Re: Randomness

Unchallenged is a cool idea. I chose mine because I love that line of the quote and I put it behind my deaf ear as well because even though that is a flaw I have (on some people's minds) I am unique with it and with its shape and everything. I honestly love that I did it and I'm really glad I didn't wait to do it and talk myself out of it.

Re: Randomness

Hey, I'm deaf in one ear too!  My left.  Since I was 3, due to an inner ear infection.  And my ear is actually a little... "unformed".  Not as freaky as Stephen Colbert's deaf right ear that sticks out, just a bit under-developed.  I didn't even notice it until a few years ago.

Re: Randomness

I was born deaf in my right ear and my ear didn't fully form - had plastic surgery when I was 4 to make it appear more "normal" and other reasons. I was insanely self-conscious of it for yers and would not wear a ponytail around most people. Now I dont care and most people dont even notice my ears are different sizes unless I point it out to them. That's kind neat that you have something similar too :-)

Re: Randomness

Yeah, I never noticed it either, until maybe 5 years ago.  I wear my hair very short these days, but I don't think anyone else ever would see a difference.

Re: Randomness

my friend's baby has ears like I've never seen before. they're really kinda beautiful elfen ears smile after reading your posts I'm now wondering if her hearing is OK. her interaction was a little different than babies usually.

I love those tattoo ideas smile do you  have more?

Re: Randomness

I've been stressing about my thesis and last internship so much, I get frozen when I actually try to do the thesis. I'm so screwed! I have a clear idea of what I want it to be but I just can't get it down on paper. I just pace out and can't even breathe. Then I just feel like I need a hug and someone telling me it's going to be fine and there's no sense to stress about it. I get this online from friends but I really need one live. but noup. facebook has made it possible for all these socially awkward finns to have their social life online. I don't think any of them could even give a hug anymore. just a thumb up and *hug* now I see how annoying that is. I just want to go around giving my friends real hugs now.

Re: Randomness

Actually one of the managers "lured" me into doing an extra shift last night ... and I was stupid enough to agree on it! LOL
But oh well, it's over now and I am officially on vacation! \o/
I've been at Amazon for nine months now, but sometimes it feels like forever and then there are times I feel like I only started yesterday. I am not travelling anywhere, but I'll use the free time to get my new apartment ready. There are still some things missing, mostly for the kitchen. And I LOVE my new livingroom!

Re: Randomness

That's cool, Anne.  I'm going on vacation starting Thursday, myself.  I'm not going anywhere either.  Just need a break.  I'll be doing stuff around the house too.

Re: Randomness

While we're talking about vacation, I'm going to be in Canada from Sep 15 to 29. I presume that I will be able to sporadically go online if there's wireless at the hotels, I probably won't be around every day. Let's hope nothing bad goes down in the website world during that time. smile

Hope you two enjoy your well earned vacations!

Have fun in Canada! My brother & sister-in-law will be there too smile  I've always wanted to go to Vancouver! 

I could so use a four day weekend, a three day weekend is nice but a four day weekend would be complete bliss!

Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa, Algonquin, Muskokas, Toronto in two weeks.

Thanks, Lindsey. I'm sure Vancouver is great too, but so far away from Europe!

Re: Randomness

I've only been to Windsor, Stratford and the Niagara area, but I loved every minute I spent in Canada.  Except maybe waiting at the border to come back into the US.  Seemed to take forever.  Enjoy.  :-)
