    Hearing-Deaf Etiquette

    LOL! That's OK. I range from fast-talker to mushmouth to looker-away. We've been together five years, and I'm STILL working on these habits! At least I know some sign language now. I hope to take an acutal ASL class soon. We use signed English, but most of HIS friends I've met use ASL...

    Hey, I won't be left out

    Doesn't the venue generally do that? We recently went to see Lewis Black perform. I bought the tickets two months ahead of time, and I called the venue the same day to tell them my BF would need an interpreter. I checked in every few weeks leading up to the show. Everything came off without...

    Hearing-Deaf Etiquette

    I'm hearing, too. My boyfriend and I started out talking online, and he let me know he was deaf. Other than some finger spelling, I didn't know any sign language, and I was comfortable enough with him to say, "I'd love to meet you in person, but I don't know any sign language, like, at all...

    If you could live in any time period, which one and why??

    The 1920s or the 1960s in America. Both time periods were SO culturally rich--not that others weren't. Something about those decades calls to me. I also have a thing for the era of the American Civil War. (Well, the FIRST one. ;) ) Jen M.

    ANY BODY EVER HEARD OF A HOH singer?

    There is also Signmark, I think. (We are not sure whether he does his own vocals, but if he does, he's amazing.) Also, Audiodef, didn't you used to have a roommate (deaf) or a friend who was an opera singer? Jen M.

    ANY BODY EVER HEARD OF A HOH singer?

    I'm sure a lot DO suffer hearing loss. I can tell you that as a formerly avid concert-goer (LOTS of metal concerts!) I have some hearing loss from that. I was always "too cool to wear earplugs" when I went to shows. I also have tinnitus really badly now. LOL! Jen M.

    ANY BODY EVER HEARD OF A HOH singer?

    If you ever feel the need to bust loose, you can always book a studio session with Audiodef! ;) You know you are welcome here any time. I'm sure he'd have some good pointers for you, too. Jen

    Your point of view on marriage. Deaf or hearing?

    I was very lucky today...

    They are also obedient and loyal to a fault. That is how the scumbags are able to train them to be so vicious. They just really want to please their master that much. (The abuse doesn't help, either!) Jen m.

    I was very lucky today...

    I'm glad you and Javier are OK. I hope the owner is fined for not controlling the dogs. You could have been seriously injured! Jen M.

    I don't want to go to Temple today. I feel crummy, and I just want to stay home. :( Jen M.

    Do you think about your mortality?

    They used to make albums, called mourning books. Some people find it morbid, and it's not generally done now, but I think it's kind of cool, personally. Jen M.

    Confession Time :)

    Cheetah, I do my best work under pressure, too. I'll spend time doing due diligence and research, but when it comes down to sitting down and writing the thing, it' s usually late the night before it's due or something crazy like that. People like what I write, though, so there you go. :)...

    Confession Time :)

    I collect Tarot decks, and if I had more money, I'd collect weird, morbid antiquities. Jen M. EDITED: "old antiquities" is redundant. Durp!

    Pics of Your Musical Instruments!!!

    It's a beautiful setup, and Audiodef and I SHARE the studio. It's fun to be working on my art when he's composing, mixing, etc. (Gets crowded sometimes, though! LOL!) Jen M.

    Do you think about your mortality?

    Up until I was about 20, I was terrified of death and dying. Now, I'm not so much scared of death as the "dying" part. ;) The thing that I worry about most is being old, unable to care for myself, and alone at the end. That part is truly worrisome. As of now (I'm in my early 40s,) I'm...
