I just wanted to vent to people who will understand.
I made plans to go to a club this weekend with two of my Deaf friends. This is a big deal for me because before I learned to sign I couldn't do things like that. I'm sure I don't have to tell you guys that lipreading in a dark noisy bar is impossible. So I made these plans and I was anticipating having a nice, relaxing evening out. But, then I found out one of my friends invited our hearing friend. She's an awesome person and I love hanging out with her, but she doesn't sign at all. I'm really pissed because I'm going to end up interpreting between my Deaf friends and this girl because I'm the best lipreader of the group and I still have residual hearing. I have no problem with hearing people, I'm just mad that I'm going to spend the whole night straining to read lips in a dark, loud club. Sorry if I'm whining. I'm just frustrated and wanted to blow off steam.
