  • I thought reading sarcasm was hard enough.

  • Thank you for your explanations.

    "Cool stoof, pretty mooch"

    Oh, your accent is EPIC!

  • Its not just what you say but the way you say it. Love the accent.

  • So have you ever met anyone in real life that you knew online and called them Heather by mistake?

    And if people put emoticons into their messages does Heather read the characters or does she say "Smiley Face" or "Winky Face?"

    Cheers, gonna check out the rest of your videos after work.

  • How did you become blind?

  • my niece who is blind is also on youtube and loves the computer with a passion

  • I love your accent. For some reason it sounds like you look like Scully from X-files. He-he-he.

  • I have much respect for you.

    Turning blind is a great fear in a lot of us, I'm sure, and listening to you talk about this like "it aint no thing" is absolutely fantastic for my fear.

    The brain is an amazing thing, and a recent psychological study showed that a person who turned blind, or lost a leg etc, were just as happy or happier than they were before they got their "disability" -which is why I put it in " " Happiness is the most important thing of it all.

    Thank you for this video.

  • I admit being very ignorant about the topic, so this video was very informative. Great vids, by the way. I have nothing to do tonight so I might spare a couple of hours watching your vids.

  • These 2 comments are for kingray100, by the way

  • AthiestBlindChick thanks for the video. Its inspiring that you made videos on here.

    I will go through your videos and see what your opinions are about God and religion. I am myself an Agnostic and hate the concept of religion taking over peoples' life. Good day.

  • Yeah,God taking over someone's life is soooo horrible.How horrible,right?Going to heaven and following their God(i speak for christianity), they should be ashamed of honoring their creator daily!

    lol.....um no.The concept of "religion" is not a bad thing.

  • I'm sure that you feel this way. Accept that others do not, and do not need to feel like you do.

    Some of us actually do not believe in your god, but you still want to force us to live by your rules. Some of us think for ourselves and don't like ancient ideas dictating our lives.

    You be a mindless puppet, we'll enjoy our freedom from superstition.

  • 1.I'm not a mindless puppet because I'm still a human being who follows God with MY free will.

    2.You call it a superstition because you only hope it is.

    3.We don't force it upon ppl,but we try to educate them on the matter because we believe souls are priceless,and if there is a hell, I wouldn't want anyone to go there,even you.

  • 1. And your religion just happened to be the one your parents, your culture holds to be true/ Ever wondered if you were born in Egypt if you'd still be a christian?

    2. Hope has nothing to do with it. There is no evidence for the existence of any gods, yours included.

    3. You are so deeply immersed in your religion that you do not understand how this religion tries to force its way into secular life. Do some research. Creationism taught as "science", anti gay marriage laws, such as DOMA, etc

  • 3. continued...

    blue laws, provisions that atheists may no hold office in Texas and several other states, the complete and utter failure of the religious bases "abstinence only" sex ed... I could go on, but you get my drift...

    As for your last sentiment, thanks, but you choose to worship a being that according to you has created hell, and is willing to send me there, regardless of my character, just based on whether or not I believe without evidence. That is neither good nor moral.

  • I need to address more things regarding your 3rd point.

    You might think christianity is peaceful, but this is only so in your world. Christianity's history is bloody, and it still is. It isn't a peaceful religion, it only has a very recent and very thin veneer of civilization...

    As for your "even you" remark, what exactly have I done to warrant this remark? Have I killed? Have I raped? Have I done anything evil? No, I just cannot believe. That doesn't make me a bad person.

  • Well you have fallen short of the glory of God,and have sinned(probably daily like most people)Admitting your a sinner is the first step.

    "Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world,and death by sin,and so death passed upon all men,for that they have sinned"Romans 5:12

    And BTW, christianity's history involves most of the world's history,which yes, included war.Thats unavoidable.And christianity isn't violent today or else we'd be killing people right now lol.

  • Christianity isnt violent today?

     Northern Ireland,maybe the bombing has stopped but it can go pear shaped any time.

