Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Just got done writing a paper due at noon today. Spent quite a bit of time on it, even though it's short (only a 5-7 pg'er). Had to cause I screwed the last one up a bit, mainly due to procrastinating till the night before.....like tonight.....FUCK!

Anywho, it's on Love being represented as an illness in ancient literature. I'm using Catullus and Medea as examples, blah blah.

Ended with "Maybe in the end the journey and process of being in love outweigh any negatives, and it may indeed be true that it is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all."

eh.....It's cliché'd as fuck, but at 7am after 5 straight hours of work and 13 cups of coffee my brain is tapped the fuck out for making creative and interesting sentences.

Don't even know why I'm tellin y'all this, cuz I like that sentence and don't really plan on changing it.....
Must be the coffee that's talking.
Had too much of it.......or maybe not enough?

I'm tired but my muscles don't hurt at all.

Life is not bad at this point.

Give it a week, it'll turn shitty again. =D

I went to the Chinese restaurant tonight where I got the doom fortune last fall that almost killed me.

I got a good fortune tonight.

I prefer astrology.

I usually get lame fortunes. Like the one that read, "Always open your fortune cookies before you eat them." Lame.

Of course, the last time I had Chinese food, it tried to kill me. That was at the end of August, and I've been scared to go back. Which is really too bad, because I loves me some China Chef Buffet.

Asian food in general is a two-edged sword for me. I love it to pieces, but it frequently contains surprise shrimp, and shrimp has this unpleasant tendency to make me throw up. What doesn't have shrimp in it contains pork, which I love, but which does not love me. Indigestion is a pig's vengeance.

Tonight I had "Tex Mex," which I think is code for "There's so much of it you won't notice it's crap!" It was decently tasty, punctuated by the watery margarita and the incredibly delicious cornmeal spoonbread. I'm spoiled, I guess. I went to Old Town San Diego a few times when I was younger, where they serve real Mexican food, and haven't been the same since.

they make a fridge friendly 12 pack of Arizona iced tea...i'm in love....

I'm obtaining a great deal of fluency of ASL.
But I still make make stupid mistakes.

Like,
I don't know why... but I did something different for "meet-you" and it turned out to be "sex".

The sign for "hungry" is too similar with "horny."

It's cool, I don't know why I forgot sign language. I never really had deaf friends before now. And you know what the saying goes: "Use it, or lose it."

That would be a pretty decent value for the music you're getting if it wasn't for all the repeat tracks on there... I've been wanting to get a hold of Left of the Dial for a while now.

I did not dress up as anything for Halloween, I had to work. Far to tired and broke to think of anything more clever than "Silent Bob" again this year, even though I had a co-worker willing to dress up as Jay (although he did not have to close that night, so he wouldn't have been able to hang around anyway).

What else... oh yeah, my brother works at the same store I do. Unfortunately for him, he was hired on for Seasonal work unlike myself who was hired on as permenant full time, and because the store is not meeting it's corporate set sales goals... seasonal people are getting fired and having their hours cut back severely. So my brother has been home for a nice chunk of the past week downloading God knows what and keeping our second phone line (yes, I'm still on 56k, don't get me started) tied up for hours upon days on end whilst he ponders the future of his employment at the store. As such, I have not been able to get online... FUN.

And for some insane reason, after a month solid of having me mostly work midshifts and closing (afternoons and evenings/nights) they have started me back working a few opening shifts... the store opens at 7 in the morning, requiring openers to get there at 6:30 in the morning, earlier depending on your department and what you do. I am VERY close to just walking up to my department manager and asking him if he's on crack. THIS CLOSE *holds fingers a half inch apart*.

So, how is everyone?

It is possible to make fruedian slips with sign language?

I had posted the pic in the lounge, like last October.

I just went through the ENTIRE month of posts for 10-06 and could find no such picture.

Did you know? Us third world people, we also have internet memes.
Here's one.

It's not scary at all, really.

That is the culmination of the freakiness of the internet. Seriously... The way that woman moved... *shivers*

Well, "meet" is with one finger, right?
Well, "sex" has two fingers instead.

And "horny" is basically "hungry" going a little faster, and with a stiff thumb.

I'm still surprised that those children aren't going to a classroom with ASL students. They would do so much better if they were surrounded by Deaf Culture.

Anyways my Deaf Culture name is the action when people are adjusting their glasses. I wanted it to be the letters "X" and then "E" because that's pretty much "Che" right there. But, you don't name yourself. The Deaf name you.

It happened because my glasses are always slipping so I frequently push them up on my nose again. On days when I forget my glasses, I still do this action. (Old habbits.)

My friend noted this, and that became my name-sign.
Although, I guess you gotta be careful with it. I've poked my eye now and then doing that.

I wanna delete the BBS SOOOO BADDDD.

How bad? If I had to choose between deleting the BBS and eating a baby..... I would do BOTH. And then find whoever would put me in such a cruel conundrum and tie them to an ironing board, leave them in a shed for a week, and then force them to eat their own leg.

Yesterday tried out my brand new slow cooker, put a pork roast & a bunch of fresh veggies into the pot turned it on & 9 hours later had this juicey, fall apart delicious pork dinner.
I often thought mom's pot roasts & stuff were to die for, now I see that having the right "pot" for the job makes a huge difference.

TONIGHT, leftovers mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :)

Doesn't the State or Federal Goverment have programs to help these disabled people?
It has been proven, you help these disabled children when their young & they grow up to be assets to their communities.

We have one interpreter who is their child specific aide, but she often has to leave to help other deaf students at our school. Our school receives all of the local deaf, because we have the most people trained to deal with any sort of disability. We have like 6 interpreters.

;
You say you have 6 trained people Seven, for how many students?
How large an area/population is your school district?

fucking ROCK! I gotta get my hands on summa them!

I think there are two sides to the "deaf culture is best for deaf children" argument. Two of the deaf students I have met have told me that their experience in all-deaf schools actually hindered them. They were both mostly-deaf, and they said that their teachers discouraged them from using their limited hearing ability at all, especially when it came to speaking out loud.

There's also kind of an isolationist aspect to some of the Deaf Culture folks I've encountered. I had to go to a business conference hosted at Gallaudet in the summer of 2006, and the Gallaudet students and staff I encountered were extremely hostile.

The fact is, the majority of the world is hearing, and I think it's a disadvantage to isolate students who are deaf with only other deaf children. They should be encouraged to spend time with other deaf people, because of that sense of community, but they also need to learn to deal with hearing people. I personally don't sign, but I am extremely patient with our one deaf customer here at work, and she with me, whereas the staff handling the conference at Gallaudet brushed off everyone who could not sign (despite the fact that we were paying to be there, which seems pretty rude to me).

Okay, sorry, that was kind of political. Um...puppies?

No, when it turns up on a retro Guitar Hero/Singstar game, that's old.

Of course, I have three 15-20 page research theses, but hey, it's not a test.

I had to write a paper around 6 pages long on sth about La Plata for "Current Cultures and Aesthetics" ; it has to be handwritten.
I'm sick of the National University.
But I learned lots =D, private Universities have been allowed since 1955, and the UNLP rejected the law, because it considered that education should in no way be handled by "a clerical, imperialistic oligarchy".

And I'll have more finals than now in the future.

I was with you all the way. I remembered that in one of my songs (which do to the ban on story threads might be dead) I drew refrence to her because death by fortune cookie is pure rock and roll. I looked up the songs thread and boom, that same date.
