is anyone out there deaf? do you know ASL?

i've a few questions. keep reading, even if you aren't deaf, maybe you know the answers. is there a livejournal site with an ASL "Sign of the day?" (Like wordoftheday or slithytove's kanji of the day.) i'd love to learn ASL, but don't have the time for a course right now, maybe a sign of the day would help immerse me a tiny bit.

i've also always wondered about a few concepts. are there signs that mean one thing or another depending on context? is there ASL poetry? do the deaf look at the unconscious hand gestures of the hearing and see them as sort of a tourette's syndrome, interpreting the odd twitch or flutter as an involuntary outburst, random ramblings that sometimes coalesce into a single word or phrase?

time

to go to school, to work on my things. school. yum. fun. no time for anything else but school, not even what i'm doing right now, in fact. i'm late! late! already late. in a crit with curt, i told him i wished i had more time, and he worte "more time" on a sticky and gave it to me. "there you go." he said.

anyhow, no one likes negative entries! i will write more later! positive things! things that make you feel happy to be alive! happy to be a person while the sun is shining! happiness like the rantings on a dr. bronner's soap label, all one! all one! all one!
