Deafness
This post is not to offend people at all, it's based on my views & personal experiences only.
Each person is different.
Each person has different views.

I accept that, of course.
Life would be boring if everyone were the same.
Just because I am deaf, it don't mean I have to be involved in 'deaf world' 100%.
Both worlds are fine.
Will always be involved with 'deaf world' through charity work, of course and seeing my friends.
Someone has told me that I am not proper 'deaf,' I assume the person meant I am not proper involved in 'deaf world', use right BSL and have knowledge about deaf culture.
To me, deafness means loss of hearing.
Yet, when I meet new hearing people, I get asked my name first and no so personal questions, they come later on when they get to know me. That is based on my personal experience.

Get asked about my name later on after a lots of questions.
Why is that?
Do it matter if I am deaf or not?

D/d why do it exist? It still exist even though some people say it don't.
It does cos I've been told that I am not like some deafies, as I am a sign language user I should use proper BSL but I don't, I prefer to use SSE.
Even though some people won't admit it but they do talk about it.
There's no point labelling people D/d. It's sad really.

Since I have not been involved with 'deaf world' much over the summer 2012, some people have talked about me behind my back.
I am fine with that, it is better to know the truth and move on.
I was busy in summer 2012, and till Christmas 2012, I was busy improving my life going on trainings and volunteering for a charity 'Cash for Kids'. Yes, no deaf volunteers but I love working with hearing people as it give me challenges. People, who know me well, knows I love challenges and hard work.
2012 has been a big year for me which I will talk about in my next post soon but I don't think I should be sorry for not getting involved in 'deaf world' much and missing certain events in 2012.
I believe it was the best decisions to miss them.
