I am just itching to write.
Jan 15, 2011
Hello Everyone!
I should be back soon, hopefully reviewing your works :)
Jan 6, 2011
Happy New Year's Everyone. I am sorry for my delayed absence. School and life are hectic for me, and while I have been writing and reading plenty I haven't actually gotten into editing and revision section of my stories, poems, reviews, etc. I have been bad with reading weekly your wonderful works as well. I haven't forgotten about you, it's just that my time has gotten so limited and restricted as of late :( Since I am hesitant to published unfinished, unedited and unrevised work in comparison to before, I will pick up reading again and hopefully sometime soon I can start publishing again!
Sep 23, 2010
I know I haven't been around! I am sorry for not keeping up with my promise.
I just have been running around like crazy. D.C. had be tired out more than I calculated and with the schools starting at the end of August it was back to school preps for me.
I haven't had a time to breathe in between.
So I will be back soon.!
Aug 16, 2010
Yello. I have been back from D.C. for a few days now but it has been taking me a while to recuperate. It was extremely humid and hot while my daily schedule for the symposium was maxed out. I learned a lot and made some great connections and it has rekindled my old passion for politics :)
I will shortly be resuming my old reading schedule.
Jul 31, 2010
Hello everyone! I am in D.C. and will be for the next two weeks for a workshop on U.S. Foreign policy so my time on the internet will be limited for personal use!
Have a great weekend!
Jul 25, 2010
I am really itching to publish some of my newer poems here that I've actually written during college instead of high school. I think most of you would enjoy them more, and there will be a lot of you probably unhappy with them as the tone, mood and themes changes immensely. I am still going through writing/editing phase which I am not ready to actually publish them. Maybe I will save it all to my new page?
Decisions...decisions...decisions...

Oi, why are plane tix so damn expensive???
Jul 12, 2010
Hello everyone. I hope everyone is doing well.
So, I have just created my first pen name ever and will be opening a Booksie and gmail accounts soon under that name. I have decided that I will move my already existing content to that site, as I edit them, in the order I would like them to be seen. And all of my new writing will appear there in due time. The reason behind this decision was to remain some anonymity and perhaps some personal publishing in the upcoming years. I will request to be your fans when I am prepared to actually start publishing work :)
This site will remain active as well, at least for a while :)
Jul 4, 2010
I am thinking of making some drastic changes to my booksie life.
Jul 1, 2010
hello...helloo..hellooo.
Today was my off day. For the first time in a long time I decided to take some me time. I've been working a lot lately. The weather was too beautiful to pass it up, to be couped in at home. It is my only off day in the next three weeks. And this whole summer, I've either been working, or its been raining on my off days :((
and yay for me for finally using it wisely :PP
Jun 28, 2010
Hello everyone. I hope everyone is having a blast and enjoying their summer. While I am back on booksie, reading and commenting other users works and replying back to the comments I receive. Publishing my work on here is still on hiatus.This does not mean I am not writing. Quite to the contrary. I have been busy and so the pages of my poetry notebook, my story and ideas notebooks are all scribbled away. This requires a lot of time and organizational skills. So instead of rushing and presenting you with half baked poetry, stories and articles I wanted to really take my time and polish them. Therefore all of my writing is still in hiatus. I want to devote a considerable amount of time to these figments of my imagination and my writing process is a bit painful and requires a lot of steps. So at the moment, I am busy writing everything down. It seems I just can't write them fast enough. Later, I will type them up and then including with everything I currently have on my Booksie portfolio will be edited. When I feel I have revised my works thoroughly and become satisfied, I will start publishing them once again.
Until then, make sure to read my profile and let me know what you think about what I'm reading, the sonnets that are available.
Stop by, say hi. Let me know what you're up to and I'll read your work :))
Jun 24, 2010
Dear neighbor, please make your phone calls after midnight in your own apartment and not in front of my window at two in the morning. Even if I am awake, I am under no law or customs obligated to hear your hour long conversation where you scream and cry on the phone and curse. On a side note, it is extremely rude and in no way under communal living expectations of this behavior. Go take a walk to the park where you don't have to disturb your sleeping neighbors.
Next time this happens, I am going to have two bowls of water, one ice cold, the other boiling hot water. I will throw them on you!

