I am curious if you (pek1) talk the same way you type in the forum?
Do you mean as articulate? Yes.

You people! I didn't literally mean that I have that article of clothing, but then again, y'all knew that, right? I was just trying to emphasize to Pek that out here we can go motorcycling (triking in our case) dang near year around.
Carry on, carry on, folks. :Oops:
Gally is best choice for you, would help to improve the ASL skills and understandable of deaf culture, plus you wouldn't be alone, it means that deaf people who is alone and usually rare to meet or communicate with other deaf people.
I picked Gally for some reason, I had some issues at public high school and never wanted to be hapen again., plus they offered my major too.
I know, Tousi. I thought I'd grab ahold of what you said and run with it. Now, if you had said that you bike wearing nothing but a g-string, I most definately want to see this, as I'm sure jillio would, too!
Lol, our "motorcycle" (trike) is doing great and since I'm in Southern California, sometimes in a loincloth (kidding), we can use it dang near every day of the year. Thanks for asking.
Tousi in a loincloth???? Dang!! I've been away from AD too long!
I can't really offer any advise as I'm not from the US, but you can always throw the lot in, pack your pup in your luggage and head out to the wide open spaces of our vineyard here in Australia. We are always looking for someone with clean feet willing to stomp our grapes for us. You could borrow Tousi's loincloth - it would be perfect for the job.

something i'd say now, so i know i wont be wishing id' never told you the truth,
its that if you go to gally, it will be hard, awkward, unnerving (but again i dont know how good you sign and yet you seem to know some ASL)
yeah, it will be a bit of a shock I would say, and that coming from me, I would be too, but yeah my dream is to go there someday, only got one life., and i arent gonna allow the tall poppy sydrome here in NZ slash me down, never i am an academic and I intend to be no matter what anty one says. Goes the same to you, just go in and expect the worse yet also expect yourself to get used to it as they will too, and im pretty sure it will be sweet after the intial rough tumblings.
Cheers
Oh, gosh, Kangy, you're a sight for sore eyes! So glad to see you here! May you continue to be blessed with bumper crops!
Don't be a stranger now, ya hear!?
Awww Tousi, ever so sweet aint ye? Thanks for the welcome and for the blessing of bumper crops. We are battling on and just hoping for rain sometime soon! Hope all's well with you.
Ooops sorry Pek... as for being scared of snakes - won't that help you stomp the grapes faster???
Kangaroo
Thanks, Grummer, for being honest with me. I appreciate it! Um, another qeustion, what's the "tall poppy syndrome?"
Yeah? But I didn't notice my major during the summer when I looked, unless I didn't look very hard (probably). My major is communication studies and am hoping to go to law school when completed.
Yeah!! I don't know if Gally offers law school or not sure.
Good luck with your transfer, plus sorry about not reply for long time.
Hi, Pete:
I'm in college now. It can be hard to meet people and make new friends. I was lucky because my roommate during my first year was my best friend from high school (she's hearing). But I didn't want her to be my only friend.
During our first week of school we had a party in our room and invited everyone. We bought a ton of snacks and gave out silly toys as party favors, which everyone really liked. I also joined a running club and a soccer team alone and volunteered at the Humane Society. That was hard because everyone was hearing and no one knew ASL, but sports and animals are good ways to make things equal. And there is not a lot of talking when you are running hard! Every time I saw a notice about a party, I went. Sometimes I went with a friend and sometimes alone.
I just had to be ok with being alone, at times, and having to work to be understood and understanding others. I also had to be ok with taking the risk that I would look stupid or foolish. But I realized that most people were friendly and also wanted friends. I never had a problem with people being mean. Sometimes they weren't friendly and most had some weird ideas about HoH/deaf, but that was because they didn't know better. A lot of them turned out to be very interested in ASL and wanted to learn a few signs. I hope you find some more friends soon!
