this thing on?

I've been told there's this whole journal system to talk to people here. That's probably a good thing since you're all loud and my roommate is a joke. It was also 'suggested' that I introduce myself on here.

So hi. I'm Matt Murdock. What else you want to know?

EDIT: it might be a good idea if I also add that I'm blind.

I'm a joke now? Seriously? Screw you.

No, us being roommates is a joke. One we're both the butt of.

[x-artie.livejournal.com]

Shit yeah. I can't even talk to you without a text to speech program.

Also, don't touch my stuff.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Which is LAME.

I'll touch it if I want to. I'll also put it back.

You're telling me. The robot voice doesn't do emotion, pauses in weird spots and it's not on my phone or anything.

It's better than nothing.

[x-artie.livejournal.com]

But not much. Dude, why do you think I don't use it?

Because most people can see your images?

[x-artie.livejournal.com]

No, because it sucks. You try explaining to the guy at the coffee shop that you're not going to kill him and his family (because, obvs, you're an evil mutant) while he's trying to hide under the counter or lock himself in the cool room and failing to make a coffee using the images he's so shit scared of . Projecting images isn't the be all and end all of communicating.

(Also, did you know that some people are completely and utterly retarded when it comes to images and you're like, showing them a picture and then you have to spend five minutes explaining what you were talking about because they just don't get it.)

You ever have someone put mustard in your drink because they thought it'd be funny?

Okay, so it sucks. Write it down. Use sign language. I dunno.

(I did not, but can't say that surprises me. Most people are not that smart.)

[x-artie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, actually - I go to a Deaf school half the time, so I can actually speak my language and yeah, some of them are kind of resentful of the weird mutant kid. In fact, some of them behave a lot like Jared, followed by trying to hit me.

Sounds a lot like the people who think I should be in special ed and not in their classrooms. Or anywhere. Jared's not the first asshat or the most original. He's just the one here.

[x-artie.livejournal.com]

We could take him, you know? I mean, sure, he's all emo because he has this like, forcefield that stops things touching his skin but we could work around that.

I'm good.

[x-artie.livejournal.com]

....okay.

Right now, there's no sense in doing anything. And if I did...I wouldn't drag you with me.
