Aspects of living with a disability part 16 - Fear of not being liked ( intellectual)

 Well this one is another unusual one and, it is not my best subject, so you will have to bare with me. 

Fear of not being like intellectually. Well, I do not know what this is but I would assume it is because of the fact that people stare at you. They think you are different. And you cannot communicate properly, and that makes them think that you are weird. And, then it makes people not want to interact with them. But recently, I have noticed that intellectually disabled people do very well in interacting with animals. This has been through my new job at APRADA.

Blue Roo's Midnight at the Cemetery, Friday 15th and 16th November, 2024

Midnight at the cementery was a 18 week voluntary acting program that I was part of for the end of this year. I started with Blue Roo back in August of this year, and to be honest, I wasn't sure if I would continue, but, they surprised me at the end of term party and they offered a mentorship for the second half of next year, which I'm very excirted for!  I will continue with the acting program for next year, but in light of being offered the mentorship I am uncertain at this stage how it will affect things. So, for I've been told so far, the mentorship will go from 12 week but it's only two hours long each week. As for the rest I'll have to keep you updated. The producton of Midnight at the Cementery went off without a hitch. By the end of the program we were visiting the Queensland Multicultural Centre. It was really great to see the show come to live on the big stage. I will admit the weeks leading up to this to me felt a bit slow beacuse I felt like I should hav...

Quest South Brisbane 13th to the 17th of November 2024

 Quest South Brisbane is where I stayed for the direction of the production at QMC, which allowed me to stay up in Brisbane for the two performances of Midnight at the Cementery.  My holiday originally started on Wednesday, when we picked up one of my carers whose name is Sofia from Oxenford, then continuing through to Brisbane, where I aslo met up with a friend by the name of Adrian. We had lunch together at the Riverside cafe in Southbank. After this we got to check in at Quest, where we stayed for five days. My carers did change for once during these days, having Julia for the three first days and Wiesia the last two days, but Sofia for the whole five days. Throughout this time we had numerous rehesals for the Thursday to the Saturday, and then the final performance of the Midnight at the Cementery was on the 16th of November.  I had fun during my time at Quest although I was exhausted on the Friday night, so all I did after the performance was  basically go to be...

Guiding light of Angela's voice

 Angela and I had a verbal fight, but now our future is back to being bright. You may ask what we fought over; the answer is our friendship. I've recently worked on the sequel to the Angela and Murray story, 'What Happened to Katheryn. This story currently has 510 words, without little birds. Recently as of the 24th of January 2023, I had the privilege of being accompanied by Angela and Anika to my psychology. You might wonder what is wrong with me? I have some things going on now, although I prefer not to always show it. When I got the privilege of having Angela accompany me to Psychology, my heart was filled with glee! There are a few reasons this could be; one is that she was previously able to keep my mental health afloat, just like I was in a boat. Why does this fill me with glee? Well, you see, she promised me that she would be there when I was a scare. Angela's voice is like most, although it can sound slightly moist; 6 years ago today, I was finishing a holiday with...
