So as you all know sometimes I do book and movie reviews. Now my followers I know it has been a few years since I have posted, but I am happy to start back and have inspiration again. Tonight I just finished a book called Ten Cents a Dance and it was an amazing read. I most definitely recommend it. The genre of the book was historical fiction and I am not usually one for this genre but once you start reading it is hard to put it down. There are some intense parts later in the book so do keep that in mind. The book takes place in the 50s in Chicago around the time of WW2. It is a coming of age story about a teenager named Ruby who has to get a job to help with living expenses. Ruby is kind of naive in the beginning, but with the events that takes place she becomes street smart and transforms into a magnificent young adult. I particularly liked this book because some of the struggles she faced I have too. Not that I know anything about growing up in that era, but thinking back to how it was to be a teenager I think we all can relate, male or female. If you do decide to give this book a go please leave comments on how you felt about it. Wishing everyone a great week!

Opretta Cosply- Seeing this reminds of the time I first cosplayed: It was Halloween and I was aware of what Cosplay was but I was still new to how experimental you could be with your outfit so I fashioned my outfit from store bought clothes and things I already owned. I was the type of person who didn't want to be to far-fetched but I still wanted it to look like the character I was portraying but I didn't want it to be over the top. So it ended looking something similar to this. Simple but still what the character looks like.

Part three of A Gift From Venus Going Home I slid back in front of my computer. My goal was to finish my introduction to my essay before lunch. I plugged in my headphones and turned on Youtube, trying to tune out the loud irrelevant thoughts in my head, but unfortunately the music from my favourite songs was in favour of dis tracting me instead of helping me focus. Soon the bell rang and lunch was in session, I sighed and logged off my computer. Okay, so when I get home, my goal is to finish my introduction to my essay. I got off the bus with my friend Brady, the ice on the sidewalk was shining from the light in the sky or the sun making an effort to peep out from behind the clouds. I jumped on top of a sheet of ice and slid down the sidewalk. Brady, was behind me, my best friend who I had adopted as my brother, we automatically connected and became friends after one conversation. Brady was a splitting image of me only younger and a boy. We would laugh together and stop...

 A song by Avril Lavigne that I think describes the deep thoughts you may feel about about another person and how hard it can be to tell them: I’m tugging at my hair I’m pulling at my clothes I’m trying to keep my cool I know it shows I’m staring at my feet My cheeks are turning red I’m searching for the words inside my head [Pre-Chorus] (Cause) I’m feeling nervous Trying to be so perfect Cause I know you’re worth it You’re worth it Yeah [Chorus] If I could say what I want to say I'd say I wanna blow you... away Be with you every night Am I squeezing you too tight If I could say what I want to see I want to see you go down On one knee Marry me today Guess, I’m wishing my life away With these things I’ll never say It don’t do me any good It’s just a waste of time What use is it to you What’s on my mind If it ain’t coming out We’re not going anywhere So why can’t I just tell you that I care [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] What’s wrong with my tongue Th...
