Yea... But to be honest (don't tell my Pentecostal mama) if I was true to myself... I'd be so wild it would truly be pitiful (not anything illegal or dangerous). I'd be so crazy that I probably wouldn't recognize my personality anymore... Hell, AD wouldn't be able to contain me even though I...

Yea, I have very low self-esteem and all that crap... Am working on it though. There's really no excuse how anyone looks at it... But sometimes I just have no idea what route to take next mainly because I'm used to being told what to do, when to do it, and how to do it... It's just something...

If it's referring to a formal ceremony that does not have a specific sign... I would do "formal" and "celebration".

Sex is twice down cheek. Metal is "X" under chin moving from under neck, outwards.

Seems like quite a few of us had hearing loss resulting from viruses and/or fevers.

I agree with jiro123. I'm fairly accomodated considering I'm the first deaf student who is demanding these resources.

Although I know it's tough... I'm glad that someone knows how it feels and that I'm not the only one... I'm also trying with the college (public, state-funded university) to get more deaf students in and to hire more transcribers and interpreters as more deaf students come. So I'm starting...

I was raised Pentecostal Holiness and my family is anti-gay... However, I've tried prayer and other options in hopes of ridding myself of gay affections and emotions but it doesn't seem to help. I've often wondered if it's because I didn't trust God enough, had lack of confidence in prayer...

Thank y'all very much... Excuse me for not being so hyper I'm not feeling too well (am normally VERY hyper)... but other than that... *big smile*

Born hearing but became deaf at age 3 as a result of auditory nerve/cochlear damage by Bacterial Meningitis.

Yea I've had a few deaf friends alert me of the "holier-than-thou" deafies... Thanks for the reminder... And you bet I'm more than willing to learn ASL.

As soon as I get check change and a new laptop for school money will be coming your way. I take it that PayPal is quite safe, is that true? I've never had a PP account before.

For those of you involved in the Deaf Community, what is the criteria for those who want to be a part of that community? I'm deaf (well hard-of-hearing according to family and audiologist and school) and want to know if I would be accepted or would it be up to the individual Deafies that I...

ASL and PSE... Voted mixture. When I voice and sign... it leans more toward PSE... when I just sign it leans more towards ASL with some PSE involved.... Growing up in the hearing culture and learning that SEE is just not my personal choice of sign made me realize that I love PSE.

I basically wear mine from the moment I wake up until the moment I go to bed. My family gets annoyed when I don't wear it (only few know first grade basic signs) so I'm practically obligated to wear it until I go to bed. At school, I don't want to miss out on anything... but sometimes when...
