Indeed. It's why I wanted to take German, too. You can make literally any word you desire. My favorite German word is "Kummerspeck". I know it means "to eat one's feelings" but I prefer the literal translation—"grief bacon".

Also known as the Day of Many Austrian Boners.

I was also in high school at the time. There are many pictures of me in cheap knockoff sweatsuits (because I couldn't afford Juicy Couture, as if those weren't ugly enough), bellbottoms, polyester peasant blouses, and these horrible plastic clogs I wore everywhere. Let us not forget the scourge of low-riding jeans and…

Well. That's one way to avoid tan lines.

Thank you. I have NF2, which was outlined in that link. It's a pain in the ass illness—literally sometimes. The major problem is being ostracized by some of the Deaf Community. The more "militant" types see anyone who wants to hear as...I don't know. A traitor? It's absurd.

I used to be hard of hearing like you, but then I got ill when I was 18 and went completely deaf. Which presents a whole new and fun slew of crap. Neither hearing nor deaf/Deaf people have any idea what to do with me. I know some ASL but not enough to fit in with the Deaf Community and I still speak like a hearing…

I was told that "Brave" is better in the animation department. But that may be due to Merida's insane head of hair.

Thank you! I appreciate that. I'll give it a shot. I'm wary because I've seen animated movies like Frozen and the only one I really enjoyed was "Up". I end up getting frustrated because I feel like I'm missing out on an important element that I can't do anything about (hearing aids and Cochlear implants don't work on…

Yeah but...take away the music. Is it as affecting? What would upset me is not being able to enjoy a good portion of a film like that. For instance, I was very annoyed watching Paranormal Activity. Everyone said it was the scariest thing ever, so of course I had to see it. But no one told me most of the scares are due…

Yes. I see movies at the Regal using those special captioning glasses. I have attempted to sit through musicals and they're just horribly boring for me. I'm just sitting there looking at musical notes in lieu of lyrics. And when the lyrics are included...imagine reading lyrics in your head without knowing the…

Everyone tells me I MUST go see this movie—even though I'm completely deaf, and they know I'm completely deaf. Is Frozen or is Frozen not a musical? That's like telling a paraplegic that they simply MUST try snowboarding. It pisses me off.

All of Nicholas Sparks's novels should be christened "An Attractive White Person Dies of Cancer in North Carolina After Falling in Love With An Equally Attractive White Person"

Not always. Sometimes the pregnancy is a "surprise"—by which I mean if Randy were human, he'd be charged with sexual assault. Or not, if he was wealthy or had "connections". Ugh.

Thank you. She's buried in the yard, in a cookie tin. She was always sniffing at the cookies I baked, so I figured it was a good way to honor her lol

Don't hate the playa, hate the game.

I have an obscure stamp collection. I can't afford to travel very far, so that is how I see the world. It does not give me a "quirky edge". It just means I like stamps. Not every hobby is geared toward making you a Zooey Deschanel-type Manic Pixie Dream Girl, Loveflutter.

I am so sorry that happened to you :( One of your mother's friends...an authority figure, for all intents and purposes. And when your mother didn't believe you...I can't even imagine how that felt.

If I found a purple gun, I would scoop that shit right up. And yes, when I was shopping for a canister of mace, I gravitated right toward the pink one. I like pink.

Stereotypically Hot Dude On Campus: "Hi. I'm Guy."

It's nice to know that the beautiful people *also* compose passive-aggressive tweets definitely about someone in particular but pretending they are just vague missives meant to inspire thought. Celebrities. They're just like us!