    Superstitionist muppets of different flavours who killed because their version of god was 'better than' somebody elses.

    Religion poisons fucking everything and stops people like you thinking.............very easily.

  • Religion is man searching for God.Salvation is different.

    God doesn't corrupt anything, but sheds light on the darkness that we create everyday.

  • " god sheds light on the darkness" thats a bit of old flannel if ever I heard it.

    Just what do you mean?( and no scripture ffs)and which of the tens of thousands of man made gods do you mean?

    Because all religion IS darkness and I wish it would just piss off and let the dopier part of mankind wake up!!!

  • Have to say something, b/c after all the well put perfectly said things that "athiestblindchick" has said,u will still choose to be blind & ignore, all the facts she displayed, & continue that she has sinned and probably sins everyday, just b/c she doesn't believe what u believe in. If your religion is the way and the truth, then why is that a Athiest/non-believers can't hold office in Texas, whats the worry , u guys are right afterall, so no need to fear us non believers...right!

  • Uhh, you're right but the concepts of "church" and "mission" are horrible. What she meant was not that God (should he/she/it/they exist) takes over someone's life. She simply meant people telling other people what to believe - which science doesn't. All science says is: Keep religious education inside the church and scientific education in schools. Transfer from one to the another only if requested by the other, but don't missionarize.

  • Actually science is basically assumes it's 100% true,and it's followers act like science is the impeccable God of our world which cannot be wrong about God subjects.Science is saying nowadays:We will do everything we can to dethrone God.Science is good, but it's stepping in the wrong direction.

  • Science never ever assumes it is right. Science is evidence based, if there is enough evidence to support a hypothesis, it is peer reviewed (a very rigorous process) and only if it survives, will it be developed into a theory. It requires no faith, whereas religion only requires faith. Faith is believe without or even despite the evidence...

    As for science going the wrong way, think about that the next time you go to the doctor, turn on your computer, your airconditioning, your car.

  • Nor is science concerned with dethroning your god. What happens is that everywhere god was posited, such as the heavens, life, the universe. science finds only natural processes, no evidence of god. When there is no evidence of a thing, it is safe to assume the null hypothesis. Look this up, it's too complicated to get into here.

    You are destroying your own god, by making claims about it regarding the natural world. When science does not find god where you tell us he is, whose fault is that?

  • Perhaps your relgion should not posit a god where it cannot be found? Make claims that cannot be substantiated?

    As for science being god, I think not. Science is a METHOD, not a being, it is human made and has actually yielded tangible results. Your god hasn't created computers, hasn't sent us to the moon, hasn't come up with cures for tons of diseases, although he does claim to cause them.. Take some college courses on science when you graduate, you'll be surprised how science actually works

  • I don't know what else to say than "No."

    Science even assumes it can never be 100% true, but would you even want to understand that?

    Let me point out again: No scientist has a problem with you being a Christian. Nobody tells you to be an atheist. What seems like an attempt to convert you is actually just pointing out our own opinion, for us and not necessarily for others.

  • Scientists and atheists in general though seem to enjoy mocking Christians and their faith in a Savior,now don't they?And then there are many that will go farther when mocking christians by using science as a tool to weaken their faith.

  • Mocking Christians yes, but not AS scientists. That's a defensive reaction to mission. "we" mock "you" because "you" really believe "you" could "beat" us in our game by logically reasoning to prove God. Besides, saying science is a tool to weaken faith is like saying water is a tool to extinguish fire. Knowledge and faith contradict each other. Knowing is not believing.

  • Before we go on: I do not question your beliefs, neither am I trying to refute them (you defined them as irrefutable). I also expect you not to attack my beliefs. We just wouldn't do it the way the other one would. And science simply evolves based on facts. It's not our "fault" that more and more knowledge eliminates faith.

  • @kinggra100

    Faith is not a reason. Its the act of believing without evidence.

    There is no evidence that a "God" concentrates on faith as you claim.

