bloodstainedwings 05-15-2013 12:09 AM

a lolita headband. it just didnt turn out. first it was too short. then i tried to lengthen it, then it looks horrible, now its a hairclip and it looks ok. hopefully the next one will turn out better...i dont have high hopes. but that is what trial and error is for! you win some and you lose some... i think there is still hope for it though... its still super cute... just need to find the right thing to do with it is all... maybe... oh i dont know.... ill work on it tomorrow. for now its bed time.

Hello Hope ^^

nemo.love_22 05-15-2013 12:57 AM

Hi. How are you?

The Wandering Poet 05-15-2013 12:59 AM

I'm alright, yourself?

nemo.love_22 05-15-2013 01:02 AM

That's good. Eh, I'm not sure how I am, honestly. I'm feeling kinda meh at the moment.

The Wandering Poet 05-15-2013 01:17 AM

Aww ^^ *hugs* feel happy soon?

nemo.love_22 05-15-2013 01:18 AM

I feel like the more I try to push myself to be happy, the worse it gets. >.< Doesn't help I'm not quite over the blah stupid thing that happened on Sunday evening.

((I'm also thinking I tried to come back to Mene way too soon.))

The Wandering Poet 05-15-2013 01:21 AM

What happened? :(
Was it the thing you mentioned to be before?

nemo.love_22 05-15-2013 01:23 AM

Basically - as I don't feel like going into it fully so very long story short - I was in a bit of a debate with an old family friend, and I started signing (While I was vocalizing at the same time, mind you) and she goes "Now (insert my name here, which I'm not going to do), I know what mood you're in. I get your mood. You ONLY sign when you're frustrated." And basically her tone of voice made me feel like she NEVER wants me to sign.

Hey... At least I was talking, I don't have to talk. I could turn off my voice and only sign, I was talking out of courtesy to her... It just really upset me. I DO NOT only sign when I'm frustrated. I sign all the time and MOST of the time I do not know that I'm doing it, well I know that I'm doing it, but I sign without being fully aware, if that makes any sense?

Anyways, mom realized how upset it made me... I couldn't stop crying -- and mom talked to dad and dad kinda got on our friend's case about how she needs to be more aware of how her tone affected me and blah blah blah... she apologized to me... although it felt more of an 'I was told off, so here is me saying sorry, I don't mean it though' if that makes sense?

She was supposed to spend the night, but ended up leaving early... And I ended up at a friends house to try to get myself out of the funk... I'm mostly out of it. But it still bothers me. Why can't people just accept that I sign, and get over it?! Gah! D: ((Sorry I kept on saving and realizing there was more to add. xD))

The Wandering Poet 05-15-2013 01:44 AM

Haha that's all good... I think it's really cool that you can sign. I'm very very bad with all body language so that would be nearly impossible for me to learn. I think watching someone sign and talk at the same time would be amazing. That kind of thing would be really useful. I remember 5 years ago at my first job that would have been really helpful o.o

As for that person, I can completely understand how that could hurt you... that's really rude... honestly even if it were true it would likely be due to you "holding back frustration", not "signing because you are upset". It would seem more reasonable that it would occur more if something was on your mind or if you were sleepy.

Her apology was by far not reasonable... she sounds like she's 5 sheesh... it's like when you tell a kid to say sorry and they go "Well SOrry"... =.=

I hope you feel better soon and don't give up on signing ^^

nemo.love_22 05-15-2013 01:56 AM

OH, there is NO way that I'll ever give up on signing, I just hate it when people act like I'm doing something wrong when I am going out of my way to actually verbalize when true sign isn't spoken out loud at all. SEE and PSE are but ASL isn't. Blah! [headdesk] So actually me signing/talking at the same time, because I'm not doing PSE , but it's more part SEE, but not totally... it's totally SCREWING with my grammar structure of true ASL, so that is a huge problem. Gah, I need more signing friends! D: August can't get here fast enough! [yes]

It's not only when I'm tired or frustrated - although I do sign more when I am feeling either of those. (she doesn't see me often, so she doesn't realize how MUCH I sign on my own now - I used to only sign more when I was upset/frustrated or tired, but now it's become more of a second language, and as my 'sister' pointed out that it's in a way like a 1st language for me, even though I didn't grow up with it, because I always resort to sign whenever I'm struggling to express myself verbally. It's weird. Haha! But true.) It's more that I do sign all the time, but I don't always sign around hearing people, rather I try not to, because I get a lot of O.O looks from people, I am used to those, but I don't like people who I have to see often to act like I'm doing something wrong. Blah.

And I agree with you there, I do tend to resort to signing if I'm trying to keep myself from yelling. I 'yell' in sign, soooooo much easier and quieter. >.< LOL! I've been known to sign angrily in ASL at the TV or the computer if I'm watching something that makes me go "What?!" Or also signing to myself, like talking out loud but not spoken verbally. I'm always signing. I sign songs to myself in my head, or out loud - not really out loud but you get what I'm saying right? I listen to Pandora and I sign (not sing... I did not mess up that word. I've had someone thought I was making fun of myself because they thought I meant to type sing instead of sign, but sign is what I mean) along to songs on there that I hear that I know. It makes me laugh. Sometimes I don't realize I'm doing it.

