The one with the poor little bunny. *hugs*

But I couldn't understand the vast majority of the song until I found the lyrics. Then, of course, they all fell into place. Why does it become easy to understand what I'm hearing when I can see it?

Heh, I'd say Auditory Processing Disorder (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=capd), but I'm a bit biased there, of course.

I don't see how I ever watched TV without captioning...

*checks watch*

Yup, right on schedule. I *knew* somebody would mention that!

While I've actually pondered the idea of my having an Auditory Processing Disorder, the end of it is that I don't think I do - or that if I do, it's very mild. I could be mistaken, of course, but I don't think it's a huge concern in my life.

Actually, the person I think might have a CAPD is Seth - I've seen him and Ana both ignore what they've been told, and it's obvious that they're doing it - they pause, they look at you, they either grin or turn away quickly, you can see that they registered what you said. And there's nothing wrong with Seth's hearing. But sometimes, often, really, you'll say something that he knows like "come here" or "pick that up" and he won't even respond. But you move so he has to notice you, then you get the response.

Connnnnnnnnnie go on AIM! Pweese?

[conuly]

I should be asleep, and you want me on AIM?

[xiggaroo.livejournal.com]

I should be asleep as well. But. Um. If you don't want to, it's not a big deal. I'm going soonish anyhow.

Actually most people have that difficulty. If you're watching a TV show and you close your eyes, it's harder to understand what the characters are saying than if you are unconsciously reading their lips at the same time.

I wonder if it's like my 'speech impediment'. I score very high in all areas except vocabulary which is actually how you parse things, not how many words you know. The speech pathologist said it was an impediment & not a disability because it's so narrow band/specialised.

[codeman38.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't even get me started on standardized test questions that are supposed to measure your vocabulary. Given a creative enough mind, you could find several answers that seem to be a reasonable fit!

[xiggaroo.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, me either! I find that most people can't stand to watch TV in my room with me because I insist on watching with caps... Of course, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. :P

I love closed captioning. I used to watch a lot of Disney movies, I needed the captioning so I could memorize the songs.

[xiggaroo.livejournal.com]

Just one more reason you need to come visit - we can watch TV together!


But not Disney.

[conuly]

Not Disney?

HOw about bad lifetime movies?

[codeman38.livejournal.com]

YES. I can memorize song lyrics SO MUCH EASIER when I see them in print!

Incidentally, if I ever get enough skill at animation to do Flash stuff (fat chance), I have the intention of captioning every bit of it. LegendaryFrog (http://www.legendaryfrog.com/)'s Flash animations are excellent stuff to begin with, but the fact that they're all captioned only makes things better. I wish more Flash animators would do that.

Heck, I ought to outsource myself to Flash animators to do captioning for them...

[conuly]

That would rock. Captioned flash movies. *dreams*

Thanks for the lyrics

Hearing it without them, I thought part of it went

Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Does anyone else get that feeling?
Two ninjas naked,
Couple and threes
swing from the ceiling.