Really doesn't like religious propaganda. Thanks.

I received some horrible news today--probably the worst one in this past five months. Another death at my door step...although I had never meet John in real life.
John, I became fond of you quickly after reading one, short, simple article you wrote. You were one of the funniest men I had ever the pleasure to "know". Although you called yourself a hack writer, I think you were a brilliant writer.
Rest in peace and my condolences to your family.
Jun 19, 2010
Hello everyone.
I was off booksie today, because I went go-karting...and yes, I , of course won. What did you expect?
I, also will be off from booksie tomorrow. I will work on my little vegetable garden and perhaps head out to a bbq :)
So have a wonderful Sunday, and see you Monday :P

Lil' Naz (as a dear of my friend named Andrew used to call me) has lots and lots of bills to pay. It's like the bottomless pit. Right when I get caught up, more and more pop up. I love living alone, in my little place, but sometimes, in these days it makes me so damn frustrated. *deep sigh*
At least my whole apartment smells like fresh laundry. A clean apartment is the key to my happiness. I cannot deal with messes and dirty spaces. It makes me go bonkers. It's where I can't focus and study and it awakes me from my slumber and make me start cleaning. o.O

If I read one more person counting down to Twilight movie premiere in their status, I am going to burst into flames from where I am sitting. No plot, no character development, no true love, no action, full of logical fallacies, and a Victorian, misogynistic view of women. She can't even write!!! Why does anyone even care so much? I'll never understand!!!!!!!
Jun 13, 2010
Dear employer, it has been six weeks. I need to get paid and need my check. Thank you very much.
P.S. If I hear one more lady gaga song on the radio, I am going to smash the radio at my work. Grrr!
Jun 11, 2010
Hey there!
So I think I should of caught up with most of you, if not have read and commented on most of your stuff. So I am focusing on writing and editing my stuff so that by the end of the month I can start publishing again.
Check out the sonnet by Sir Wyatt Thomas and let me know what you think!
Jun 8, 2010
Hey Everyone. I have updated all of my book reviews. Please check them out and let me know how they read.

Dear neighbor, please turn off your carbon monoxide detector. A) it's batteries are dying. B) you have monoxide present in your home. Please open your windows and shut that thing down, or change the batteries. It's beeping doesn't stop and is driving me crazy!!!!
Sincerely, your crazed neighbor.