  • Well unlike GOD, (in religion) Science can at least say it's closer to the truth, after all science has proven lots of things, has done lots of good. If God is powerful as it claims to be, then instead of science coming in and finding cures, treating the sick, helping people live through a disease, why don't God just do all of that, he is God after all.

  • @lilgrlkissesnhugs

    I'm back after a vacation...anyway, if God intervened and cured everyone...then he would be intervening in faith when it came to people's own personal faith.God wants us to retain faith without Him coming down everyday and curing the sick....aka faith without the eyes is strong.

  • Apparent science has done more helping ill people than "God" has.

  • It's sad how someone who is blind has also been blinded spiritually.Somewhere in the bible,it talks about how it'd be better to be blind since there is so much visible evil in the world.Though you may be blind, don't destroy the only relationship you could have with God.

  • This is perhaps the most vile , and misguided, comment that I've read in a while. Invoking a persons disability to push your disgusting desert dogma is pretty low. Your comment is as illogical, as it is unkind, as you first say that it's God who has blinded abc spiritually, then acuse her of destroying her own relationship with God. I realize that you are young, but not so young that such a remark should go unchallenged. I hope that when you mature that you will feel ashamed of yourself. Peace!

  • The Gospel=not a disgusting desrt dogma.

    I don't understand your animosity here,other than your probably a youtube atheist...And if you read closely,I never said God blinded her lol...perhaps you are the blind one^^

    And don't bring age in the equation because that's an old tactic used by atheists who need something to make their opponent seem insignificant..I know plenty of misguided people who are well above your age and beyond.

  • Any religion that is supported by a book that promotes slavery, rape, and the killing of people who have different ideas than your own is disgusting to me.

    How could I use your age to undermine you? You didn't even advance an argument. I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt for your ignorance precisely because you are so young.

    I can not give the same benefit to your parents, however, for raising such a cruel and ignorant young man. Shame on them!

  • Well any person who'd say the bible promotes slavery,rape,ect. is unknowledgable about the bible and has been told lies.Lol, the bible promotes love,forgiveness,and ultimately a relationship with God.Things such as slavery have no relevence because slavery was something that took place back in Old testament days.Also, God never commanded anyone to be a slave lol.Plus, slavery wasn't the kind of slavery you know it as,so wise up.

  • You obviously have not read the bible that well...

    Even Jesus did not object to slavery, telling slaves to serve their master.

    As for slavery in those days, the "good" kind of slavery only applied to Jewish slaves, not to those slaves taken from conquered lands. Owing another human being is never ever acceptable.

    Is the god of the OT the same as the god of the NT? Then genocide etc in the OT was committed by your loving god. Your god doesn't change its mind, so what does that make it?

  • First, Jesus taught about serving masters as mostly a way of life. The point was the God is our master, and that we are his humble servents who want to do His Will.Another example of being humble is that God also talks about being humble under a government...for example, if I thought our president was a horrible president, I would still have to abide by the laws made(unless they dealt with serving God).

  • For example if I hated God, and then I had a family that hated God, and then this family convinced the village around me to hate God and so on, then there would be a lot of people that hate God.Now lets say that these people will never accept God.God would know this,thus,what's the point in living if they are going to live for 75 years hating God and then go to hell in the end?Plus,they would most likely spread in their hating ideaology to others,just simply dragging them down to hell in the end

  • kingray100, do you worship your god on Sunday? Is your god the god of the Bible? Why then do you break one of the 10 commandments? See you in hell.

  • Do not confuse my blindness with my atheism, they are not related.

    You are a sorely misguided kid, thinking because you're "right with god", you have licence to be a nasty little prick. It doesn't work that way, grow up and grow a conscience.

  • Lastly, I dont confuse your blindness with your atheism.I'm saying that God compares us to being in sin, as being blind,and that we would be better off physically blind,since we could avoid all the visible sin.

    Simply because you take things the wrong way,doesn't mean name calling needs to be a counter.You tell me to grow up,but am I the one who's insulting over an online text?

