PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ALREADY!!!
Yes, I indeed promised a girlblog on my 1000th post, but well. This won't be just girlblogging. I promise. And actually now I'm thinking of telling all my life here. I don't know how to start this...
Alright, let's go chronologically. On 24th of September 1991; Metalwing, me, today's 1k poster was born in Turkey. LOL, this sucks. I'm just going to talk about the important things in my life, after that I'm going to move on with my experiences with SC:BW, SC2 and girls.
The first important experience of me was when I was 10, which mostly consists of funny and stupid stories that I'm about to tell. At the summer, I went to germany to my cousins. It ended up being the most amusing trip of my life. First, I was in Berlin with my cousins, we frequently went to Kreuzberg (although my cousins lived near Zehlendorf), played with other Turkish kids, we were the happiest kids in the city. I mean totally. We played football, roamed the streets together, rang all the bells and ran away, having all sorts of fun. When we were roaming the street once, we saw a tattoo studio in a basement. We looked at inside, we saw a totally bald man getting tattooed.
Me: "Dude, he's a nazi"
Cousin: "Oh fuck, he really is"
Of course they heard this (who wouldn't hear when you call someone 'Nazi' in Kreuzberg from 6 feet above), the guy shouted "don't run you twurps" in Turkish, but we were so fucking scared that we just screamed "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhh" and ran for our lives, let alone noticing he too is Turkish. The guy we called 'Nazi' ended up being a friend of my cousin's uncle. When we got home, we saw him and screamed again. Then he told what happened and we just laughed.
A week after this, we went to another city, where my aunt lived and taught german to russian immigrants, and I joined my aunt's classes for the sake of learning german (My german is good, thanks to those classes).
We sometimes ditched the class and went to the closest place that we can play football. Actually, when it came down to football, we two were the kings, big bosses. We have beaten everyone there (we won 2v4 matches against 2 kids of the same age 2 teenagers that were obviously older and bigger than us). But once, we had to run like 2 crazy motherfuckers because a little kid who we called "kleiner" (it means "shorty" in english) got pissed at us (we found his ball among bushes and started playing because there was nobody at the field) and gathered his friends to beat us. We 2 could beat him and other twurps there, but he also called the big boys who were among the people that we beat in soccer. My aunt was pissed because we ditched the class, "stole" someone's ball and played with it.
And once, when we went to the pool, we started racing with my cousin on the water slide. Once, a little girl used the "porn-o-star" trick on me, he pulled my swimming shorts down. I got so pissed that I pulled her with me before sliding all the way down (my intention was 'eye for an eye' which meant me doing the same trick on her, but appearantly her bikini was connected from the back). When we got down, she called the guard and I claimed that I was molested by her and literally got away with that. Guard started telling her why molesting other people is bad. When we passed by the same place about an hour later, she was still with the guard and he was still talking about why molesting is bad.
A few days later, minigolf with my cousins (I got 3 of them with me, but the only particular cousin that I played soccer with is male). My aunt had to leave for some important reason, asked if we could find the way home (otherwise she would bring us back to home immediately), as we wanted to play longer, we instantly said "yes we can". That was a bad idea. The youngest cousin (9 yo at that time) claimed that we should cross the street, follow the straight way next, we 3 other people immediately disagreed with her. We went down the street instead of crossing it, which led us to highway that we felt fucking lost. 5 minutes later, a bus came, we insta-got in, went all the way to the end-station which was right at the opposite side of the city. 5 inches west, and we leave the city. So we got on the next bus, which was going to the other direction, we again went all the way to the end station, and this time, we were 5 inches away from leaving the city from the eastside. We again got in the bus, going to the westside, trying to go to the minigolf field so that we could call my aunt and she could pick us up, but my 9yo cousin spotted the supermarket which is right next to my aunt's apartment, we got out at the next station and went home. Most interesting thing about this: We all were hungry, thirsty, exhausted, but the first thing we all did was peeing when we were finally at home. And that's how my trip to Germany was. Fucking awesome. And yeah, my 9 yo cousin was right. We should have crossed the street. That was is a lot shorter. My aunt confirmed it.
When I got back, I started working in my dad's cafe (I can carry drinks with a tray and that's why). I earned my own money, made some friends (one of them actually tipped me so good), spent the summer well. My dad still says that I'm his best worker.
2 years later, I started high school. After scoring good in High School Entrance Exam, I started a good high school, where I had the most material for the girl part of this 1000th post. But let's leave the girl part aside. High school is the part where I thought about taking on a martial art, if possible capoeira, most seriously (actually I took on capoeira in my 2nd year at the university, which is last year). And besides that, high school is the place where the fakest friendships occur. Or my fakest friendships occured. I was the little twurp in my high school. I was a pre-puberty kid who is barely 5 feet, weighed 100 lbs barely, the cutest kid in the school according to the girls from senior class, had the best english in my class which was the reason why I either slept or played pokemon in classes. In my time, first year of high school had no important classes, didn't even have credit in a student's average grade, didn't have classes of math, physics, chemistry, biology, all that good jazz. It was 20 hours of english per week along with 4 hours of turkish literature, some classes of art, music, physical education etc. So, there was no reason for me to study.
