Rachel's Daily Diary 9 14 pm pdt [ questioning ] Sometimes I know I am asking too many questions but I just can't stop. Tonight I met a sweet man, Rick, on a MOO who has been totally blind since birth. He was such a doll to answer my myriad queries. I've thought about being blind in a spacial sense; I've walked around my house with my eyes closed just to see how well I know it. But I never thought about lifestyle. I had to ask Rick if he liked movies, because when I thought about it, I really didn't know. Musicals are his favorite. I had all sorts of questions about accessability software. I am sure some people are put off by my isatiable curiosity, so I try to be very appreciative of anyone who indulges me. I adored the movie of Six Degrees of Seperation and I want to address the issue of anecdotes. The people that I encounter are more than just stories to me, even if that is how they come across here. I know this is tangental, but I am just filled with so much love for the wonderful people I have met via the net or a chance encounter. I love adding a new life to my universe. * * * two years ago today: "All I want to do is watch movies." one year ago today: I didn't write because I was working on my honors thesis. |
