Adventures of Hearing Girl: the SHY story...

[maeveenroute]

In honor of tomorrow (Deaf Day at Robin Hood Faire), I give you a slice of life from high school. Some of you have heard this story before, but it's the story of how my mom tried to introduce me to a Deaf idol of mine. I originally wrote this in high school, and I'm not going to re-write it now, so forgive the slightly anachronistic details. ;c

Ahhh, I feel like a complete creeper because I was Googling Lauren Ridloff's name and came across this entry. I didn't meet her per se - she was on stage at a deaf comedy jam with her husband and at the time I hardly knew any ASL, but I feel like I don't know enough still! I'm into my second semester taking it and I'm still so slow at signing and at comprehending. I'm wondering how your first learning experiences were like! I'm so scared of interacting with deaf people because I am really shy and I think I suck lol
