Review – Harp

So I got messaged on Facebook and asked if I wanted to do a book review. I would get an e-copy of the book and in return I would give a review about it.
So the back story of the book, its a story about love, long and coming of age in the idealistic India of the late 1960s,  Harp follows three protagonists—a young man searching for himself in a Europe-less-travelled; a girl from whom music is the ultimate calling; and a woman who loved and lost much before she was able to comprehend the meaning of either.  In the zeitgeist setting of the 60s, Harp narrates a story about the journeys humans feel compelled to make, often across the globe, to fulfil that most private of quests — to figure out their own true identity.
Moving through India, Europe and USA, Harp takes its reader through the cultural, sexual, student revolution that was India in the sixties, witnessed by three very different young sets of eyes, each of whom are figuring out for themselves the meaning of life itself.
I didn’t write that bit, it was taken from the email I received and thought it would be much better then what I could write.
Now what I can tell you, my e-copy was really difficult to read. I don’t know whether it was the lay out or that my PDF reader is totally wank. Either way I only got as far as the 7th chapter.
Now it probably would be a great romantic story, but as you are aware. I really cannot stand romance stories and I tried so hard to read it but I just couldn’t get past the 7th chapter.
If you are however interested in romance happening between Asia and Europe please check out the book. You might be able to write something far better then I could.

I’m sorry wonderful person who contacted me but it really wasn’t my thing 😦

Self Made

I wanted a tattoo to recognise my transition and to praise myself for how far I’ve gone, so today I got what I wanted and got “self made” on my fingers.
This was done by Sean from Nine Lives in Hove and I would like to thank him for such wonderful work
The first two images are where he drew the design out, the second two are the outline tattooed on and the last one is the finished piece.

N – Nature

Nature didn’t have any questions or descriptions to it, so for this post I have asked my sister to show some of her photography. I hope you enjoy the photos, please feel free to share this post. For more images of the owls visit Bob’s Buddies UK

M – Mother

The notes for this word were that they wanted to hear from the sass queen herself. So, by the powers of the internet I’ve got my mum to answer some questions people wanted to ask her. Because I asked the same group that gave me the words for the challenge, some of the questions were too inappropriate to put on here and there just wasn’t enough time to have them all. So sorry if your questions didn’t make the cut. But I will try and convince mum to do this again. So without further introduction, here is my mum answering questions.

Them owls though. Like, how many do you have? And to make this a compound question… Do you have a favourite owl?

So far we have 2 owls, one barn owl, one snowy. A rooster and a crow called Russell. Bob is my favourite owl.

Whats your favorite color?

Black
my brother alerts mum that its a shade and not a colour
I don’t give a shit. Black.

What’s the most embarrassing story you have about Tyler?

I can’t think of anything that’s embarrassing, yeah amusing but not embarrassing . I don’t think anyone’s going to believe that , but that’s how it is. Though you could explain to people the story of people thinking we were lesbians in the toilet that time.

Ok so this story goes as followed, when I was 15 I ended up in hospital after an overdose. Whilst we were waiting to be seen by the doctor, I needed a piss and mum had to take me to the toilet. Now my mum also needed to go, so we ended up taking a while. When we both left, a man looked at us and said
“Filthy lesbians, they are even doing it in the hospital”
My mum just looked at him deadpan and replied
“Thanks but that’s my child you are talking about” And we just walked away laughing at how ignorant this twat was.

If Joe has 4 apples and Jack has 5,764 apples, will Joe get away with murder because Jack is a hoarding bastard who can’t share?

Mum laughs Yes.

Tyler’s mum, what’s one of your favorite meals?

Some form of pasta I suppose. I dunno what is my favourite meal? Ok forget that, its got to be pork. Roast dinner.

If you could be in the form of any species of dog, what would you be?

Rottwiller and I can bite the shit out of people, or a Jack Russell and bite the shit out of people and get away with it.

What are your thoughts on the Daddy kink?

Mum asked at this point what a daddy kink was, so I had to explain it to her.
Nah that’s a bit pervy. In fact I wouldn’t want anyone to remind me of my dad.

Tyler: How many people have you been with?
Tylers mum: how many people do you think they have slept with?

I don’t know, its more than double digits anyway, its probably in the triple digits! Is it in the triple digits? I’m sure its not in the quadruple digits. I don’t know. Over 50
I then tell my mum that I stopped counting at 200
Well I did say over 50

Have you ever watched any shock videos like 2girls1cup?

No but I’ve seen similar, not for anything sexual. I’m just a curious person.

Have you ever caught in the act of being with someone?

Yeah!!! Its a bugger when you don’t have curtains in a car.
I’m not even going to lie, I died a little inside when mum said that. I hope you are proud of yourselves internet people

Does size matter?

Depends what we are talking about. If its car yeah, anything else yeah.

Whats your favorite sex position and why?

I don’t have a favourite but I like the surprise

When did you lose your virginity?

I was 17. I was quite impressed William makes a grossed out face Your impressed with that too.

Do you prefer anal or oral?

Oral. Just

How many people have you slept with?

Probably about ten, I’m just in double figures

Do you have any regrets ?

No. Because it wouldn’t lead to what I have now, however I regret stuff I haven’t done.

What’s it like having a child that’s trans?

I have 3 children, one of each. Honestly it doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

Thank you for reading this post. Tomorrow is N for Nature. Keep a look out for it. Please feel free to share and comment.
