ahhh so many sentences.

I’m speaking with this one sooo. i’m not going to write all the sentences.

I keep looking off screen b/c the sentences are on the computer monitor.

I’m getting better at remember thing vocabulary but wow, this one was a lot harder for me.

Comments/messages appreciated!

**edit: I used the sign feel instead of the sign like in a few sentences. I’m saying like, and signing feel. i DO know the sign for like, and I guess I just got confused. haha**

This is supposed to be a story about my sibling not going to school and me being jealous about it. I was mainly trying to concentrate on using more body language and facial expressions. I’m still not super comfortable with it, but progress is progress.

“My brother didn’t go to school. He doesn’t feel good. He stay home, sat at the computer, played, internet, emailed his friends. He wants to watch a movie. Mom drove to the video store and gave him one. I think he should go to the doctor. I think so.

Hopefully I did alright. feedback appreciated.

Thank you!

P.S. Daniel is a deaf friend of mine on youtube. He sends me messages telling me how to improve on my signing. One example of what I know i need to improve, is my facial expressions in all these lessons. But for right now i’m just trying to get comfortable with signing.

American Sign Language.  I’ve had CD roms for years, i wanted to learn when I was  younger but never had the patience for it.  I’ve recently become more interested in it again and have been doing an online course.  I love this website, he is very clear in his directions and in explaining things.  It has descriptions, pictures and even videos.  A great way to learn ASL I think.  I have done lessons and then posted on youtube to keep track of my progress and to get some feedback.  Please, if you have any advice or websites of interest let me know!  :]  This is the first video I posted.  Next will be lesson one.

I went to Warped tour in Jacksonville on the 13th and since then have been super busy. Especially with my school deadline coming up pretty quickly, it hasn’t left me with much time to update.

I will write a blog about my Warped Tour experience as soon as possible, including pictures and videos.

I am currently trying to get through my History Mid Terms and I’m about to start my 30 Day Challenge next week. So things will get even busier next month. yay. I love being busy, but I always lose track of time and forget to do simple things, like eat >.< haha.

If you want to learn about internet marketing you should check out the 30 day challenge. It’s completely free and open for anyone of any age or location. This will be my first year trying it so I’ll let ya know how it goes.

Oh!  and I saw Batman: the dark knight on opening night.  The movie was amazing and exceeded my expectations.  Give a ‘real’ review of it later.  But, go see it!

Have a great week everyone, and I’ll write as soon as possible

Haven’t posted in a while.  Been very busy.  School is currently kicking my butt.  Here is a song from A Fine Frenzy, if you haven’t already listened to this girls amazing voice.  This song is for you.  It’s one of my favorites, and it’s very sad and yet, calming. 

Alright.  Enjoy!

I have been extremely busy this week, haven’t had any time to post! I am working on my history class right now, taking a short break before getting back to more outlines. Just wanted to make a quick update.

I have found my colored waxed hemp It makes me so happy! I made a few bracelets and necklaces this week. I must say, they look amazing. I am improving and I love that I can see the progress. I also got the COOLEST bracelet as a late birthday present today. It is the KILLOLA USB bracelet. The bracelet is made by www.aderra.net and it contains the brand new Killola CD [I am the messer] and a few videos and pictures! I love it so so much. I do think that USB bracelets could…and should be a big hit with bigger named bands. They are a great way to promote a CD and they are just fun all around.

Killola is the band I want you guys to hear. Lisa has a very interesting voice and their music just makes you want to get up and dance! This is one of my favorite songs, on acoustic.

and here is a music video :]
