Weeks and Weeks On End

Life gets busy. Do things with family. Fulfill already established commitments...Time just flies.

Not too excited to write. I like not having an obligation to write, and if I want to write and share, I will, but if not, no worries. I've long been overdue for my "5 Sentences a Day" thing.....which drove me crazy - but the once a week is more manageable. Though, I've just been going, going, going.

Last weekend I went back to Monmouth, to Western, for the Silent Weekend. This was an opportunity for me to brush up on my signing skills, attend cultural workshops about ASL/Deaf Culture, and so on. I had the opportunity to see a handful of people I knew and I was "Hard of Hearing" for the entire weekend I was there. I wore earplugs (on my own accord) to simulate - somewhat - what it's like to live with some degree of hearing loss. The only times I took them out was at night when I had to go to sleep. I have many fun and happy memories from this weekend, though I had a really HARD time adjusting and transitioning back into the hearing world. Still, a week later, I feel kind of awkward - finding myself thinking about how I would describe in sign or how would I communicate this to a Deaf individual, or......

Haven't been doing much other than working, working out, and whatever else comes up. I've had the opportunity to go see several movies lately among which include: Inception, Salt, Charlie St. Cloud, and Sorcerer's Apprentice. I've seen more than that, but those are the most recent ones I remember.

Summer is slowly coming to a close, as will I with this blog, since nobody is commenting, following or reading. Unless I can be convinced otherwise, I'm going to quit blogging. My life has nothing interesting to blog about, and I don't really enjoy it, since I am feeling obligated and semi-forced to write....which I don't like and makes me less inclined to write.

Anywho....not much else has really happened. I sprained my wrist (or so we think) and it still hurts. I somehow or another keep bending it the wrong way, using it, over-using it, and everything else similar to these things. I'll heal, but it feels as if it won't heal or that it'll take "forever" to heal. I'm still working - which probably isn't the best thing for it, but oh well - and life is kind of just in the doldrums for me.

I could say more, but some things are better left unsaid, or, at least, some things should not be shared online....many of the feelings I'm feeling now go very deep into the core of me, touching some VERY sensitive areas in my life that have been scared and wounded by those most "near and dear" to me. It will take quite some time for them to heal, since they are in the most sensitive and vulnerable areas of my heart, and the wounds are VERY deep and were caused by those I thought would never hurt me in that area, but in fact ended up hurting me there....
Worst part is: they don't know fully, and they don't care, at least, from what I've expressed to them. They seem to think they are fully justified in their actions and everything they caused me is not a problem and.......I'm going to stop there. I'm just going to start ranting and whatnot.

And so I close.
