*a-hem*
My name is Sarah, I'm sixteen years old (but I'm turning seventeen reeeeally soon), I have temporal lobe epilepsy, and I joined this website to meet other people with the same problems as me. I'm really confused right now in this part of my life, my health isn't the best, and I don't know if the symptoms I have are normal for my condition or if they're part of something completely unrelated, so I thought maybe finding other people to talk to about it would help me, especially since it's time in my life to start thinking about college and living on my own, so I'll need to know how to take care of myself. It doesn't hinder my everyday life too badly, but certain things like heat or physical exertion wipe me out completely. Thus my muscles are really weakened. Other than all that, I actually don't understand my condition very much... But this probably isn't the place to go into that detail, I'll save that for a different post.

A little bit about me: I love languages (though the only ones I'm conversational in are English and French, I plan on learning Spanish and German and Hebrew this summer, next year, and in college--my goal is actually to try and learn every language in existence, and even though I know that's not possible to do in one short lifetime, they say you'll hit excellence if you aim for perfection!). I want to be a translator when I grow up. I practice right now on my favorite French songs, on lyrictranslate.com.

I also love to draw, and I might try a career in art if I fail in languages. I already do some drawing requests every now and then for money. I have a deviantART account, Balancesplashrhyme.

In my free time, I translate, draw, play on the piano, and play video games, and roleplay on my own proboards forum, though it's kinda dead at the moment. I also like some anime, you'll see my avatar is Near from Death Note.

Gosh, it's been so long since I've been part of an active forum... I quit the last forum I was in because I felt the admins weren't running it well and the community was starting to fall apart.

Aww, thanks, I'm so flattered you actually went to check my profile out! <3

I sure hope I can find my place here... at the last forum I hung out in, it was filled with those "troll" types who think they're so edgy because they spam the place with flashing images... I'm not even photosensitive but it still pissed me off.
 
Hi balancesplash, welcome to CWE!

This is a great place to get info and support. Ask away! And feel free to explore all the forums here.

Best,

I haven't been here long, but I have yet to see anyone do anything like that. It's sad that there's people that get their kicks by doing that kind of stuff...
 
CWE is pretty good about catching/preventing trolls. Newbies get thoroughly checked out and need to post a certain number of times before they are allowed to include/embed links.

I'm glad to find a safe place... Someone thought it would be a jolly good idea to spam the forum's rape survivors thread with rape porn on April Fool's Day. *shudder*

So happy to see this place is active and everyone's so nice here! ^u^
 
Welcome!

I too have seen your interest in Star Trek. You have found a great site.

You are not alone. Everyone here is informed and helpful.
Good luck as you begin this journey and I hope you find answers to all of your questions.
