Maybe this isn't as serious as some of the things that affect other higher-vibrational people, but I was born with Russel Silver Syndrome, and extremly rare syndrome (only about 12 other people in Canada should have it) that delays the growth spurts of those who have it. I look exactly like a fifteen year old- my body is in normal proportions, I look completly fine, but I am roughly one and a half feet to two feet shorter than most other children my age. I came out lucky, really- other symptoms are usually disproportionate limbs, and sometimes down syndrome, but I had only the delayed growth spurts, but otherwise am completly normal, although I had very bad hearing problems which had to be fixed in a series of surgeries, and few other things, but, despite all that, I look like the average fifteen-year old apart from my short stature. Pardon me, for the waste of topic space, but since this board is for disabilities, I thought I would share this with you, even though its not as critical as what some others experiance.

Hi Nimue,
What a beautiful and unique person you are! I'm so happy that you are alive and honest! Please stay that way forever.
Do you play sports? What's your hobby?

Thank-you for the compliment, Djgirlcherise, it was much appreciated. I do Tae Know Do, which I originally chose to learn for self-defence reasons. I am writing a novel, although I'm at a rather fidgety stage in the process at the moment, and I also write poetry. I rather envy Laurel Chaisson's position in the CNE magazine, and if I could simply think of some sort of article to write, I would love to one day write for CNE, or a similiar magazine, also. What of yourself, Djgirlcherise? Perhaps I am reading into your username too much, but am I right to presume you enjoy music?

Hi Nimue,
Did you feel fidgety when you first wrote this topic? I would use this board to practise. Don't be envious of anyone except your own wonderful self.
I work as a dj, and part-time in an urban lifestyle shop in Vancouver.

No, "fidgety" as in "difficult to articulate". I said the stage in my novel was fidgety because now the plot of the novel must be fully brought into focus. When I said envy, I meant it in a positive way. I admire the position in which Laurel is in, and so I shall strive to reach similiar heights.

What's the climax of the story? What's the ending?
Words are very important to the reader. You used the word envy, but that is not what you meant. I can only get what you create by the words you choose. Use great scrutiny in your choice of words, and the reader will always admire that.
