Instead of choosing to be hindered by the perhaps silent or moments that others might describe as "uneasy" we have chosen to share these awkward moments. Embracing them for the life, laughter and bond they can bring to us all. Please feel free to share. Thank you.

Insulting the Deaf

Who: Lindsay, Carmel, and Allison
Where: The living room of 3721 Chestnut Street
When: Friday, May 20th 10:30pm
How: We returned from the Bridge after watching Star Wars: Episode III. Kate asked us how the movie was and we excitedly told her all of the Christian references in the movie. At this point, we noticed several people in the living room watching something on the tv. So we entered. On the couch were J, C (new girl), and on the loveseat was a stranger with black curly hair. They were watching Gilmore Girls with the subtitles on. Allison and I simultaneously asked them why they were watching with subtitles while Carmel exclaimed, "That's really random." All of us were chuckling. Then, J pointed to the stranger and then pointed to her ears, indicating to us that the stranger could not hear. The awkwardness permeated the room and was so thick that you could cut it with a knife. Suddenly, I decided that instead of standing there awkwardly, the best option would be to run. So I pulled a Marla and turned and ran up the stairs without saying a word. Allison and Carmel, supressing their laughter, followed me until we reached the safe haven of my second floor room.
