something really hard to understand on so many levels.

So I've been seeing a guy who is deaf (he hates the term hearing impaired).

He can't hear me but he's an excellent lip reader, so long as I remember to face him when I speak.

He signs, I don't. Forgot all the sign language I knew when I was 6 and took swim lesson from a deaf instructor.

He can't speak clearly but patience is a good thing because if you pay attention you can, what he does say especially when he says very loudly in a quiet movie theater "Bullsh*t!" like when we were watching Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.

He's white, very tall, handsome and educated. Me, not white, 5'8, pretty and autodidact despite years in college.

Oh yeah, he's nearly ten years younger than I am. Ha! But I'm the goof who watches anime and cartoon network like it's CNN.

Bad thing about him being 10 years younger - he doesn't know have the music or songs I reference. So I have to take my CD collection over to his place and use his roommate/lazy brother's stereo and crank up the bass do the he can feel the music I'm talking to him about.

Oh, man does he hate Billy Idol. But now he loves Massive Attack and Tears for Fears.

Anyway, uggh...not sure why this even matters but he likes of all things love songs and I detest love songs. So we started this game he picks a song that has lyrics that describe how he feels or what he's thinking. And I do the same.

So he picked the song "Head over heels" and I thought he picked the Go-Go's song. Dating myself here. And no he emails mail the song he's referring to the Tears for Fears version.
So I answered in kind with a Tears for Fears song "Elemental".

This has been going on all day at least when he's not with a client. He googles a lyric then sends them to me and I laugh and send him some wholly unrelated off topic song.
He sends me the lyrics to some love song by Mariah Carey and I send him the lyrics to The Clashes "Lost in the Supermarket".
"I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality"

He LOLs but not really then responds with something funny but sweet like The Beatles "I wanna hold your hand". So I text but how will you sign then?

ROTFLMAO.

So I feel the need to go more outlandish so I respond with the lyrics to Korn's "Make Me Bad".
"I am watching the rise and fall of my salvation.
There's so much sh*t around me.
Such a lack of compassion.
I thought it would be all fun and games (would be fun and games).
Instead it's all the same (it's all the same).
I want something to do.
Need to feel the sickness in you.

All I'll do is look for you.
I know your fix, you need it to
Just to get some sort of attention, attention."

He had no clue what Korn felt like - so I had to go play the song for him tonight after dinner.

Let's just say he actually laughed out loud. Hilarious.

Absolutely hilarious. Good thing he's got a good sense of humor.

So last song tonight - I exposed him to New Order so he picks the song "Bizarre Love Triangle"
"Every time I think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine but it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
While every day my confusion grows
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say"

What will be on tomorrow's playlist?
Perhaps I'll rev him up with some Depeche Mode "Only When I Lose Myself"

It's Only When I Lose Myself in someone else
Then I find myself
I find myself
It's Only When I Lose Myself in someone else
Then I find myself
I find myself
Something beautiful is happening inside for me
Something sensual, it's full of fire and mystery
I feel hypnotized, I feel paralyzed
I have found heaven

There's a thousand reasons
Why I should not spent my time with you
For every reason not to be here I can think of two
Keep me hanging on
Feeling nothing's wrong
Inside your heaven

This guy is priceless. Humor, looks and he cannot hear me curse like a sailor.