Anyways, I agree, sad thing is - she is my parent's age - in her 50's. [headdesk] Really... now?!

And there is NO way I'll ever quit signing, I'll be living with a deaf roommate, so if those who find my signing uncomfortable... too bad for them, because if they think it's bad now, it'll be getting worse... Because living with a deaf person, full time... [rofl] Yeah... I'll come home having to force myself to vocalize. [XD]

The Wandering Poet 05-15-2013 02:06 AM

Could you explain SEE and PSE a bit? I know what ASL is but not those two.

Ah yeah I refrained from Japanese a lot for the same reason... Americans give me weird looks :(

Angrily signing at the TV/Computer? Oh gosh that would be a wonderful sight... I hate when people scream at the TV/Computer...
Ooh signing to music... that would probably be really good practice! (And to be honest I had to reread the first post a few times to find out you didn't mean sing... I was like "she is using sign constantly maybe she's talking about ASL" XD)

That's no surprise... I find immature older people all the time >.<"

Well at least the perks of living with a deaf person, you don't have to hide embarrassing sounds o.o
Though I'm sure you'll be signing a ton after that experience.

nemo.love_22 05-15-2013 02:13 AM

SEE is Signed Exact English - and it's signed in English word order, and every word is signed.
PSE is Pigin Signed English, and it's spoken in English, and signed in ASL - so basically two languages at the same time.

Although for me, it depends, I don't always hold back - I don't really mind the weird looks.
I just hate it when people tell me to stop though which was this issue.

Oh, yeah - like with Doctor Who - *shakes fist* MOFFAT! D: you mess with my mind and make me sign angrily at my computer screen more often than not... xD HAHAHA! I sign at the computer ALL the time. I rarely talk out loud at them. It makes me laugh as I actually do it now without thinking. I do talk at times out loud to them, but it's rare. [lol] And signing songs is awesome - if you want to see some good signed ASL songs, look up CaptainValor on youtube. :) He has some good ones! =]
(Haha! It could have also been because when I said it before it was out of context so that may have made things harder? *shrug* Not sure though. It kinda made me laugh. But also because sign and sing are so similar too. [yes]? Maybe?)

Yeah -- because of a stupid older person, I am now hesitant to babysit anymore, and I've had to tell them (the people in question) not to ask me to watch their daughter, even though they're my next door neighbors, because I'm freaked of him treating me like I'm not a reliable child watcher... When I am... >.< He's the stupid person who freaked, but that is another story all together. But yes, I agree with you there. Sometimes I totally see it as they are 'older' and therefore more mature, and can do WHATEVER they want to, and treat those who are younger than them as if they're stupid... when in fact some of us are more mature than them! [yes]

Haha, and not have to worry about headphones and music! [lol] Although I'll probably wear headphones more out of habit than anything.
Yeah, I sign a lot now, it'll just be even more than that. [rofl]

The Wandering Poet 05-15-2013 02:34 AM

Well I know there's a lot of behaviors that I've developed because of Japanese class that nobody notices [lol]
Like when someone asks me a question I say "mm" and nod lightly to mean yes. I also tend to "trail off" a lot when saying things.

I haven't seen Doctor Who for at least 15 years ^^" who is Moffat?
I'll look into it ^^

Yeah definitely XD sing is very often mistaken to sign so it's hard to tell. I was like "Why are you singing at people?" [lol]

I think you'd do alright with kids based on what I know. You could go on a little "photography adventure" [lol]
Far too often I find myself thinkin "You're raising your child wrong"... and often times I'm just keeping it to myself..
I've been around an autistic girl for 6 years and after all these years I've learned so much about children through her, even though she's an adult. Too often we force children along instead of letting them just grow. She progressed in the 2 months I was caring for her more than any other time because I guided her instead of forcing her.
I've often told my mom "Kids are a lot smarter than you think, because don't have a box, while you are stuck thinking inside of one.

Oh I would be the same way I get paranoid of disturbing even the bugs outside [rofl]

nemo.love_22 05-15-2013 03:28 AM

Oh, I have behaviors that I've learned through my ASL classes too - I tend to answer most questiosn to me in sign.

Moffat is the current writer. [yes]

Oh, no, no singing going on here. [lol]

See, I know I would be ok.... but because of what happened I'm not comfortable around them anymore.
I have a friend who's a nanny to this two year old and she SWEARS that the kids is HoH, or something along those lines. I'm like "Kim, if his mom says he's ok (which she has), then he's probably ok. You are used to spending time with you god son, who's a genius among kids... stop comparing him to Luke." >.< [headdesk]

The Wandering Poet 05-15-2013 05:24 AM

Oh answering questions in sign that's cool. I'm really amazed that someone can basically "speak two languages at once"

Ooh okay. o.o Sounds like the name of an evil bad guy.

HoH?
Ah I hate when people compare kids. Every kid is good at something.
