currently reading: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
Lite Review:
I’m not finished reading this, but I just started reading this two or three days ago, and so far, I am really enjoying this. It’s a nice introduction to Native American literature if you have never read any books written by Native authors or books about Native people. I have NEVER read any Native books, so I checked out some books by Sherman Alexie from the library.
This is a Young-Adult novel written for young people, but it doesn’t make it LESS enjoyable at all. There are some cool, funky illustrations throughout the book to illustrate the narrator’s dreams of becoming a comic novelist. The narrator is a fourteen years old American Indian boy who grows up on a Spokane Indian reservation.
Also reading: Beneath the Lion’s Gaze, by Maaza Mengiste (set in Ethiopia during the 1974 Communist Revolution) …
Full book reviews of BOTH BOOKS coming soon, insha’Allah.
This sounds really interesting.

I haven’t posted any of my music-related ventures on here in a while, but here goes.
This is an acoustic cover of Katy Perry’s The One That Got Away. I performed this with a good friend on December 20th, 2011 at the Wicklow Pub in Vancouver; about half a year after the last gig I did, and I swore my sweet life that I would get back to doing music.
I messed up on the second verse, and I wasn’t pitch-perfect, but I did blush a little when the waitress working that night complimented me on my performance.
This gig was something close to my heart. It was the first gig I’d played with that same friend after 2 years of not playing with each other. The audience were my close friends. It was typical Vancouver weather. It was perfect.
I miss performing so much. I constantly tell myself that I want to be a singer because I’m no good at anything else, and even at this I’m not anything special at. But truly, this is where my heart lies.
AHHH JANINE, Y U SO AWESOME.

Even though emotional abuse leaves no physical signs, it has devastating consequences for child development and functioning.

The amount of times I have said this to my boyfriend. I tried many times to use this to break up with him but he has persevered and made me realise that he loves me for me, even with the unstable times.
