Silent Solidarity

Silent Solidarity: Can you handle it?

No Talking, no signing, no singing, no e-mails, no smoke signals and no Instant Massager. I do this for the people in the world with no voice, specifically for people with disabilities.

Wednesday

I love Wednesdays. They are the middle of the weekJ . My shortest day in terms class and I get to swim. I have time for myself and my friends

Supporting your team or at lest trying to……..

I don’t play sports but I do try to support them. I like hockey the best but can make it through a high School Football game ok. There are some barriers to my team sprite however; I can’t walk up the bleacher very well leading me with not the best vantage point. I have had a time sitting on the bleacher because there is nothing to lean against. I made do, I bring a bleacher set to sit on that has a back and I see at the end of the row near the stairs.

My school played OSU in Hockey. We never sit in the student section because there is never very much room or good seats. Well last night we did because my friend wanted to and I did not mind. We got there close to one hour before the game. The sets were ok, but once the game started everybody stood up and blocked my view. I’m short and I could not see anything and it is hard form me to stand for a long time. I sat most of the game and watched the scoreboard. It was happy doing this it was not that bad.

Until everyone for my friends started worrying about if I was having a good time. They made such a bid deal that I got embarrassed. They moved the whole good all over the stands trying to get me a better seat for the last period of the game. Friends you got to love them. They did this all without my asking or saying a word. I have some great friends, I’m so lucky.
I waited a while to find good friends and now I have the best.

Clinking Friend

I feel too needy and back off because no one likes a clinking friend. I understand it’s hard to balance life right now but I’m trying. I have no clue how to do it through. I have no clue; some days are harder than others. K told me “maybe you are over thinking it a little” Well yea but I all ways do so whats new. “I mean, there are days when I’m so busy I forgot to call or whatever” so its normal then? I don't feel ignored just like I’m a ghost. Its crazy how different one day is to the next.

Long Absences

It is been a while, I have been so sick and busy with school that I have had no energy to think or write about the day. I have had a lot going on so bare with me.

Wall Revised

More bricks to the wall,

elevators don't line up

Heavy doors that are hard for me to push/pull open

no lids for drinks you by at school

1001 Frustrations

There are many things in life that I don’t notice everyday, but then again when those things come in to view. There like a brick wall built by all those little things.

I get my class schedule build not around being able to sleep in, but so I have extra time between classes.
some cracks in the sidewalk seem bigger than a city block
putting on make-up takes like 3 times the normal amount of time
finding nice dress shoes that I can actually wear takes all year
People underestimate me all the time

Comfortable

Don’t you just love a great pair of soft pajama pants or an old warm blanket that smells like every thing you love? That’s what a great friendship is like to me. I have 2 of the greatest friends in the world and one wonderful twin. K and Cole have been great. K is the one person I tell almost everything to sometimes I’m surprised at the things that come out of my mouth when we talk. Sometimes I did not know I felt this was until I’m saying it to her. It’s one of those comfortable parts of our relationship. I love the fact that we respected each other to talk about some pretty personal and hot topic kinds of things. No matter what I know we will answer my call or reply to my e-mail. It makes me feel great and very fortunate to have found someone like K and Cole as well as being heather’s twin.
