ok i ran a experiment when i was 17

for 7 months i did not talk at all ..........i mean i avoided it at all cost only used it when i had to no other choice

it was to see if it was really needed .........i found out with family and friends it is not and most ppl (that could be i am near the state deaf school) but ppl with out the same culture background it is really hard

so when it counts and it is ppl u know and deal with all the time they can understand u even if tongue tied .....just whistles and hand signs .....or replace the word like they did on smurfs with smurf when u can not get it out ( i use ugh 3 ughs in a row is i love u ) to the ppl it counts they understand the rest of them look at me like a retarded amish person .......personally i find if the worlds thinks i am a idiot i can get alot more done unnoticed and faster (the few that know my real self i help when they ask)

what can i say i get bored and run social experiments now and then
