by Jay's debut novel is out now!

Rated: XGC · Book · Nonsense · #1631888

I THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH SPOONS NOW.

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

The spiritual successor to Modus Operandi, this is a drop box for the slow descent into modern adult life.

There's so much going on with me and so much I don't say. I'll get around to it. This is just my wheel-spinning blog. Who knows when I'll get around to composing myself the way I used to in [mayo.]

I need to start again, right here and right now. It's a new year and a new life for me.

The title will probably change once I'm settled in, but for now...
it's kind of a big issue for me, moving to New Jersey.

The readjusting to the working world trials after trauma actually makes a lot of sense. I actually dealt with waves of panic and PTSD when I resumed working after my work related crash. To this day I still have remnants of that at my current job even though I've been there for two years. I was lucky that my first supervisor was incredibly understanding about my mental health difficulties and gave me some space to deal with it.

Yeah... I post on facebook more than I blog. But, at least I'm using my old blog for this month's poetry! Yay me!

If I had to do 3 years... LOL...

1. Traveled a lot. Around the world and Romania and then some.
2. My sisters and I are three years older. My mother will be 95 in another week, but she isn't old like the three of us.
3. Didn't, don't, won't work. My nerves...
4. I'm on page 4,554+ or something... of my journal. Missed only a few days in 3 years.
5. I've taken thousands of photographs.

Have ordered that Oliver Sacks book, since it looks like a decent window into the world I want to understand better.

Also started some research and just remembered that my sister, of all people, might be a good contact for this, because she works with some Deaf/HH clients in her home health care system. Lots to work with, I think.

I have an older story featuring this character, so I am going to test out a few of the different ways of communication that have been suggested, with this story, and see how it goes over. Should be interesting as I wrote it long enough ago to be a little inaccurate in a few places, anyway.

Thank you, everyone!

Asym gave the answer I'd give if I thought about it for five years and were about twice as smart as I am.

-- Synesthesia is the condition you're referring to. It's an interesting idea, and one I'm using elsewhere, actually.

There is a syndrome where people sense colors through their taste, sound, smell and touch. Maybe the device uses the neuro-mapping for that sensory experience and runs movies directly into the ole cranium. Most of what my kids say though would turn out to be horror movies

This has been really helpful, everyone! I think I have mostly sussed out what I think works best with this character! Thank you all so much for your help, you've given me a lot of ideas! @Brandiwyn🎶

- - it's a thought, re, AI; there are some threads which would weave in with that. asymmetrical, this suggestion actually solves a number of issues in his backstory...

Teerich - 2019

- - empathic abilities aren't precisely what I would best like to include, but even despite that, it's not THAT far off the mark, either. (he is their navigator and I think I have just sussed out why... Like I said, this has been really helpful! Thank you all!)

Teerich - 2019

Firstly, sound is only one of a myriad of imputs that the human brain interprets. If he was born deaf, he will have constructed his own method of communication.

Secondly, have you considered the possiblility of him being an empath, like the Whoopi Goldberg character in later Star Trek series. You could have him choosing not to use his ability, because the constant access to other peoples emotions is unsettling to him.
