I was acting very strange here, last night.

I have 'The Ghost'. He's a part of me, so he is always by my side! :)

Today I wrote a text to wrongplanet about the world's most energy efficient, environmentally friendly building in the world (Pearl River Tower) in Guangzhou China. But the computer crashed and I lost the text. Maybe tomorrow I will give another try. Also I watched "The Green Hornet" which is very fun to watch. :)

I'm trying to learn American Sign Language (ASL) and I'm having a lot of fun doing so! :)

I like the music of Shinichi Osawa.

Ooh, that's awesome. :o You should post a video introduction of yourself. 8) Do you know any signers IRL?

Thanks! I plan on making videos of myself signing sometime in the near future, but I'd like to keep practicing for a little while first. :wink: One of my closest friends is going to college to become a sign interpreter, so I can practice with her.

Then today my mom came home from work and told me that one of her coworker's daughters is taking ASL classes. One of her assignments was to wear special earplugs that made her "deaf" and she was only allowed to communicate via signing for the whole weekend. My mom said that I'd probably enjoy doing that, so that's what made me want to start learning. I'm glad I began looking into it because I really enjoy it.

Sweet, you'll have to post those videos here on WP once you make them. :) I've always wanted to learn a sign language, but it's not very useful unless you know deaf people with which to communicate, of which I know none. :P That would be a fun assignment. I've never been immersed in any of the languages I've studied, not even had a chance to speak any of them in person, so I don't know how well I'd do with something like that. :oops:

I will. Yeah, it's a shame that I don't know any people in real life who are deaf, because I would love to become immersed in sign language; though I am happy to have a friend who also studies it, so I can't say that I'll never use it! :)

What other languages have you studied, dunbots?

Yeah, that's the biggest downside to sign languages from a language learner's perspective, it's mostly only useful with talking to people in person (or on a video chat), since there are only a handful of movies, no literature of course, and you can't type in it. :P But sign languages are really cool, the signing mode and the grammar of them are both very intriguing to me.

Several handfuls worth. :lol: Learning languages is my hobby and "aspie obsession", so I've studied many for the fun of it. But I'm studying Basque right now (as showcased in my signature) and Latin seriously, meaning I want to be fluent in them both. Hope you have fun with ASL, and hope that you'll get into learning other languages. ;) There are several other aspies here that love languages too. :)

I frequently dream I can fly. Apparently the logical part doesn't quite get turned off though, because it's always more of a labored, wobbly float right above people's heads. Like that's more believable.

Every time I get deja-vu I wonder if we really are in the Matrix.
