Hello everyone! My name is Jennifer, how do you do? :) :dance:
 
Thank you SimonJ :thankyou: and I am sorry to hear Bottesini, whatever is the matter?
 
I have a deep interest in the Deaf community and wish to learn more about the culture :) yourself, if you don't mind my asking?

I have a lot in common with the majority of the regular posters, and I like to interact with people like myself.
 
What caused you to develop an interest in the deaf community?
 
This guy in my middle and high school was hard of hearing and signed. He always seemed sad and left out, which saddened me. During class I would watch the interpreter and his conversations, instead of paying attention to my studies. Naturally, being a kid and all, I got curious and took interest, went to learn a bunch of words in ASL (not knowing at the time ASL has a completely different sentence structure :lol:). My dad also knew how to sign a little (just some of the "inappropriate" words :lol:), so it gave something for himself and myself to bond with. Now, I practice Buddhism and wish to extend the practice of loving-kindness to every living being, to accomplish that, I believe an understanding and active role in all communities is crucial. Also, I would like to make more friends of all sorts :) and invest in a career with the deaf community somehow (I am a helper and love to help any and everyone :D). :lol: Apologies, I say too much often.
 
x3 I don't get it, but that's alright. I've gotta get to bed (work 7-3 tomorrow :( ) but I'm happy I got to meet you two ^_^ I'll be on tomorrow. For now, adieu, goodnight and sleep well :wave:

It's 11am here, so I will wait a while before I sleep, I am cooking a Sunday Roast (Nicole Kidman had ruined that for me) and may sleep this afternoon though. :)
