Yesterday, I took Kitch to....(drum roll, please...Deaf style)....Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Baily Circus..."the greatest show on Earth." That was my surprise for him. Apparently, this is the first time Kitch has ever been to one. According to his recollection, that is. If so, I'm so happy to break his circus virginity. Nonetheless, we had a good time there. We were like...if we have kids, shit, we'll have to buy them something or they'll scream their heads off. So, we were like...ok, we'll have to buy them ONE thing. They can pick any ONE thing they want and that's it. That sounds fair. Things there look expensive but then how often do you go to the circus? Once a year?
I miss going to the circus on a yearly basis. My parents and I would always go there. I loved it. Every year there's always a special show. This year, they had motorcycles going around in this metal sphere. Wow! You have to be fearless to do that kind of shit. They also had all male trapeze show...all of them shirtless. *Is it hot in here?* Anyways, bottom line, Kitch and I enjoyed ourselves and don't mind going back next year. Perhaps a group of us go? See see...
Got up early this morning to do our traditional Easter brunch with 4 other friends. We usually do it on Easter morning but one of our friends is doing internship in another state. She's just in town for this week for her Spring Break. So, we decided to have it early. We have brunch at Cheasapeake Beach. We had a good time until some of us brought up some sensitive subjects. Gosh...drama, drama, go away...come back another day! You mind?!?
One of the topics that was brought up was about hearies correcting Deafies on signs. I said...oh no no no...forbit! (Background on "forbit": Lee Wittig, a drama queen-wannabe, couldn't spell "forbidden" or maybe it was a typo. Since then, Clitch and I have made fun of that and used that with each other. [See, I told you that Clitch is mean!] So...forbit!) Anyways, it's a long story and not gonna get into it. However, I know you Deafies out there would NOT LIKE a hearie correcting your signs. From an interpreter? Still forbit! From a CODA? Oh...dunno, dunno...but most would still...forbit! This one person said...how would I like it if a hearie corrected me on how I pronounced a word? I said fine. That person is hearie and would know how to pronounce it if I pronounced that particular word wrong. I would appreciate the correction...it would help me not look like a fool in the future, right? It doesn't matter that I've known English my whole life...if a hearie corrects me on pronounciation...I would welcome it. Now, if a Deafie corrected me on my pronounciation...I might be hard-headed about it. LOL Kitch and I sometimes do that to each other and we go straight to our computer and look up www.dictionary.com and read the pronounciation. Sometimes he's right...sometimes me...and sometimes either pronounciation is acceptable.
After the brunch, Kitch and I played on those casino games. There's a row of machines to gamble, inside the restaurant. I won $50 bucks! Really, got a total of $60 bucks. I put in $20 and played and played til I was down 10 bucks and then won $50! It is such a good day after all!
Talked with RT via pager/online while on the way home. Talked about several things. Talked about how hearies have emailed RT to ask wtf is "vee". Funny cuz I get emails/IMs from Deafies about that. Yeah, I guess you just have to be there to undy it. But, "vee" will spread throughout the community over time. Even though, in reality, you actually say "ppttt" when veeing. We just say "vee" to exaggerate.
Arrived to Safeway to do our weekly shopping. Discovered that Safeway will be closed Tuesday. Kitch said something about Safeway and Giant unions will meet. Possible strike if no resolutions? Shit!
At the end of my shopping, I was telling RT that some of us still sign "y-e-s", in his style. You know...a foot stomp and signing y-e-s in a very small upward arc and pouty lips. Ofc, he signs that everyday.
Gosh, miss those signs. "Fakey ho"..."alright"...that cheerleading shit...what else? We all still fling our imaginary long hair.
RT, seriously, when the ASP bros get together...you must, must, must go. It's time for us queens to meet! Hope you get your ass down for CobraFest! Wanna see you get fucked up and vomit bratwurts. LOL That'll be a sight! (Stupid Clitch, you influenced me to be mean. Finish!)
All kidding aside...Kitch and I miss RT. And dammit, we will go up to NYC one of these days. Hopefully real soon.
Ok, I better get off and cuddle up with Kitch.
