Deaf.
I have aids. If you look at me, we will get along. Obviously, use grammar and enunciate. Raise your voice at me like I'm stupid, we won't get along.
I sign fluently. I use ASL and SEE.
I speak. Oh yeah, I was born and raised in Texas. I ain't never been to Britain. It's the Texas mixed with the "deaf accent" as I call it. I keep getting asked.
NYC has volunteered herself to rescue me at the reunion if needed.
Not quite sure I told her that yet.... Teasing
I speak grudgingly. If I panic, I forget my words and sign. I can't say anything unless I've seen it in sign in my head.
Last thing, ya'll got to learn to give guys like me a second to process. I mean ya'll like entire world. Just because I heard your voice don't quite mean I know what you said... Yet.
