Halito! I had some time the other day, and I started to feel froggy, so I decided to film some new ASL (American Sign Language) videos. I did a few more of dwight Yoakam's songs, one of Garth Brooks', and even one by Cher. I had a lot of fun in the filming proccess (when I wasn't mad at myself for my mistakes), but had even more fun during the editing. One of my videos, the one for "A Thousand Miles From Nowhere", had a lot of parts where there was music, but no singing. I didn't want it to look stupid with me just standing there doing the sign for "music", so I decided to play with the video editor I have some more. It turned out WAY better than I expected! Here's that video:

Now, from time to time, I take suggestions from friends for songs they want me to try. I never promise anything, but I always listen to the song and try to perform the ASL if it's at all possible. If you want to get updates on new ASL videos from me faster, here's the link to my channel. You can subscribe to me, or just have some fun and browse through the videos.

I'm currently working on more songs by translating them and will post more videos as I remember to. Hope everyone's summer is fun, but not too hot! Chi pisa lachike! See you later!

Answering Questions for Mr. Valance
Mr. Valance tagged me, so I have to answer these questions. Ia li! (Here I go!)
What is the best thing about where you live?
Well, there is a town (where the college is at), but there's a lot of open country round here. The best part is waking up in the morning and seeing the early golden sunshine spilling out over the green pastures filled with fog.
If you could be anyone you wanted to be, other than yourself, who would you be?
I'd have to be a sign language interpreter for some of my favorite singers.
What is your favorite item of clothing?
Without a doubt, it'd have to be my boots. I'm a cowgirl at heart, and boots are ALWAYS going to be high fashion!
Who, or what, inspires you the most?
Dwight Yoakam, he's a great singer and actor. He is so true to himself and where he's from. He does music his way, whether others like it or not. His music has allowed for a lot of sign language practice for me.
Do you use public transport?
If I have to, yes, but I try to walk as far as I can.
What is most likely to set off the fire alarm at home?
Well, just about anything I guess, we used to use the fire alarm as a timer: when it goes off, supper's ready!
What do you do to stay healthy?
Do what you like. I like sign language, archery, and crafts. I believe that when you have things you enjoy doing, you are more likely to have a healthier life.
If you could pass one new law, what would it be?
I would make honesty the law of the land, like the Native Americans practiced. That old saying of "My word is my bond".
Pondering about uniforms, as I sometimes do, is there a uniform that grabs your attention?
Navy uniforms from the World War II time frame, like what Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra wore in "Anchors Aweigh".
If you had to choose between who you love and what you love doing, what would win?
What I love doing, because sign language is my thing. I always worry that the man I "love" would ask me not to do ASL, and that would be a horrible existence for me.
What is your best time of day?
The morning is prettiest, but I get most of my work done of an evening.

Imagine!
So, I was writing an essay for my Comp 2 class over Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail". The entire time I wrote it, I had the song "Imagine" stuck in my head. After I finished typing the essay, I got up and devoted about an hour to translating the song into ASL (American Sign Language), shooting the video, and then editing it. More videos should come when I find more time. Remember, no on has to do EVERYTHING, but everyone has to do SOMETHING. What's your GREEN DOT?
