Hi! Interesting introduction. What gaming do you do? I play Unreal Tournament with friends on two networked computers. During the summer we spent too much time with the sniper rifle and the short yellow gun (I can't remember what it is called)
. We thought we would have to drop out of college when classes started, but we stopped finally. I tried WoW, but it was boring and required too much time.
Good luck with ASL and lip reading. Lip reading is not the magic that many think it is. I tell people that everything has to be perfect...and then I will still just guess.
(I am HoH/deaf with two HAs and have always attended hearing schools). But ASL is wonderful, and I hope you feel the same when you learn it.
