Yah? Some people liked it long, some liked it short. I'm mixed.

She is one of a kind.

I know the capital of Turkey!!! We have a class called Asian history during highschool, and our teacher made us memorize capitals of Asian countries. hahaha.
I also have the same problem as Luna. Once I try to remember something random, I can't sleep until I found the answer.

It's funny how many people think the capital is Istanbul.
It must be that song... Ah but we know the truth!

Luna's my favorite.

She's a good one.

Yeah boi! She reminds me of myself sometimes...except for the dark backstory part.

Well, I'm glad people see themselves in the story. I didn't exaggerate much, either.

Yep. You are a master of characterization, sir.

You could be too! The trick is to watch people without them realizing it. One way to do it is to be completely nonreactive to anything, even fire alarms. Also in conversations let the other person do most of the talking. Oh yes, and take lotsa mental notes.

Hmmmm. I like that visual of sitting still while a fire alarm goes off. I might draw that now...

Haha! People watching can be fun up to the point when someone realizes they are being watched, then they usually don't like it.

Yeah...I've gotten caught before...trying to explain that I need to draw people from observation usually doesn't help. XD

The label Stalker is not a pleasant one.

No, no it's not. XD

there be another reason I stay awake at night.

Yeah. I had this happen to me. Finally I got up, opened the encyclopedia and found out it is Ankara.

Thank you for saving me a trip to Google.

It would have kept you up all night. It almost did to me.

I'd likely have been more preoccupied with 4-D space. Now THAT will keep you up all night.

Strangely the things that keep me up are things that seem like they should be really obvious

Such as if you remembered to go pick up that relative from the airport? I must make that a comic. But I already used up the forgetfulness joke....

What will be funny is the stuff Agi does remember.

Except for recently, I have mostly resembled Luna. Grass. Spaceships. Technology as spiritual metaphor. The Dutch inventing carrots as we know them. Random stuff like that.

Yeah. Luna is a mix up of people. Really, there is a lot of Danny in there, a little of you, (truth be told) and bit of Lovina, but then there is a dear friend who is the soul of Luna.

Ah! I am a little flattered

She is a character I'm very pleased with. At first I wasn't sure how she'd turn out.

Istanbul!
But seriously, I really like the direction of the story so far. It's heading for a wrap up.
π: 0 β©: 1
Is it? I don't know, I'm no good with capitals.

Tis a city called Ankara. After the Turks sacked the Ottoman empire they changed the old capital Constantinople to Istanbul, and the capital to Ankara. I will bring this up in the next batch of comics.

Great. you learn something everyday.

I'm teaching myself geometry and trig. 2 things I should have learned in HS, but didn't. So I will now! They will come in handy for the next big story I'll do.

Hmm, if they both can't sleep, they oughta go out & party.

Luna is usually okay with sleep. But when odd things enter into her mind, there will be no sleep.

I wanna say it's Istanbul, but I'm pretty sure I'm wrong. I know Istanbul is the only city that's on two different continents.

Haha I figured that, like I said, I dunno what it is. If my grandmother was still alive, she woulda told me... she's from Istanbul, haha.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, the current capital is Ankara, but before when Istanbul was Constantinople it was the capitol of the Ottoman Empire.

Tru dat. I never paid attention in history class, haha.
π: 0 β©: 1
I hated history class. All the history I've learned since then. Why can't they make school more interesting?? I tell you, there's an enormous ammount to learn. It's just school presents it in the worst way possible.

Yeah, they need a more fun approach honestly. My french teacher has us read poems and sing on occasion, but that's quite fun if you're into that shit. I'm actually working on a song where the chorus/modified chorus is in french. It's pretty fucking sweet.

French Techno kicks ass. It's like something they're just good at.

Yeah, it's the shit man. I got to listen to somebody who was doing like an online DJ type of thing, it was crazy man. Speaking of which, I SHOULD finish this song I'm writing (chorus is in french, being sang like r&b while the verses are spit like a rap song), but the song's laid out for a series of events that are happening with that girl I was telling you about.

Nice! You'll have to post the lyrics some day. Though my French is rusty like a 1970 Chevy truck on a redneck's lawn.

Chorus :
Je sais pas pourquoi
Que tu dites moi
que tu m'aimes pas
je comprends que
tu as un copain
mais tu as ma main
dans ta main
et ta tΓͺte est sur mon cΕur
Je sais pas pourquoi
(Verse 1)
I never felt so lost in thought, over a single chick/
Feelings flooding my heart, I never wanted to fall so quick/
Donβt want my emotions wrecked, just like the twin towers/
I can lay wide awake, thinking of you for hours/
Talked to you as a friend, but the more I got to know/-
You, I slowly started to fall, and on me you started to grow/
Eventually asked you out, it wasnβt quite a yes/
But now I write this song, and I feel like a mess/
I donβt know how to tell you, so thatβs why thereβs this song/
Originally wasnβt about you, but proved myself wrong/
Started about a girl that likes me, but with a different guy/
All scripted out in French, and now I sit and wonder why/
Youβre always crossing my thoughts, running through my brain/
But at the rate Iβm falling, my heart will just end in pain/
I guess I need to look on the bright side of all things real/
Not to think negative and with these feelings to seal//
Mod. Chorus:
Je sais pas pourquoi
Que tu dites moi
que tu m'aimes pas
Mais tu as ma main
Dans ta main
Et ta tΓͺte est sur mon cΕur
You can go to google and use the language tool and get it translated... or I can translate it for you.

I can kinda follow the chorus, but I'll need to bust out the dictionary and dust the old thing off.
