Why do I feel naughty carrying a bottle of whipped cream to work?
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...

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...

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...

V-pod
I am pretty freaking excited about my “new” old refurbished 3rd generation ipod. I got it mostly to make use of listening exercises and maybe listen to children’s songs. (Come on, you know you would also get excited to listen to “Old McDonalds Had a Farm”)
However, feel free to recommend to me some songs (or pieces, HAPPY, DANNY?!) for me to listen to. Right now, I...

FAQ for the Cochlear Implant (after 8 months)
How come you still can’t hear me? It’s been 8 months.
Some people seem to be under the assumption that “it only takes time” for me to reach the ”guaranteed” end goal of speech discrimination. They don’t realize that it is very difficult to have complete speech discrimination for a person of my age and background hearing loss. It may be possible if I have...
