A Formal Introduction

I guess I haven't introduced myself yet! My name's Callie, I'm from Arizona. I'm 20 years old, going to college for sign language interpreting, and I also work part-time at a credit union. I live with my parents, and I have 3 dogs, a cat, 3 tarantulas, and of course, my leopard gecko, Loki. I've posted all over the forums already, but I haven't formally introduced myself, and I feel like now's as good a time as any!

Hey Callie & Loki, welcome to our great community! Hope you enjoy your time here as much as I do. And feel free to ask as many questions as you like. We all love helping out where we can.

Hey I live in Arizona, too! Are you going to go to the reptile show, btw? It's going to be in Tuscon!

Welcome to the forum, too!

Helllo

Thanks for introducing yourself

Wow, sign language interpreting? That's really interesting. I have always loved watching sign language, I really want to learn it I know that American and English sign language is abit different, I don't get why when we both speak in English

hiya Callie



Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself hope you've been enjoying your time on here

HAHA, hello Callie, welcome tot he forum. I know that I will be seeing you around;)

Welcome to the forum! (even though you've been here awhile :P)
Sign language, thats so cool. For a while I tried to self-teach, but I couldn't grasp it XD I do remember most of the alphabet though! :P

I hope your enjoying yourself here! And I hope to see you continue to post around the forum!

Well, welcome to the forum! We're glad to have you.

Whats up fellow arizonan!

Wow sounds like a busy life.

Any how welcome to the forum your gecko is stunning

I was thinking of doing Sign lanuage at one point - maybe one day I shell

American Sign Language is way hard to learn, especially when trying to learn it by yourself! I really love it, but it's a LOT of work. And wow, lots of Arizonans! I am indeed going to the reptile show, next weekend! My friend is searching for a baby ball python, so we're going on Sunday. I definitely love this forum already, so I will be posting more in the future. Tucson is definitely great because it's low humidity, has a huge deaf population, and there are lots of reptile lovers!

hahah wow your town seems perfectly suited to you!! I wish mine was, I hate my town, and I don't really like England.. although I haven't experienced it all yet. I want to move to the US!

I bet it's different.. when I watch the signers at the bottom of some TV shows I get very confused I learnt the ABC in american sign language from a video on youtube so i can do that.. and i can't even remember the english version.

wowoowow! get some photos at the reptile show for us! *me* hahaha!

Haha, I definitely will take photos! The main reason English sign language and American sign language aren't similar is because when Thomas Gallaudet (the man who brought "official" sign language to America) went to England, they wouldn't share their sign language with him. So he went for France instead! I went to London in 2009 and I would just as soon live there, I thought it was GORGEOUS!

not all England is like London.. London is made to look pretty and exciting as it's our capital city I have never been to London and live here! lucky you!

Haha, how funny! I just love big cities, even Phoenix. It's our capital and is GIANT. There are like, 4 or 5 large cities clustered into what is greater Phoenix. And I'm sure not ALL of England is like London, but it's still an interesting place to live! Not at all hot like it is here!
