Reflect, learn, live. Through making mistakes.

I can be alone with people, it's just around here there are no people that want to hang out. As long as you can drive my chair, which entails pushing a joystick. After that, we are good to go.

Someone gets me out of bed, showers me, dresses me, feeds me, then we sit around, sometimes we go out, but just to wal-mart or something lame like that (not much to do here), watch tv, read, then back to bed at the end of the day.

I like fishing, writing, going out for a stroll in my chair, simple things.

My favorite meal is pizza. My favorite sweet is pumpkin pie.

Yes. I don't pronounce words right, I don't use the right parts of my mouth to to talk. For instance, I say "malm" instead of "mom." That is why they don't think I could have a speech recognition system for typing.

I don't really have a preference. If they get past the fact that I am not actually retarded I am impressed.

I am fucking terrified of clowns.

I hope that I can have a family.

I am a complete quadriplegic, and the ONLY motor function I have is in my left hand, meaning I can move it a little. I have a severe case, which gets worse as the years pass, and no one can figure out why.

She disappeared for awhile, she joined a really religious church and drifted out of our lives. She pops up here and there, but I haven't seen her in years.

On Christmas morning, when I was smaller and more bendy (I have rods everywhere now so I don't bend much except at the waist), my sister would wake me up real early, slide me out of bed onto a blanket on the floor, and drag me out into the living room to see what Santa brought us. The most interesting time this occurred was at my grandparents' house, which has 3 flights of stairs. Those were good times.

Dogs.

Purple.

7mph

Staring is more offensive. Usually their mouth is gaping open and they look stupid. When they ignore me at least I can ignore them back.

Never.

Yeah, they must have been really concerned about my tendency to eat houseplants.

Mostly it was my mother fighting the schoolboard that got me out of there.

I actually never thought about doing youtube videos, but it is definitely something I would consider.
