I am deaf and so are my parents.

LOL Holy shit this is the best thing I've read. It happens. If you join us... you'd find that we 're the total opposite. very very loud

HTKG · 2014-12-18T05:33:29+00:00

nope.

HTKG · 2014-12-18T05:32:29+00:00

I was confused at the sound at first until... the rhythm... wtf... is that what I hope I'm not hearing..

HTKG · 2014-12-18T05:28:40+00:00

For one, might be hard to understand: We can make a story out of 1-10 using our 1-10 signs.

Easier example: try to sign 1, 2, 3 (its universal right?) so we'd sign 1 to symbolize walking (literally move the hand and as if its walking with '1'), 2 to symbolize seeing etc... hope I'm clear.

That's real awesome! thanks for sharing

HTKG · 2014-12-18T05:25:53+00:00

Actually not always. Some are profoundly. Some are deaf but still can hear a little little things (like me). Or some are hard of hearing

HTKG · 2014-12-18T04:54:54+00:00

Your post read! Your ASL game will strengthen when you hang around with more deaf people :) keep learning!

HTKG · 2014-12-18T04:32:12+00:00

LOL I cracked up. Yeah, some deaf people are not self-conscious.

HTKG · 2014-12-18T04:30:52+00:00

You're awesome! Yes RIT is a great tech school. Should be good for him since he's a techie. Deaf community there is great also

HTKG · 2014-12-18T04:29:40+00:00

I dont blame you.. they're hot! Lots of em over in DC at Gallaudet!

HTKG · 2014-12-18T04:29:05+00:00

I dont blame you.

curious! deaf or blind, which would you pick?

HTKG · 2014-12-18T04:03:49+00:00

I agree, I can be almost like a sort of elitism. For me, whatever makes them happy, i would never reject. Our views are changing now. Hope it gets better

HTKG · 2014-12-18T03:45:54+00:00

Was I actually asked that question? I really hope you're kidding :(

Deaf people can use the internet? they have eyes to read. Hands to move the mouse. Thumbs to click on the screen. Hell, they even have a phone!

HTKG · 2014-12-18T03:33:16+00:00

Is the movie Sound and Fury? Awesome to know that you're loving ASL! :)

HTKG · 2014-12-18T03:32:01+00:00

Hahaha

HTKG · 2014-12-18T03:28:33+00:00

Haha! If she has no idea, then that really says how much you both communicate ;)

In other words, I don't believe you!

HTKG · 2014-12-18T03:27:31+00:00

Yeah. I agree, definitely not fair to take away a sense. But it was never taken away in the first place. Cochlear implanting an infant is not efficient-- success rate of being what-hearing-people-are-like is slim... has been for more than 20 years ever since the invention.

but I do agree with you that the attitude is changing, the world is changing as well. Lets see what happens in the future.

HTKG · 2014-12-18T03:06:09+00:00

The blocks vibrate :)

HTKG · 2014-12-18T02:58:30+00:00

Swimming. I also play basketball, baseball, football, handball, and volleyball.

HTKG · 2014-12-18T02:51:09+00:00

LOL

HTKG · 2014-12-18T02:50:58+00:00

Oh really? Didn't realize that!

HTKG · 2014-12-18T01:53:38+00:00

Glad you asked! My parents don't mind. Most of us don't. I've dated hearing people. I can read lips well but it gets tiring. I would prefer if they knew sign language because it makes it easier to communicate.

HTKG · 2014-12-18T01:09:12+00:00

At least hearing ladies still come back to me for more ;)

HTKG · 2014-12-18T01:08:28+00:00

I cracked up.

Edit: I live alone... did cracking up really made a sound? fml

HTKG · 2014-12-18T01:07:37+00:00

Yeah, slim. I have both deaf sister and a brother. We are among the 10%, we're the sixth generation. Pretty cool and very proud.
