A Delirious Mind

Don’t you hate it…

..when you haven’t posted for a while and there’s so much you wanted to say but forgot?

I’ll try my best to get back on track! It’s been an insane few months….

I’m looking forward to getting my life back on track.

Funny moment

I needed to call the utilities place for them to turn on water for my new place (I bought a house, didja ya know that?). So I used an internet relay operator, typing to him, instead of using the dumb old TTY. My coworker comes in while I’m making the phone call and starts talking to me. I said to her “I’m sorry, I am on a phone call.” and she gives the typical response which is mouthing the words “OMG Im sorry, I’ll come back later.”

I don’t think she realized the irony of what she just did.

ASL Class

I’ve become some sort of a class clown in my ASL level 2 class. In my class, the teacher is deaf himself, so no talking is allowed, only signing. Sometimes I wonder if I went to a deaf school and understood everything, I’d be a troublemaker. Maybe it’s a good thing that I went to a hearing school and made jokes only when I could (when I understood something) and was percieved as a “nice funny student” as opposed to “disruptive girl who thinks she’s funny all the time…”.

Funny how different situations make me behave differently. Too many times, people ask me “Why are you so quiet today?” since it seems “uncharacteristic” of me. They don’t realize that not understanding everything (or even just some) makes me quiet. Chances are: 1) I’m gonna repeat something someone else already said. 2) I’m gonna misunderstand something, and respond to it, confusing everyone. 3) I’m just gonna say something totally random, confusing (or amusing?) everyone.

Now, I’m sure people are thinking “Oh so THAT’S why she’s so random….”

Quotes from Elayne Boosler

“I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.”

“I’ve never been married, but I tell people I’m divorced so they won’t think something’s wrong with me.”

And my personal fave (that I relate to):
“I’m just a person trapped inside a woman’s body.”

International Mom Texts

Currently, my mom is in France. She got the international plan on her phone so that we can still text each other. It’s like 20-40 cents a text, not too bad. I thought it was pretty amusing when my mom sent me a text saying:

“Hi.”

Think that’s worth 40 cents? However, she beat her own hilarious-ness by her most recent text (WHILE being in Omaha Beach, where the Allies invaded German-occupied France and many Americans were killed):

“Who stars in something about mary guy”

Oh mom how I love thee!
