| It is 2:00 am and I want to sleep, but I cannot because I need to finish what I am working on. I decided that I do not find my occupation that beautiful right now. I feel like dedicating myself to peace, love and understanding. Am I becoming a better person? |

| Sebnemy, what is your occupation? I noticed in the other thread you mentioned something about finishing an article. Are you a writer? |

lol! Wow! It makes total sense! I am not one, but I was writing about tree-hugging hippies--really, I was writing about ecotourism facilities:) That's why I felt that way. You are a genius! Now I will go and hug the closest reinforced concrete column to undo it. |

I wish!
(By the way, Nikki please call me sebnem)
Technically I am an architect, but I am not practicing. After a masters and a Ph.D. I found myself as a faculty member in a school of architecture, teaching courses in architectural theory (and history) and in architectural design. I write articles, book chapters, etc. but I cannot call myself a writer... Just doing the things that academicians do. |

Oh, that sounds really fun, especially the history side of it. I read Architectural Digest a lot. :)

LOL. Maybe also kill an endangered animal for good measure. |

No no no, not that far! If reinforced concrete column does not cut it I will sniff some car exhaust--I rather harm myself (this is getting very dramatic, I will stop :) |

thx. I have more fun with theory, especially after realising that half of the people are not really sure of what they are talking about but they look soooo sure of themselves. Cracks me up. Or maybe you meant that I have a fun history, well, that too. :)
All I want to read these days is Entertainment Weekly... |

By the way, I've just realized that there is a song called "What's so funny 'bout Peace Love and Understanding" by Curtis Stigers. I'm dedicating it to you:) |

Elvis Costello did that too. (I'm guessing it's the same song coz it's a bit of a long title, not very common i imagine...) |

Yep, they're exactly the same. I wonder who sings the original one. |

I'm updating: The song was written by Nick Lowe in 1974:) |

In fact I know and it was a reference to the song...Michael (you know who that is but for others: my husband) annoys the hell out of me singing it sometimes.
Sevgili physke Gozde, you know me well enough to call me Sebnem (omit "hoca" of course). |
