Hello,
I have read some of the threads on this forum, and this seems like one of the best deaf/HH forums. There are a broad selection of topics to check into. I have known about it since last year, but have not had time to actually post until now.
I'll introduce myself. My name is Kyle. I have been completely deaf since losing my hearing to spinal meningitis at age 2... and I am 25 years old and moving to Riverside, CA on May 30-June 1, 2006.
Plus I'm also thinking about attending California State University in Northridge (CSUN) in Fall 2007.
I would love to meet some new deaf/HH/hearing friends when I move to Riverside, CA, this summer. I would prefer if they are near my age (20-30 years old). Just let me know if you're interested in meeting and becoming friends. I am a very athletic person who's into running and swimming and I enjoy going to deaf events.
I'm also searching for a male deaf/HH roommate in Riverside for the start of June 2006. I'm looking up apartment info right now, but if anyone needs or knows someone needing a deaf guy roommate, just let me know. I am also consulting with the Center Of Deafness--Inland Empire (CODIE) advocates about apt info and deaf/HH roommates.
For those of you from there who worry that communication in sign language may be a problem with me, don't worry. I can understand everything just fine (SEE, ASL, PSE, even the British alphabet)--I myself sign PSE.
I look forward to interacting on this forum as well! Just wanted to say hello to everyone here. Have a good day.
Kyle