After my second year, I started studying because my grades then started to effect. I had very good scores on every single class except geography. The class that I hated the most. I was still looking for a capoeira school for mysef, I actually found one, but my family didn't allow me because "my school was more important". I mean yes, it is. But what's up with all of these. With this, my capoeira dreams faded until the end of hi-school.
I'm actually skipping the 2nd year, because that year is the most boring one ever. Exactly nothing happened.
Third year, the year of university exam. Because my grades were lower than at least half of my class, people thought that I'd be ranked 15ish in my class and 50ish in the whole school. But, they had no idea about one thing: I was much more clutch than all those other people combined. And that led me become 2nd in my class after a girl who failed in the first year of med school and in top 5 or 10 in the whole school. Now I'm studying electrical engineering at Turkey's best university. Suck it high school teachers, YEAH.
In my freshman year of university, I joined IEEE student branch of my university. They were good, but they didn't give me what I expected. That branch is being run by some party girls, and that made me quit. Actually, hanging out with party girls was good, but that's just not what I expected from an IEEE student branch.
2nd year, I kinda failed at all my classes. I failed every single class except elective spanish class, non credit history class and a repeated physics class. 2nd term, I passed most of my classes, but I still failed at electromagnetics theory and probability theory. And, I started capoeira. I now have my 2nd degree belt, which is ashgray-yellow (Muzenza Capoeira system). My capoeira nickname is lobo, which means wolf. In my batizado, some guy took his nickname from the brazilian samba dancer, I still make fun about it after all this time. You're supposed to take your nickname from your mestre, not a samba dancer.
And yes, my batizado schenanigans. The samba dancer made me samba dance on the stage. It was like, she started her show, she danced danced danced and at some point, she came to us, wanted some people to dance with her. I was sitting with a girl, she came, took her, I looked at her face, laughed and said "see ya". That dancer looked at me, said "you won't get away that easily", dragged me all the way to the stage and made me dance. Normally, it was not something that I'd say no. But, I didn't have a belt, I was chewing a gum, I knew that my capoeira pants would slide down if I don't constantly pull them up and it happened the exact same way I anticipated. Even worse, all the time on the stage, I looked at the feet of the dancer because I didn't want to miss any steps. Actually you can easily picture me if you think about someone who looks at down right, constantly pulls his pants, chews gum and misses turns or turns from the opposite direction. I actually also had shakes (because I was dancing on a stage in front of over 800 people) but shakes really help when you need to shake your ass.
Also, in my second term, i met the most interesting girl in my life. Think about someone who had sex with over 20 boys in her life, knows every fucking thing about relationships, and is fucking cool. She totally changed my view on girls, relationships, all my life. I'll talk about her more on girl part.
Now, let's go on with SC:BW. The first time I met SC was when I bought a game magazine which gave SC's demo version. I started with that. But, that demo only allowed me to play Terran, so I didn't enjoy it that much. Protoss fucking baller to me, so I fucking raged at not being able to play protoss. My big cousin had the game, so when I went him, I played the game. And protoss was fucking baller in my eyes. As I didn't have so much experience with the game, and I desperately wanted to play it, I downloaded it later. A few years later, to be more accurate. I started with protoss, played the game with cheats til last year.
Last year, I was able to give computer a good match. But that was it. I was unable to beat computer. So, I dropped it. Earlier this year, something like april, I quitted DotA, started BW again, discovered TL near June (I was looking for a good site for BW strategies at that time). I mostly was following the pro scene from gosugamers (LOL). After I started following TL, I discovered that every single news in gosugamers was from TL. And, every single time I watched a pro match, it was on a team liquid stream. So, I became a member of TL. I think it was around the R5 of the last season's PL, when I became a member and posted for the first time. But, when I learned about TL for the first time was Nony triumphing over Mondragon (my favorite player) in TSL finals (after eliminating IdrA who canceled his CC against Nony instead of pulling the worker building that CC). I had everything I wanted about SC in here. So I stayed. Winner interviews, live report threads, strat forums, even blogs. But I was never able to win games in iccup, til last friday or something like that. And my only win in iccup is a 5 pool against a Terran player who appearantly tried 1 rax fe (fighting spirit, cross spawn). I also played a little bit on Garena, proxy 2-gated my friend for a win, we 4pool-BBS'd our way to 2v2 victories, but that's it about BW. After that, I switched to Zerg. The real reason is HyungJoon. I thought "Well, he can play Zerg. Why can't I?". I watched every single episode of HyungJoon becomes a progamer, tried to learn things in the order that he learnt, practice against AI. But I didn't spend too much time on it, so my BW experience was a blow. I added some people from TL for practice (Ursad0n is one of them, I played some games with him), but I was never able to win a macro game.