Hi, everyone. I was off booksie on Friday and Saturday. I was off due to live Jazz Festival where I live, with great home brewed beer against the lake. A relaxing weekend indeed. Today, I was off planting tomatoes, onions and Italian beans :) MM yum. I can't wait to harvest those :) So I am back today and will be responding back to comments and wall posts and will be reading some of your works.
Jun 3, 2010
Damn you document processor! You crashed on me before I saved.
May 31, 2010
I am still trying to catch up with everyone. This is going to take longer than I originally thought. However I am so very happy to see that people have been producing such great stories and poems. I can't wait to read them all.
I decided to read a few people at a time to really soak in your writing and to really return thoughtful and observant comments.
If I haven't gotten to you at all yet, give me a few days. I am surely to return back to you :D
May 27, 2010
HI everyone!
I think I have comment on everyone's walls!
I am trying to catch up on everyone's work. Give me a few times. You guys have been busy while I was out and have published so many works. It's great and I am happy for you guys and I am trying to show my support by reading all of your works. So its going to take some time to get to all of them. So give me about a week or so, then I think I should have caught up with all of you :)
I can't wait to get my hands on all of your works. So very exciting.
May 26, 2010
Hi everyone.
I have replied back to comments on my wall and my work.
Tomorrow I will start reviewing work of my readers.
thank you all for your patience and the kind comments you've all left me
May 25, 2010
Hi Everyone! I hope everyone is doing well and finished up their finals!
I am excited for this upcoming summer :)) I can't wait.
My profile is back online and I will be doing some catching up with all of you first, then I plan on publishing some work. Thanks for your support and patience!
May 23, 2010
I have turned in all of my work yay!!!!!!! Oh God, what a semester this was. It was extremely difficult and challenging. I had a lot of reading, a lot of interpretation and a lot of writing to do, it was all worth it baby. But I have to say I loved my classes, especially my Literature ones. I've thoroughly enjoyed myself, learned so many new things. I have to say, I love my English Professor. She is one of the best teaches on earth. I owe her a big thank you.
May 21, 2010
I am just extremely frustrated and the pressure is on.
So many things are going on, I just wish somethings went right....
May 18, 2010
Dear phone, I hate you with a passion. I despise and loathe you. You have brought me nothing but trouble in the past two years. Always freezing, touching buttons on your own, calling people without my consent, answering calls I wanted to ignore. You ignore what I want to do and do what you want to do. You're like having a teenage daughter/son, you drive me crazy!
Stop calling people in the middle of the night, and responding blank texts to everyone. It wakes people up at unfortunate times.
You cause me constant worry. Your batter ends far too quickly, and your touch screen makes it impossible for me to achieve a simple task.
I loathe you. I am going to upgrade you as soon as my promotion time is in effect! Go to phone hell!
May 17, 2010
Yay! I am writing my last two final essays which will be due this friday by midnight.
Until then I will be swamped.
The essays I am writing on are analyzing Eliza Haywood's famous 18th C. text Fantomina: Or Love in a Maze and while it was challenging the value system of the day (how it did so) and simultaneously how it also upheld the very same value systems.
The other essay is on Angela Carter's In Company of Wolves. I am rewriting her story and explaining in a thesis driven essay why I have I have made the choices I made during adaptation.
Wish me luck!
May 8, 2010
I was able to reply back to some of you...not all and I apologize.
I have about two more intense weeks. Then I am all set! I shall return back in about two and a half weeks or so. I might just kind of sleep for a few days considering I've barely gotten any for the last five weeks!
May 4, 2010
Dear, male joggers, please keep your shirts on when you jog in public places. Thanks!

things have a way of piling up on you.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share some wonderful news. My uncle's (31) just had his wedding yesterday night :) So congrats to them. But as you can imagine how much time it took from me :) Happy stresses are welcomed and embraced.
Apr 18, 2010
HI Everyone!
I know I have been barely on, submitting work, or reading and leaving comments to your amazing works. So I want to take the time to apologize. I am truly sorry for not being able to get back to any one of you.
I appreciate the comments I've received from many of you whether it be my work, or on my wall. Sincerely, thank you!
The reason why I have gone Rogue is school. Its kicking my @$$ this semester. My classes are hard and they take a lot of time. I have a lot of reading and writing to do each week. (All of my classes are writing intensive this semester.) Between reading my texts, interpreting, understanding them, writing analysis papers about them (each week) and my job and trying to squeeze a novel a week, there is no remainder of time for anything else. I have about four more weeks left.
Then, I promise I'll be truly back, reading, commenting and posting new work.
Until then, take care and I hope your semester finishes off nicely as well.
Regards, Nazire F. Cansever

I wanted to share this piece of video with everyone.

It's about sex-slave trade in the world, specifically in Cambodia.
Head over to www.somaly.org for more information and see what you can do!

Dear Ethics Professor, its your student with the only A in the class. Please respond back to my email, so that I may turn in my Journal Entry and also my Theory Critique papers. I am pretty positive only two other people have actually done them. I am certain you are very excited to read what I have to say. (Sarcasm hand is raised.) Is that why you have been avoiding my two e-mails in the past three weeks?
Regards,
Nazire F. Cansever

Dear Employer, I know that you like running things a little disorganized and are quite flexible. I would like to note that you're an extremely nice man and very understanding. However, I find the way you schedule us for work time to be inefficient. Texting your employee in the morning of her shift three hours later proves difficult to manage and sometimes your plans does not fit into your employer's life. If we know ahead, we can arrange, but when you make things up in the last minute everybody suffers.
Thanks.
Apr 1, 2010
Dear Ethics professor, please change our textbook. Not only is it poorly written and academically invalid, it is also very disorganized and hardly allows us to walk away with solid information regarding philosophy. Please don't tell me that's philosophy. If the woman can barely give definitions in an orderly manner without confusing the rest of the philosophical world how can I properly debate of moral issues?
Thank you.
P.S. As much as I love literature, I have no idea why it is so much included in her text book. Aren't we supposed to be analyzing Philosopher's work rather than Steinbeck and Alice Walker (as much as I love them, I don't see the connection to Ethics.)
Regards, your very anxious student!

