Thanks For Coming by Mara Altman

Thanks for Coming
One Young Woman’s Quest for an Orgasm
By Mara Altman
I have just finished reading this very witty ,funny and very human book by this lovely young writer Mara AltAnd so she embarked on a wildly funny, emotionally resonant odyssey—a journey both inside and outside herself—only to discover that, for Mara, orgasm was connected to a part of her that no vibrator could reach. Thanks for Coming is one woman’s look at our obsession with and anxiety over the female orgasm. Her quest to get her own yields poignant results that will surprise even the sexually awakened among us. From sex shows to sex conventions, from a therapist’s couch to her own couch, from the bedroom to the bar, Mara Altman proves to be a guide as hilarious as she is investigative.

I was glad to read something so human and honest to bone. Also I have been thinking the differences between My home country Turkey and America and this books is another example how two culture is so different.And I am so glad to be different than my fellow people even it makes life so difricult and misrable for me in Turkey.
Well please read the book ,I promise you will love it.
This is what Amazon says about the book:

Project Elvan and Elvan and Smart Home

I just arrived to my condo yesterday from Turkey.My condo is in Toronto and during my stay in Turkey I rented it to a tenant.Well my sheep fur carpet was gone. Why because apparently she decided to wash it in the washing machine.Brilliant idea!.
I have so much shit already in my place and I need a spring cleaning. Or fall cleaning! .And I need some furniture’ too.So I am starting my own project Elvan. Instead of getting upsat why not enjoy the process.
My first task was getting tv and dvd for my place . So I took a taxi to best buy. I asked to my moody indian taxi driver nearest Best Buy. Best Buy was not as clean and friendly as American best buys. Here Toronto again .My another indian best buy worker were pretendindg busy usual.I told him that I wanna buy 19 or 21 inch tv and dvd player. At the end I decided to buy Toshiba brend tv which was cheaper than others and sony dvd player. I jusy cant believe people could spend so much money for hugh size tvs.I have a small space anyway. And I am not planning to watch tv .I will be renting dvds to watch.
Also internet is much more fun.And I like keeping in touch with people that i know .
I found a great book and I wanna recommend it to everyone.It is called smart home. The writer after her divorce moves to much smaller space and she discovers how to live smarter with less stuff and comfort.
She at the end discovers she needs only 98 items in her home to feel comfartable. I need much less .Kitchen and bathroom need s the most items and end the end we need something to sit comfartable and of course relax sleeping area.
I learned hard way about these rules. I carried so many things after my divorce too. I was so attached to my books and clothings ,diaries so on…And that made my life heavier and put so much on my shoulders.
I now dont wanna buy anything for home .All I want is travel to somewhere hot and friendly .I already started to my spanish lessons.
And I cant wait until march. I think feb. is the time to move .Ahh but what am i gonna do with my car? You see again having goods is haunting me.

Counting down the days.I cant believe it is already 2 november. Here in Turkey is raining and very cool.I wanted to buy desserts for my sister and mom and her twins.Tiramisu .Well tiramisu was so so .

4 NOVEMBER THE DAY TO FLY TO TORONTO

I am so nervous .Could it be the nescafes that ı have been drinking lately?.I have been here for 6 months and that was enough mind confusıon for me.Still where ı am makes me so lazy ,ıt is hard to move .Thats why I believe I need travel and exciment in my blood. I now understand someone so well.I understand why he has to sacrifice so much to reach what he wants. This journey also thought me or shall I say open my eyes how cultures can be different .It is not only what they eat or wear or their houses or cars or material things.Now I know how people are living in different dimensions.People in Turkey and western world are in different parellel worlds.And it seems to me they could never really come together after this moment.Turkey is getting more crowded and population increase decreases quality of life and education.

Sex with a sheep-:))

There is this writer that I like to read in one of the turkish newspapers. Actually he is the only one that I like to read in a turkish newspapers.His name is Serdar Turgut. And I just finished reading one of his funniest articles.That put a smile on my face.One really needs living in a country like Turkey to understand how it is important to make people laught. I dont know what it is with being mean with these people .Is it something belong to the region ,ıs ıt middle eastern thing? or ıs it muslim soceity thing.
Anyways ,the article was about sex with a sheep.Apparantly a man was caugth having sex with a sheep in Iowa state. The twist in the story is not what he was trıyıng to do but he apparently tried to put a blue nigthgown to this poor sheep.
And Serdar Turgut says here why blue why not black ? .yee bring it on ha ha ,this guy dıd not have a taste for sexy underwear.
Also Serdar shares a very humorous web side .http://www.adultsheepfinder.com/ New Zealand’ s number one dating web side.
This reminds me The Onion magazine.I love this homour.Who says Americans are not funny.Far from it.They are the funniest and cleverest when it come to observations .
Well I needed to smile and Thanks to Serdar .I did.

Turkıye de olalı altı ayı gectı. Sanırım gecen sene gecırdıgım zamanımdan sonra kı en zor gunlerm oldu.Asırı derece de kafa karısıklıgı ve uzuntu yasadım.
Uzun zaman kuzey amerıka da yasadıkdan sonra buraya alısmak cok zor hemde o kadar zor kı.Bu blog u sadece ıcımı bosaltmak ıcın yazıyorum.
Su anda artık kendımı Kafka romanlarının ıcınde gıbı hıssedıyorum.
Artık cıkma vaktı geldı.Bu son ayı nasıl gecırecegım bılmıyorum.Bır ay daga annemler ıcın uzatmakla hata yaptım sanırım. Cunku dayanabılırlık sınırım cokdan gectı.Insanlar mutsuz ve mutlularda cok sınsıler ve baskalarını mutsuz yapmakdan mutlu oluyorlar.
Bence bızım mıllet cok guzel bır demır perde ulkesı olurmus.Demır perde gectı ama bızımkıler hala o ruh halı ıcınde yasıyorlar.
Ve en cok korkmanız ve uzak durmanız gereken ınsanlarda teyzeler ,ablalar fılan pısmakan….
Su anda kafam bosaldı cunku kımse ıle konusacak bırsey bulamıyorum.
Hersey laf yarısı ve cırkeflık.Ve ben bu ulkenın gelecegını bu ınsanlar yuzunden hıc ıyı gormuyorum.
