I guess I'm new here. I've been a member since 2008 but forgot my password for a long time. Finally figured it out. Anyways, I'm Deaf Ed major at MSU (hearing) but have been signing since about the age of 12, though I was a bit rusty for a while its coming back, and I'm very excited to dive head first into the teaching world next fall with my internship. I just wanted to note though, that I just put up a post regarding MSU's deaf ed program closing and asking for support to protest this decision. On campus we (the deaf ed students) are EXTREMELY upset that MSU is closing not only the deaf ed program but cutting the ASL classes as well, and we need all the support we can get. In a week's time we have already received an immense outpouring from all over the state as well as the country and we're hoping that we will be able to stop this from happening. I'm going to be safe as I am already in the program but there are many others who won't have the opportunity!

If you have any questions either personal or about what is happening at our school feel free to ask. I'm pretty much an open book :) Thanks!

I am interested in someone who is deaf. I believe he is mostly deaf although he has some hearing in his left ear. I am not intentionally seeking out deaf people to teach me sign language. He is actually the first deaf person I've ever met. Anyway, I am on this site hoping to get some insight into how to act around him. I would really hate for him to be thinking "God I hate when people do that!" When I talk too fast or whatever. I met him in a bar. He is a riot. And he's really sweet. But the kicker is, he beat me at pool. I love a guy that can play pool. I've seen him a few times in the last couple weeks. He really gets my dry sense of humor. I learned some signs and the alphabet so that we could at least have basic conversations. Whenever we have the opportunity to sit and chat I end up losing track of time. People always assume that we are "together." I don't even know where I am going with this lol. I just want him to feel comfortable. I have read the "do's and don't" section. I wouldn't throw things to get his attention and I have no interest in learning "dirty" signs. It isn't necessarily a romantic interest. All in all, I just really like his style. ]]> Introduce Yourself jupitersnymph http://www.alldeaf.com/introduce-yourself/72180-i-didnt-realize-such-tight-community.html http://www.alldeaf.com/introduce-yourself/72174-hello.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:43:22 GMT Hi, I'm SMC, and I am struggling to come to grips with my rapid hearing loss. I have a genetic problem that generally strikes the speech ranges, (meaning I can hear a lot of the background noise that most hearing people take for granted and tend to ignore, but I often have a very difficult time hearing or understanding speech), after the age of 30.

My hearing loss didn't hit me until the age of 32 and has progressed rapidly since then. My doctor guesses that I'm at about 70% loss right now.

Music was my life until now. Thankfully my Partner was an ASL interpreter, so He's been helping me learn a new way to communicate.

Hope to make some new friends here! :wave: ]]> Introduce Yourself suitemindcrime http://www.alldeaf.com/introduce-yourself/72174-hello.html http://www.alldeaf.com/introduce-yourself/72167-hi.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:52:16 GMT hey its sam hey its sam ]]> Introduce Yourself dspot32701234 http://www.alldeaf.com/introduce-yourself/72167-hi.html http://www.alldeaf.com/introduce-yourself/72153-hi-all.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:50:55 GMT I'm new to AllDeaf.com. I came across this site from another site with a link and became curious enough to check it out. I actually don't remember now where I was surfing from to get here.

There are interesting topics here I enjoyed reading and talking about.

As for me personally, I am not exactly involved with the deaf community here because I am older and not quite interested in going out to nightclubs all the time. I am not as young as I used to be, but I do try to keep up with the events in the deaf community if I can.

I live in the Kansas City area with my long-time partner. I am actively involved in the Sims 2 community as a modder and enjoy a lot of stuff like movies, books, games, topics like what I saw here and etc.

Hope to enjoy being here. ]]> Introduce Yourself Storme http://www.alldeaf.com/introduce-yourself/72153-hi-all.html http://www.alldeaf.com/introduce-yourself/72131-hey-everyone.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:53:11 GMT Hi. My name is Sam. I'm taking ASL at my college right now. I started taking ASL because I found it interesting (I'm hearing) and now I'm applying for the interpreter programme.
