I was born on July 5, 1971. It was a complicated birth. . . I couldn't cry , breathe or suck. The doctors thought I would be a vegetable the rest of my life. As a result of all of this , I was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at the age of three a half . I am very physically disabled because of all of this. I can't walk , talk , or feed myself. When I was four years old , I was the Cerebral Palsy Poster child. I went to Day Care for that had disabilities and Early Childhood. Then I went through all of school. When I was in fourth grade , I was put in to a special education class in school. I used to to drool a lot and I had a surgery to stop that. When I was a freshman in high school , I had what looked like seizures but actually it was suicidal attempts. I won the award for the outstanding handicapped citizen for the state of Wisconsin. I went to college and double majored in Data Entry and Accounting. I update telephone directories for a living. I do about twenty to thirty a year. I do it right from my home in Lancaster , Wisconsin USA. I'm twenty-seven years old. I also make and sell my own greeting cards. As I mentioned before , I have had a lot of problems with p and suicide. From 1992 to 1998 I was in counseling and from 1994-96, I was hospitalized seven times because of this. The reason of all of this is because I couldn't cope with having a disability. My family consists of a father , a mother and three brothers. I also have seven nieces and nephews . I collect angels. I'm really involved on the Internet. I'm on about five ListServs, ICQ, AOL Instant Messenger , and mIRC. My ICQ UIN # is 16632777. My screen name for AOL Instant Messenger is KJPink. The servers that I'm usually on on mIRC are StarChat, Sorcery, and Talk City.
