A Song for the Deaf
October 7, 2008

Recently my esteemed colleague took it upon herself to out me as an (shall we say) ‘appreciator of the hard of hearing’! I feel it is only my duty now, in light of this revelation and the media storm that has erupted in it’s wake, that i should now make a statement of sorts to answer some of the questions many of you no doubt will have.
Yes, It is true that I hold a special place in my heart for the idea of the ‘Beautiful Deaf Girl’. And I’ve made no bones about that fact that i am very open to meeting and being introduced to beautiful deaf girls wherever they may be found. I don’t know what it is but i find the idea of a beautiful deaf girl much more appealing than a simple beautiful hearing girl.
Maybe it’s the suggested mystery involved with conversing with and getting to know a deaf girl. Maybe it’s some kind of repressed childhood memory or something else that causes this fascination. I definitely love signing and find that really interesting on it’s own anyway. I love to watch people sign regardless but if I spy a beautiful girl signing and carrying on a conversation that way, well i have to admit I just find that damn sexy and utterly intriguing.
For the longest time I’ve wanted to learn to sign because I’m just fascinated by the language itself, however it would be pretty pointless for me to learn as I have nobody to actually practice with and I don’t know any non-hearing people anyway. It is very possible that part of the reason I’m interested in learning is so that when that beautiful non-hearing girl does wander into my life I actually stand half a chance of being able to get her attention and chat her up.
Am i weird? Probably yes but not because of this. My interest/obsession with the idea of a fantasy deaf girl may be strange but just as much so as if it were about a hearing girl who was Spanish etc.

My esteemed colleague is currently on ‘Beautiful Deaf Girl Watch’ in the London area so if you happen to be a beautiful deaf girl minding your own business in covent garden or on the tube etc when you’re suddenly accosted by a mental drunk woman who gesticulates at you in an attempt to take your photo and note your particulars…… now you know why!
