Well, to answer your questions:
1. My parents gave me the name Cakey (pronounced 'Khaki,' like the pants) as an acronym for my real name. However, most people pronounce it CAKE-y so it certainly does appear as though I do eat a lot of cake (which I am not opposed to).
2. There is a surprisingly decent sized Deaf community in Charlottesville and being as it is my fourth year living here I have met a large portion of the community, mainly through my ASL courses which have all been taught by Deaf professors. However, due to a conflicting class schedule this semester I have been unable to attend any signing suppers and unfortunately don't have ready access to contact information on the Deaf individuals that I am familiar with.
3. It was pure luck that I stumbled across this website. After not having much luck getting in touch with local Deaf community (I was only able to get 2 Deaf individuals to agree to fill out the survey for me), I resorted to finding online Deaf chatrooms.
4. I can not thank you enough for your wonderful reply! You are such a great help for taking time out of your day to fill this out for me. However, I could really use at least 2 more replies so if anyone has about 20 free minutes to fill this survey out for me I would be MOST appreciative. Again, thank you so much for completing the survey for me!
Cakey J