  • @kingray100

    Wait, are you implying a blind person is in favor of god becase they cannot commit vision-related sin? That would be one of the most retarded things I've ever heard.

  • Wow...Where do you read this lol?

    I'm implying that being blind isn't totally horrible since you can't see visible sin.There is no favor of God when discussing stuff like this.

  • "we would be better off physically blind, since we could avoid all the visible sin."

    I don't know how you see it but that sentence does not mean the same as the one you just posted to me.

  • just seen this you motherfucker! You piece a shit sanctimonious cunt (scuse anybody reading this-don't swear much but but this retard takes the biscuit)

    kingray100 CUNT first class

  • If you swear anymore, I might as well consider this spam.Don't you have any good input?No?then why post?Go about your way and mock christians elsewhere,somewhere you don't look like a fool.

  • Consider whatever you want you fundie prick.

    I find you grossly offensive when speaking of ABC's blindness.She's a tough cookie and doesnt need me to speak her mind but i'll fucking say what I like about you mr kill em all and let god sort em out arsehole/puppet/muppet/dickhea­d/shitcunt piece a huan garbage.

    Sweary enough for you?

  • A fundie, huh?Well I honestly find that nothing more than a compliment.Yes, I believe and trust the bible lol...so sue me^^

    Again, you must feel pretty obligated to make yourself seem foolish and try to scare me out of my idealogy by swearing at me lol.The people who refuse to input logic into their comments might think it's interesting, but overall, it's foolish.

  • rockster969 ftw!!

  • you are also very, very scottish.

  • I am legally blind, but not fully, but still use a cane and software to use my computer. I like this general PSA this video had. And just found your site in response to DPRJones nad hope to watch more of your vids. Good work ABC and am anticipating more from your channel.

  • I would replace then with HD eyes.  Booya!

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks for posting this ABC! It answers all the questions I had about the way you experience YouTube, and fortunately, all my videos are talkies anyway. For what it's worth, I never assumed that blind folks were disabled in the long run anyway - you've probably developed compensatory sensory abilities I'll never have! Keep rockin' ABC :-)

  • Hey Miss, I had an Eye injury several monthes ago and I was basically blind for about 4 days. I'm not gonna call you brave or give you a whole lot of props because you got to live life how you live it. However, i think its awesome that you do what you do and you found work arounds for keeping yourself active. When i was blinded i just wandered around in the darkness til they healed.

  • My name is Heather, hehe, too cool. Thank you for posting this video, it is extremely informative and more people need to know about this. From now on I will post a transcript of all of my videos in my side bar to make it a bit easier.

  • How did you go blind?

  • Stem cell deficiency.

  • This was the most interesting and informative video I have seen all day! Very nice!

    Mind you, it was easy for you to beat the other videos I watched today. For example, I saw Geerup's first video on the VenomFangX channel. He talks about the fossil named "Ida" (pronounced "eeda") and basically just makes fun of English accents. He is insane.

    Anyway....  Good video!!

  • LOL Yeah, Geerup is pretty much out there...

    Thanks!

  • You know, I just finished playing Team Fortress 2 and this makes me wonder, with you being blind and scottish, are you related to the Demoman?

  • No, I don't even know Team Fortress 2...

  • It's mostly about shooting, exploding and getting burned alive lots. So imagine a toned down kindergarten.

    And the Demoman is responsible for the exploding parts.HE considers the Loch Ness Monster to behis personal nemesis and lost one of his eyes and both parents (due to self made explosives) during his battles with the fabled beast.

  • :)

    I have known about audio technology since elementary school when I opened one of those programs accidently. I am really glad people are able to find other methods and means to participate online. You are the first person I have encountered who has used the internet with a disability and I think it is something that should be encouraged.

    As a side note, I'm certain you likely use better grammar and spelling than most people who can actually see what they are typing, hahaha.

  • LOL I have heather read what I type, so if I make mistakes, I'll find out...

