Well, hello! I'm new here
My name is Jessica. I'm 16, and I'm deaf/hoh. (deaf in one ear, hoh in the other.) I call myself deaf, not hoh. I've been told that I will lose all of my hearing by the time I become an adult - and that's just fine with me!
I am learning ASL, but my skills aren't the best yet. I'm hoping that that will change soon. Currently, my primary forms of communication are writing, e-mail, and texting/IM. I HIGHLY prefer signing to speaking. I HATE voicing; I try to avoid it at all costs if I can. I don't live in an area where there are many d/Deaf people, especially not teens/young people, so it's rather lonely...
I LOVE rabbits, I am a yarn addict (I crochet, and I am learning how to knit), and I love doing all things crafty. I also LOVE word games and languages. As you can probably tell from my username, my favorite foods consist of mints and Oreos!
Well, that's about it, I think. for having me here!
