OK, [livejournal.com profile] canadian_diva and [livejournal.com profile] caitlin45 are my pre-decessors of this meme. I think Caitlin's pal made it! and, I guess Lol um, yeah and that. It's going to be hard for me to fill it in though cos I am an outcast, literally! I don't belong to any one group, go me! :)
1. You can only do this meme if you are legally blind or low vision. Sighties can participate in the comments (see Number Four). Wow, I'm special! :)

2. Write down the name of your eye condition, (and a brief description, if you like, in case people haven't heard of it).
Well I haven't heard of it either, as far as me or my old specialists' know. It is, "Unknown". All I know was that I was blind from birth. The question as to whether I was a fully sighted fetus is debatable. (doctors say it is a genetic disease as both parents are carriers only), but my Dad has always thought i was starved of oxygen during birth (cos Mum was in labour 36 hours with me - over easter too and she's a chocaholic?! I know! :) anyway and for the long-birth reason, i was born with slight ceriblePawsey (excuse spelling)
So yeah, Doctor's didn't want to get their "beep beep"s kicked so they wouldn't have owned up for each other. .. anyway (as previous posts stated) when I was referred to a new specialist this year (cos my other one retired, and I'd been out of the system for about ten years), from looking at my eyes and hearing a brief history, she was leaning toward RP (don't ask me how to spell it in full :) but she was yet to get my records from the Eye&Ear hospital where I use to go. .. so, I don't know! They thought I had Liebers for a while when I was little but they dismissed that diagnosis! so yeah, who knows?! I am just an unknown case!

3. List as many people as you can think of, who share your eye condition. Use LJ tags if they have an LJ, nicknames, real names, whatever. Well, how am I meant to answer this question when I am not sure what I have?! .. I know of a few people with RP. I also know of a couple of others who were blind from birth. I also, don't think I know anybody who's sight hasn't unfortunately changed in their life. Mine hasn't. It's always remained the same. (now you know why I gave a long answer in the previous question!)

4. Encourage your friends to comment and tell you about people who aren't on your list, who every the condition. The theory is that you will meet new people
who have your condition, and, thus, find new people to chat with. OK, comment if you're also a sad sorry sod like me and don't know why you're a blindy! :) cos I will feel better then. we can be outcasts together! :)
5. Pass this on to all your blindie pals. Don't tag them all, but just beg them to do it, and pass it on in turn! Make sure that these directions are pasted
by your friends into their journals, so their friends will know how to do this.
6. Have fun being a blindie! Be proud! ah thanks man! I'm so proud when I have mis-placed something just because I can't see it in my hand the whole time! Lol

Going to parents tonight for tea - yeah chicken schnitsil! told Mum she can't have that and not tell me now! Lol
Shell keeps calling and it makes me not wanna talk when she just doesn't wait and allow me to call her back *grrr
Yesterday i installed Office XP on here cos a few of the documents about the professional writing and editting course that I'm thinking of doing next year, were in msn word format. So the info sessions are on 12th of October from 1 til 2 and also 5 til 6. I asked Dad if he wanted to come then we can do our usual tea afterwoods, but since i know how to get there already it's more just the "having tea out afterwoods" that I asked him this time for! Having gone there for three years, luckily I know how to get there! :) So that will be really cool since it's recognized by publishing companies or something! I use to write so many kids stories; haven't for a while now but I enjoyed it! Also one of my many interests lately was to look into journalism so this may be a good opportunity (though I am unsure what subjects/units are involved yet. but there's apparently ten modules.
OK all for now!
Til Next time, RdFreak