    There are plenty of people out there with disabilities who use the internet, most of them just don't say they have a disability... If I was not that upfront about it, you would not have known I am blind...

  • Not weird,not blind,but aware.

  • you listen to the video thats cool because im ugly and it wont be a distraction

  • technology is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

    My friend claims being blind is an ADVANTANGE.

    He says you think 3-D. hes blind.

    He's not creey either; although because of his religion. He is smart as hell.

    Wow, You literaly turn me into a lesbian.

    OUCH?

    Actually deaf people get angry a lot though. A lot of people don't understand that ASL is their first language. Youtube CAN be educational.

  • on a related note, check out this video about a blind model

    ya, like.. makes me feel like shit about my lack of accomplishments

    /watch?v=C5rohtMYUSI

  • wow. cool.

    i like your accent, by the way.

  • are you swedish?

  • British

  • scottish?

  • Yep.

  • I had a workmate who used Heather. Hearing her voice again was sort of freaky. The first thing I thought was "wow, that sounds just like a woman I used to work with!"

  • I think you're very cool. :)

  • Interesting.  When I was young I wondered what it "looked" like to go blind (I just thought of it like seeing black.) I think that shows how sight-dependent most of us are. As someone who used to be able to see, I'm sure you have interesting perspectives on the issue, compared to someone born blind.

    So, having watched your video, and having done tech support for my parents, I think it's safe to say that for using the internet, being blind is less of an impairment than being over 50.

  • I'm not prejudice against blind people, I'm prejudice against terribly annoying accents though LOL.

  • peace, thank you for the link to "ouch" It looks interesting. :)

  • Well i think thats awesome, and you seem to be very positive.

    Good luck youtubing and I hope you watch my videos when I make some spoken ones :)

  • Let me know when you do!

  • Now this is Funny with the Heathor voice.

    How did you lose you eye sight?

  • cool video

  • cool video and cool channel! I like your atheist videos, as well.

  • Will you have my babies?

  • Truly awesome accent.

    I always try to code websites with good accessibility in mind.

  • Wow, that was... wow.

    So amazingly cool!

  • Heather is funny :)

    Did she read my colon parentheses smiley face?

  • Yep, I can adjust the lexicon, so :) is read as "smile"

  • I was blind once, I got nerve damage, but then I got it fixed, I had to wear glasses for a couple months, but after that I didn't.

  • You happen to be from Liverpool? One of my classmates is originally from England she talks with just the accent you do

  • No offense, but... you'd think a blind chick would know how to balance the audio better. Your mic is way too quiet. I can turn my headphones up, but then I'll be deaf if I forget to turn them down when I go to another video.

  • you should show yourself on video

  • Is your software able to read "leet"-speak or correct for spelling mistakes?

    Th3n u R trooly 1337

  • Hate to ask a question I'm sure you've been asked a million times already, but considering you used to see, do you dream with imagery or is it sound? Or does it switch back and forth?

  • go atheist blind chick. you rock. A B C I love it. and peace is a great way to end a video.

  • I love your voice, and that accent is so sexy, it is especially cool that you are an atheist, something life altering like the loss of your sight can cause people to snap and start asking god for help, so very cool, you dodged the nutcase bullet.

  • Some times I wish I was blind often I close my eyes while walking or driving its exhilarating not knowing where you're going sometimes.

    I'm a man BTW, don't let that voice trick you although, she does sound very cute for a robot.

    Goodness I just realized that it must be hell if someone cant spell worth a fuck.

    I'm sure you would just ignore them though, they would probably just be some creationist shit head anyhow. Those kind of people can never spell very well anyhow.

  • I LOVED this video. I would like to ask some questions, but not on this crazy YouTube. (By the way - I am a happily married woman, just so you know.) Do you have an e.mail that I could use? Thank you.

  • It's very interesting indeed. I'll subscribe to your videos now. I like your outlook on life. As Charles Darwin said, "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the most responsive to change.