So, I decided to switch to SC2. I didn't play it in the beta, started at 1.03 patch, on 15th of September. I registered to some turkish communities, insulted noob Terrans there who claim that Terran was up, Zerg was stupid, IdrA was a piece of shit etc. I'm almost sure that drewbie is the idol of at least one of them. I once insulted an author of a famous gaming magazine (in Turkey) called Level, whose name is Nurettin Tan (or NUBrettin Terran as I call him) because he wrote that banelings were op, 1.1 patch changes were stupid and all that stupid jazz. Actually, most of my SC2 experiences is blogged, if you have ever seen one of my "Noob goes SC2" blogs. Right now, I'm a 1.3k silver zerg who is "even" matched against gold players higher points and constantly beat them if they are not zerg and try to go macro games (one was on 52 food when I was on 120).

That was all about SC2 and me.
------------------------
OK, now we came to the part where most of you will scroll down to the end: Girlblog. Here, I'll tell you everything about me and girls. First, I'll start by telling that I'm the equivalent of SKT Zerg in that. The one who sucks hardest.
In elementary school, I was so shy that I couldn't even tell my friends about the girl I love. By the 7th grade, there was a girl that I liked. For 3 months, I tried to talk to her. After 3rd month, she talked when I was talking to one of our common friends in front of her. So we talked for the first time. It went like this for 1 week. I thought that she also liked me. At least her actions said so. She was constantly looking at me, started sitting with me in the school bus, we were always talking, but well. I missed a certain score because of shyness. A similar thing happened in 8th grade as well. There was a girl I liked, and we had a good talk and I was a little less shy, but still it was enough to hold me for more than 6 months to confess to her. I learned that she was going out with an old friend of mine for 4 months (FML). At least I learned it before confessing, which is better than what happened to me in high school, first grade.
So yes, my mother was insisting on me to talk to her friend's daughter. I always said "yeah yeah, I will. Really.". Once, she found me at school, we started talking. We were good friends again, but I didn't know one thing: she had a boyfriend. After 2 months or something like that, I tried to confess her. It was like this: I phoned her.
Me: Hi
She: Hi
Me: How r u doin
She: Nothing much, just studying. You?
Me: Nothing much either.
...
Me: I want to ask you something.
She (nuclear launch detected): Go on.
Me: Would you go out with me?
This was the stupidest question I have ever asked someone. It was totally like a nuke was about to land. I kinda heard the whistle which is like "pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew".
She: I'm so sorry, but no.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM. The nuke landed. But, I don't know why, I wasn't sad. I actually have never been sad, depressed, demoralized about a girl issue, with only 2 exceptions.
Next year, this time I fell in love with a girl who is 3 years older than me. She was smokingly hot and had everything that I could ask for. We got along very well, but that didn't block my shyness which was right back at me. I couldn't confess to her, but I could easily become a material for making fun in my class. I don't remember how many times someone asked me 'if the next one was someone who recently graduated from high school'.
In the second year, I was at the course, went to my guidance teacher to convince her that I didn't need extra physics class. And there was the girl, looking at me, smiling with her beautiful eyes and cute smile. I couldn't even talk to my guidance teacher because I was too busy looking at that girl. I later talked to her, but didn't do anything later on.
My 3rd and last year at hi-school was so empty in terms of girls. I didn't have a crush on anyone (for the first time).
After I entered the university, a girl talked to me. She was the exact same girl that was at the 2nd year of my high school. I had the same crush on her again. And I didn't do anything until the summer, because I was fucking uncertain about her. There was another girl, we were at the same sub-committee at IEEE, when I was there. I made a very good present for her birthday, I made her picture along with all our friends in the sub committee and printed them on a t-shirt and wrote 'happy birthday'. She looooooooved the present. But well, I didn't do anything about her after that. I was still falling for the other girl from hi-school. And she rejected me. That was the first time I had that awkward feeling.
Next year, I met with this girl. I'm trying to get rid of her ever since. I liked her, she liked me too, we started going out. But it didn't work out well, we broke up. After we broke up, she first wanted to stay as friends, but I still loved her and I couldn't get over (well, it's not easy if you end up being the only one with feelings). She said "we're better off as friends", "I don't know what I want", all that stupid jazz. Some time later she bluffed me that she would not talk to me ever again, I insta-raised her bluff, said "don't talk to me ever again, because I won't". We didn't talk until the summer. By the spring term of the school, I met this other girl. She was cool, knew everything about relationships, etc. We're good friends now and neither one of us is thinking about going any further with the other, which is good. By the summer, the girl who bluffed me, talked to me again, and I told her to go find another hobby. I actually blogged about it, and a good number of people insulted me for that. But, there is one response on that, which made me LOL.

Later I talked to her, it was a few weeks ago, we were friends again, I felt that I still love her. She realized that I was serious (who wouldn't after being told so many times), she said the same things again.
But, this time, after my girl buddy told me about her own experiences, I instantly said "Fuck it, she's playing with me. I'm out.". I didn't talk to her ever since. I know I'll talk to her again, but well, I hope I'll not screw up again. And I hope I'll not like her ever again. Being played with is not a good thing.

So, that is that for my 1000th post. Thanks for reading, or scrolling all the way down here.