Dear Neighbor, I just wanted to let you know that I have violent inclinations towards you. Please stop turning my home time into a horror movie. Thanks!
Your, next door neighbor.

"Dear friend, After reviewing your facebook page I have come to the following conclusion: you're far too full of yourself. While self expression is admittedly an important part of life and self, trying to portray on a show that the universe revolves around you is repulsive. All of your pictures consist of yourself with a beer at hand and a cigarette butt at the other, wrapped with "ho's and bitches" according to you, and that they add up to no amount. At some place how the rest of us aren't rich enough to get in. Then you try writing some EMO quotations on your status update, wondering how you are unable to find "true" love. Being a partner to a restaurant with daddy's money at the age of 25 is not a quality trait most people would be proud of. "Managing" a restaurant consists more than just depositing annually a considerable amount of money and eating dinner there three nights a week with some "hot chicks". Also quotations written by you with no literal, allegorical, metaphorical, symbolical thought, value or consideration further only brag about you in an ambiguity and a very limited part of life that only freshman at colleges only strive to achieve. A well intended advice. The moment you get over yourself, and how epic you are the world, thinking you're the biggest shit to ever walk on earth; the sooner you'll be able to progress and evolve into a decent human being. Regards, Nazire F. Cansever

Yelloooo!
I have lightened my work load for this week :) Yayy!
So I am focusing my attention on editing my previously published work on here. A few friends of mine have been checking my work out and have kindly pointed out some mistakes and a few fallacies. Therefore, I will be using this time to edit them.
Editing is never done, there is always something to edit in one's work.
So, if you look over and see any thing that needs correction, let me know :)
Feb 26, 2010
Nazire has such a big headache. These essays (as much as I love writing them) are way darn too difficult to keep up to the page count. I don't like writing only on the surface!
Feb 21, 2010
Hi Everyone! I hope you guys have been keeping warm during the cold.
I just wanted to give heads up to everyone who ever cares to follow me through the news section :)
I have decided to put my other writing on hold, until I have finished my novel-length story. Once, that is done, I will go back to publishing poems and other genres I decided that this will be the most efficient way to handle my booksie account as of now. Between novel and everything else, it just gets too confusing and I get stretched out too thin.
This way, those who do read my novel length story won't have to wait a whole week for one chapter addition, and secondly once the book is done I can focus on my other writing until I have another novel length story at hand.
I will only publish two other pieces in mean while. Those two are the last book of Twilight Saga Review, and the book review of Abhorsen. Only because, I have already written these pieces which only need minor editing.
I know this is a lame excuse," between school, work and my life and other writing, I just can't make everything work." But it is absolutely true. So, if I am late in reviewing your work, just give me a few days to get back to you.
Feb 9, 2010
Okay what is up with all of these people begging for comments.
I am very lenient but I must admit, it got on my nerves.
Please, stop begging for it and read my work if you're already on my page and I'll return the favor.
This shows, people don't even read anything by you, or your profile.
Feb 4, 2010
Hello amigos!
how is everyone?
Sorry, I have been quite absent from booksie.
It's just that Queen Elizabeth I and Beowulf have been kicking my arse in class. The quizzes and discussions are intense, the reading is even more intense, so I needed to take some time away.
I know I have neglected replying back to comments and reading your works. But this weekend, I shall return.
Sorry, booksie has become a little bit of a luxury for me as of late.
But hope you are all doing well, and staying warm!
Jan 30, 2010
Hello Everyone.
I am currently taking two very writing and reading intensive English Literature courses which will keep me very busy. On top of which I have registered three days late. As you can guess I have to catch up.
If I am late replying back to your comments and to comment on your work, please pardon me.
Time is something not very affordable this week to me :D
Jan 30, 2010
Holla!
I hope you are all doing well!
I just wanted to give heads up.
This week will be busy and I wanted to work on editing some of my older work. I realize I have never edited some after posting, and now some errors have caught my eye.
So the rest of the week(end), I will be focusing on editing them.
I will publish very little next week, and I will take some time off the week after that to focus on essays (for school) and writing a few things for booksie.
Best regards,
Nazire