  • In my experience, people who have lost abilities generally have a better outlook on life than the wider population. Most fully able people squander what they have.

    I may sound like an American girl, but I'm actually an Aussie guy.

  • Very cool.

    I'm curious about the (non)image for most of the video, where it seems to be gradations of light. Are you partially sighted, and this is something of an approximation of how/what you see, or are you completely blind?

    Thank you for sharing.

  • I just see light and dark, so the video is a good approximation of my sight...

  • Ah i see, So your eyes are still somewhat photo sensitive, you can tell when a light is on or off. did you know there are some other organisms such as Jellyfishes that have a similar level of photo sensitivity? sorry if that comment sounded werid.

  • your accent is really sweet. I love the image of the blind eye in your videos (witch are really good, so I subscribed immediately as CaptnOrdinary recommended. And Daredevil rocks!

  • i think that this is amazing and your incredibly brave for doing so who would have ever thought that tschnology could help blind people do what we all take for something as simple as the internet massive kudos to you!

    you have definately opened my eyes so thank you but im sure i have so much more to learn

    i hope u have a wonderful day!

    xxoo

  • why is it "incredibly brave" for a blind person to be on youtube? would it be cowardly if they wouldnt?

  • This is amazing!

  • Indeed!

  • Aren't you a little "labeled". I mean, I'm sure you're more than just a blind, atheist woman.

  • heather sounds hot......lol

  • Nice to meet you, you seem to be causing a little stir on YouTube. Making people think is a good thing, good luck to you.

  • Thanks for the informative video. We're polar opposites on the topic of religion, but I'm subscribing because 1) I like exposure to alternative views, and 2) I like your accent. Oh, who am I kidding, it's the I accent, I subscribed for the accent.

  • Amen to that

  • I would have to give or sell away all my video games if I'm blind. :(

  • You're an inspiration to us all! I could swim in your eyes, they're so beautiful!

    By the sound of it, you can see for miles & miles! Wonder if that could be said for most sighted persons?

    Peace, sweetheart.

  • I know you like cdk007 and he does no voiceover. I bet he sends you transcripts. Am I correct?

  • Thank you for posting this! And explaining how you do what you do. I'm watching your coming out video next...

  • Wow, this was a really cool video. I was actually driving down the road the other day and for some reason you crossed my mind. I wondered if you had been blind from birth or if it happened later on, you answered it here. I do think you are an amazing person, alot stronger than I would be if I were to lose my sight. That scares me to even think about... Anyway, I just thought I'd drop in and say hello. Peace to you...

  • You, my friend, are AMAZING. You are so strong and you make an outstanding contribution to the Atheist community here on youtube. I'm glad you made the note about being disabled--it's true that people stereotype anybody with any sort of handicap as leading a "subpar" life. You truly spread light on that issue, and for that I am thankful. I find it's those who have EVERYTHING that are the ones moping around with the "woe is me" attitude.

    Keep it up. Subscribed. You rock.

  • unbelievable. i had no idea that was possible. cool stuff.

  • That's amazing, in a way. lol

    Keep up the good work. ;)

  • wow! guy sound like girls to you. that is gold.

    take care.

    ivan.

  • Your absolutely AWESOME! People like you make me proud to say I'm an Atheist.

  • I think about having red hair a lot...

  • what is the color of nothing?

  • I would have to go with 27!!!!.

    It just has to be!.

    ;p

  • i love how you keep getting asked how you use a computer,despite having made this video,and despite having this video at the top of your videos on your page.

    how do you do it by the way?i kid,i kid!

  • It's telepathy and telekinesis...

    No, that's a lie, I have very sensitive fingers, so I feel my monitor...

    No, I lie, it's voodoo... Evil atheist voodoo! ;)

    Some people are just too dumb, and draw conclusions before checking the facts...

  • Very interesting

  • Cool video Atheistblindchick... ★★★★★

    Katalyzt

  • Scottish accent, so hot. A chick I may have a chance with ! :)

  • With the suave eloquent sentence you wrote it's amazing how they aren't swarming over you.

