Because I haven't really updated since I got back from holiday over 2 weeks ago:

• I went to Deaf Club with Megan on Friday and it was an absolute baptism of fire. Next time I'm feeling overly confident about how well I am learning sign language I shall recall how absolutely lost I was for the majority of the evening. It was useful though - I learnt

wow - thats awesome about BSL!! My sister signs american sign language and was trying to explain the difference between BSL and ASL - one of them is phonetic? like "butterfly" in BSL is you "buttering bread" and then "flying" as a two part sign? as opposed to making a flapping thing with both hands like ASL? does that sound at all right?

w00t for the pay bonus! always good!

i LOVE how harry potter can win people over!! & its never too late to join the party! :P

Yeah! That's right! The flappy hand thing would actually mean 'bat' in BSL.
I think the main difference is that ASL is so much more one-handed than BSL. Your fingerspelling looks CRAZY to me.

That is so awesome that you wore your HP robes to watch Harry Potter. You would be the kind of friend I would be super into hanging out with in RL, tbh. And haha I'm so bad about not spoiling people, especially when I flail about books and stuff. I have to make an effort to hold my flailing inside haha.

:D Thanks!

It is super hard! But its gonna be totally worth it. I get the impression that if I were to spoil Nina she would just not bother reading the rest of the books.