I no longer am reading Twilight fan-fiction or anything Twilight related. Please stop asking. If you already asked and I had agreed to read your story, then I will continue until I am done with your story. Even if I am currently reading your one story now, or have had read Twilight related work by you, but you have another being published currently or recently, I will not that either. But I no longer am reading stories regarding Twilight. Twilight inspired vampire world, or anywork related to Ms. Meyer. If you're writing old school vampire's such as; Bram Stoker's vampire like world, then I will give your writing a chance. Vampires are still a favorite mythical creature for me. This site is being too polluted by Twilight world and I no longer am fond of it. I understand the fact that is phenomena today. However, I will never understand why, as I cannot find anything to the novels other than it's inital appeal of a vampire love story. I also can relate to the fact those who read and are influenced by it, you need it out of your system. But you don't have to publish everything you write here. I have USBs filled with stories, poetry and the like that I will probably never ever publish. The stories are getting ridiculous and they are too far fetched. But your effort, time and talents are better off creating your own world and characters with your own imagination rather than writng about something that is already published and already written about by many people. It is also more rewarding and useful to you in the future.
Thank you,
Nazire Cansever
Jan 24, 2010
Hiyya! Thanks for keeping up with me!
I have added a new poem titled "Repentance". I know I haven't published much of poetry as of late. But I have been trying to make my portfolio diverse. At least attempt to. I am also having difficulty deciding on what to publish. I want to purely stick to my old writing, whether it be a poem, or articles, or perhaps some of my other works from my English. Lit Classes comparing a few different novels or discussing literary elements. In striving for that, I have also added an article piece called "Governing and Taxing". Last but not least, I have posted another chapter of my novel.
I hope you guys are enjoying the warmer winter weather, and be on the lookout for more from me.
Jan 19, 2010
Yellloooooo people!
I just wanted to let everyone know that I have posted the next chapter of Portrait of Illusionary Justice
and I have also edited chapters 1-5
Jan 18, 2010
Hello Everyone.
I added my last personal writing called "Purpose of Writing".
Then I added a book review "New Moon" check em out :D
Jan 14, 2010
Hey Hey everyone!
I have added an article called "A Man to Respect" and a poem called "My Blond Bombshell"
Both of which are personal.
Check em out and tell me what ya think!
I also want to thank everyone for their support and warm wishes. I am doing better and you all have been very amazing!
Thank you!

What is this feeling in my chest, that disables me to sleep at night?
I am shaky, jittery and paranoid.
Its this heaviness on my heart that I can't handle
always a doubt, always a question in the back of my mind.
Rest, trust and certainty all have left me.
This pain never ceases
always lurks away from a corner
at my most susceptible moment.
maybe its time to say farewells
Jan 12, 2010
Hello everyone. How are you all?
So, I am back, semi...I guess.
Um, I decided this week I will publish personal work after what has happened.
It would mean a lot to me if you checked them out.
I have added another chapter of A Portrait of Illusionary Justice. I have a new story called "Uncle Faik" and I have just uploaded a poem called "Dear Andrew". The last two are very personal stories for me, as they are spun from the things I've been through.
I will post an essay or an article, regarding something personal, and the week will continue on like that.
Stay warm and dry.
Cus.

So vivid and so malicious.
How could one might be so?
Time passes by and life goes by.
We're left to wonder through
trying to connect the dots of our lives
through what we remember
through what has left an imprint.
An imprint of a mere mili-second, nothing more and nothing less.
Yet it is all that remains of us,
of our lives
of our accomplishments
and then we disappear with the dust
back to ashes
to where we came from.
Then, there are those that we forget
that life challenges
and rips away from our memories
searing it with pain and agony
searing it with bitter sweet aftertaste
just so it can entangle us more
suffocate us.
Just so.
How can it be so?

Snow, snow like sugared powdered.
It's cold out here today, I wonder how cold it is out there.
Hard not to imagine the battle scene, I wonder if he's cold.
He's buried deep under the ground and all we can do from afar is think and write scenarios.
Pray as we may, but isn't there something else?