    *Implied sarcasm*

  • Dude, it was a joke. Im implying that im not the best looking guy. Not only was I making fun of myself, but hinting also at the fact that shes blind and cant see what I look like. So in making fun of my self and lightly making fun of blindness in general, its ok.

  • Loving what you are doing there athest blind chick i am done with people thinking i cant use a computer because i'm partially sighted.

    I am the jemma brown that does guest blogginfg for ouch, do you mind if i mention you to them, they are working on a video project right now and looking for people to be involved!

  • Ah, sure, go right ahead!

  • Scottish accent rock!!

  • is it possible i have seen you in a video asking professor dawkins a question or two? it looked like a question and answer session after a discussion or presentation, apparently somewhere in GB or even in scottland. your voice and the voice of the lady in that video sound quite similar to me. perhaps, it might have been the scottish accent (have to love that one) that fooled me. :)

  • thanks for giving us so many infos. I loved hearing Heather talk...:-) you are very very nice. at least, I like you a lot.

  • your amazin mate !! :P .. i drew a picture to show you how amazin you are :D

    no oj :P :D:D

  • wow, how did you go blind?? im short sighted, and my opticion said it could get alot worse as i get older, but wow, going blind in a giant leap:/

  • I bet typos can be particularly hard on you.

  • Now I have to keep transcripts! Because, well, I have some text videos that are really good, and some planned that will rock everyone's world. Damn you to non-existent hell, atheist blind chick! DAMN YOU TO NON-EXISTENT HELL!

    just kidding, you're cool

  • LOL

    I'm so upset with you right now... First, you expose to the world who I am, and now you're damning me to non-existent hell? What did I ever do to you?!

    *crying*

    Oh, and PM me those texts then, will you?

  • When/if you ask me, I'll provide them

  • Oops, I replied to your comment with the wrong account. When/if you ask me, I'll provide them

  • you still sound cute lol

    though I amazed that you have found a way to go onto the internet like you do!

    so may questions but I am sure I'd have to see to fully get what you do.

    wuvz yaz awesome blind chick!

  • Being blind from birth is one thing, but to be blinded later... One would suppose the boredom to be crushing. I guess you have a lengthy list of podcasts to listen to. One thing i was curious about, do you follow the field of optical prosthetics, and would you get one once it becomes developed enough?

  • Actually, life isn't boring at all, I have too much fun.

    And no, I wouldn't. My eyes are still quite functional underneath my corneas. I'm actually waiting for stem cell research to reach a point where they are able to replace corneas.

  • All the best with that. Presumably you lived with sight long enough that your brain will be able to process visual information again, unlike that blind masseur character in "At First Sight" played by Val Kilmer.

  • Thanks. Even people who have been blind from birth may one day have the ability to see. The brain is an amazing thing, and able to adapt to many types of input. There are people who are able to "see" with their tongue. even though sighted people would probably not experience this as sight.

  • i have a question:

    when you are browsing, on say, youtube, how do you know where everything is, where to click, in other words, how do you navigate?

  • It took me about a to understand YT. It's not blind user friendly and doesn't work as well as other sites with Supernova. I use the tab key to navigate, SN reads all text to me.

    Maybe I'll make a video...

  • And yeah i dont win any awards for my typing/spelling.. lol

  • I was wondering also about the images you use in some of your vids, does a person help you chose a suitable image etc? Ill check out that bbc website now.

  • I have an army of trained monkeys LOL

    Seriously, if you catch a vid of mine without images, I couldn't find anyone to help me out.

  • lol if youve got any of those monkeys going spare it would be useful lol. Glad you have people to help with some of the stuff. I had originaly thought you were born blind n you are blatently more educated or learned than me so i was wonering about how you had come to that. I think you may not realise how intersting you are to probably alot of us. You are a very intelligent individual, certainly a very beautiful person, and not to sound to sucky uppy a very inspring person.
