If only my Friday nights were so eventful.
Tonight by Static FM in ASL
This took me like half the song to realize s/he is dead :{ This is so very sad but also so nice at the same time… Makes me want to cry, maybe I’ve just had a long day and I’m a bit of a mush right now… maybe.
Its moments like this that I wish I had a cuddle person.
Don’t get me wrong I appreciate my body for what it does for me but damn g’me a break already.
Knees - please stop popping, snapping and being all achy all the time, I dont want to feel like a member of the elderly community … I like being able to move pain free when I do want to be active.
Eyes - I kinda really need you so focus damnit and I cant get glasses for like … a long time sooo can you please stop making my vision all fuzzy.
Ears - Maybe Im just twisted in the head but I’d like to hear what people say clearly rather than hearing something completely off the wall and clearly not correct, and “Huh” “Wha” “Can you say that again” “I cant hear you” shouldnt be part of my everyday vocab.
Brain - just fuck you.
So, quick back story for those of you that don’t know I am a 21 year old F, hearing (though I can’t hear for ****), was an ASL 4 student until I had to drop b/c of work, some knowledge of Deaf culture but not as much as I’d like.
So … I am all for Deaf pride, like seriously all for it but something that bothers me about overwhelming pride in anything wether that be your age range, ethnicity, Deaf/hearing status, country, etc. I think by seperating and self identifying into so many groups (for ex: hearing, HOH, deaf, Deaf, d/Deaf-mute) only allows more room for hostility twoards one another and just in general drama - I often scroll thru Tumblr and see posts along the lines of “I just HATE Deaf culture, I’m deaf and want to function in hearing society like a normal person”, “I cant see how you could have such profound hearing loss and want to struggle in a world where no one spoke your language, thats weird, I am Deaf and proud” “You just dont understand but I do because Im in both worlds” “Why do they all sound so weird? and if they’re D/deaf why are they trying to TALK to me” of course none of these are actual quotes they are just along the lines of what I see so often on tumblr and where I stand is I am hearing and I love ASL as a language and am seriously interested in learning the culture but I often feel resistance in doing that from people that tell me or post that “Its none of my business” “I should stop trying to learn ASL and leave THEM alone” “stop pretending to care because Im just another ignorant hearing person” … and it gets kinda sad and frustrating and I am very aware that not all people are like this and many D/deaf and HOH people are very willing to share with me their culture and help me better my skills with the language and dont get mad with my continuous questions and trying to figure things out … I just want there to be a HUMAN culture, I so value diversity and differences between people but I hate these lines that seperate us and either bind us to stay in our own groups wether those are real bindings or ones that are percieved culturally.
Does that make any sense?
