A New Friend
Yesterday, I finally hauled my lazy ass off to find out more about learning sign language. I got a number and name for someone in the Society for the Hearing Impaired. It was all rather mysterious - no knowledge of who this person was, what he did, etc..
The phone conversation was very interesting because not only did the guy sound enthusiastic about my not learning sign language and their not holding classes, he was enthusiastic that I should learn the language by making friends with the hearing impaired people he works with, into the deep end.
Anyway,... tarlia ended up meeting me at 2 to collect a book and CD on basic sign language.
We ended up chatting with Te for over 4 hours. We started very prim and properly about sign language. Then when we found out we had a lot in common, many mutual friends, and Te is just so damn interesting and cute, the conversation veered off to everything anything, from wildlife to dogs, to diseases, to hauntings to music and everything else in between. Anyway, he's a dog person just like me; he talks to his dogs the way I talk to mine. He seems to be as batty as we are, if not battier. We even have to same type of phone.
I'd like this to be the start of a nice friendship. I'd make a beeline for him but I think he's gay. Which doesn't matter because I'd like to be friends, but it does put a damper on things IF, further down the line, I decide something else.
In any case, I've already put my mouth in at least twice, and I know tarlia will not let me get away with them....:
"I'm not about to take my top off untill I know you better" ...and
"I'd have to take my top off to show you" springs to mind. Ouch. I think I have a headache.
Oh, I love that rear window stick-on he has. It says "HONK IF YOUR'RE HORNY".
