I was just relating in another thread how my ex-girlfriend just called me a bit ago to tell me that the color of my new bike was ugly and that the gray striped on the seat was hideous...and that she finally found something to say to me that could actually bother me. As it was said, that's why she an ex. Anyway, it got me to thinking that if she couldn't talk, she may have been a prize catch, which brought me to the statement of "Wonder what ever happened to that deaf/mute girl I dated in college".
Okay, there I sit in my Abnormal Psychology class junior year. I look around the room and see this absolute blonde knockout. But what's the deal with her and this older woman next to her and the sign language thing going on? Somehow, I got around to talking to her (well, you could kind of understand the sort of grunting like words she said). She gave me her phone number, which really added to my confusion. She had some sort of device there at home that she was able to know what I was saying and we could converse on the phone to a great extent. She came to my apartment, and all 3 of my roommates were there and a few other people, and I hadn't really filled anyone in, which in retrospect, I should have. She started talking, the way she does, and one of my roommates started his own grunting speech back at her. He thought she was joking around and was giving it back to her. What an uncomfortable scene. So the stereo is on, and she grunts out turn it up and points at the speaker. Again, I'm confused. She starts singing in sign language and she explained to me that if the sound was turned up loud enough, she could feel the vibrations and follow the song. Of course, by this time, my roommates are also singing with their fingers and being the total jagoffs that they could be, given the opportunity. Well, as you have probably guessed, it was all just too much for me to handle and I let the relationship fizzle. I should mention again that this gal was absolutely stunning. She was Miss Deaf New York...pretty sure it was NY...not that I had ever heard of deaf beauty pageants prior to that. The last I saw of her, I was watching TV one day and saw her in a commercial where she had no lines, but just had to be there and look gorgeous. So, finally, I have one of my stories that didn't end up with the girl being a psychopath.
