Preface: I'm not Deaf, I don't have children who are Deaf/deaf; in fact, I don't have children at all (although, I have an almost-2-years-old d/Deaf nephew). I'm just a 34 year old guy in an Interpreter training program, who took a FASCINATING Deaf History/Deaf Culture class one semester...

Wow, Jillio... my experience has been just the opposite. My receptive skills are MUCH more developed than my expressive. In trying to analyze why, I came up with this rationalization: as a hearing infant, I was subjected to sound and language on the input level from birth. I might not have...

It's in your signature. If you could have ONE superpower, what would you want to have?

Actually, most of the MMOs that I play DO offer their players the ability to pay for multiple months at once, usually for reduced rates. World of Warcraft, for example, has this pricing scheme: $14.99 per month, 1 month at a time $41.97/3 months (or $13.99/month) $77.94/6 months (or...

I've thought that once or twice over the years... and then I think... "You know, going to the movies ONCE, and getting pop corn while I'm there is just about the same price as an entire MONTH's subscription. Basically, it's a $0.50/day habit. I can live with that. :)

Several members of my extended family (including my deaf 1.5 year old nephew) have WS. Admittedly, I didn't know much about it until my nephew was born... but there's a good deal of information out there about it, as I found out when I did my own research.

What aspect of Game Design are you interested in? Technical (coding, graphic design, etc.) or Content (quest writing, etc.)? I worked for Mythic Entertainment for 5 years, where I was a Content Developer writing quests and designing story arcs, etc. I'm happy to share my experiences with...

I also play, although I'm on a bit of a hiatus from that particular game. I don't have as much time to play anymore, so I had to narrow down the number of games that I'm playing. Currently, I'm playing Everquest II, City of Heroes/Villains, and Dark Age of Camelot. :) Sporadically, though...

Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived two sisters, who were as different as night and day.

Let's see how create we can collectively be! The rules are simple: each person writes a sentence that builds on the sentences that come before them, to create a story! A few conditions: A) There must be a minimum of three entries between your own posts, if you decide to post more than...

I'm not 100% sure I understand the question... but if you mean what is the thing I LIKE least about alldeaf.com... I suppose it'd be the fact that I don't get to sign on as often as I'd like. :) New question: If you were to die tomorrow, what one thing would you regret not telling someone...

Mine's a bit of a triple entendre... Gene is my first name Genes also have to do with genetics; something that is "in the genes" would reference something that someone was born with... like (as I believe) my sexuality. And a third (naughty) reason: It sounds like "InTheJeans". :naughty:

Mexican food (burritos, soft tacos, etc.) Who, in your opinion, would be an interesting ADer to get to meet in person? (This needs to be someone you haven't yet met.)

The Dash, which can be found here. How many hours of sleep do you normally get a night?

This was truly one of the worst days of my life. I live and work in the metro DC area. In September 2001, I actually worked IN the city, in Dupont Circle. That particular morning, I was running pretty late for work. It was a friend of mine's birthday, and I remember that I spent a lot of...

::rolls his eyes:: Bitch, please. First of all, gay men are no more "sex obsessed" than their straight counterparts. The difference is, in our relationships, you have two male sex drives in play. So, while I never really like to generalize, let's put things in perspective, shall we? In...

::sigh:: VamPyroX, it's obvious that the whole situation is (and has been) a joke to you... but consider, for just a moment, that it's NOT a joke to some people here. Maybe you don't understand why... maybe you think the whole thing is silly... I don't claim to know what's going on inside...

A) THIS white person (meaning me) does not complain about BET, Ebony, JET, Miss Black America, etc. I'm all for freedom of press, freedom of expression, and for ANY culture/sub-culture having the right to publish magazines, etc. that cater to members (and friends) of their culture. B) Re...

I already responded to your OTHER post where you pretty much say the same thing... but I'll add this: If there are African-Americans out there that would like to see a forum created for them here, I say lobby for it! And for the record, I'm getting SICK of people like you equating "equal...

Well, you just contradicted yourself. If gay people ARE just like everyone else, then we deserve to have a "special interest" section created that caters to our interests just as much as anyone else. Besides, it's not so much that the forum "belongs" to any one group of people... it's merely...
