Some people have asked me why don't I write about myself instead of just posting jokes...I am a very shy person and I don't let people see the real me, but I will try....My name is Kelli, I'm 45 and I know my situation isn't unique, but it sure feels that way to me. I've been in a wheelchair since I was eleven, so I had to "grow up" at a young age. While all my friends were out having fun I was at home listening to people talk about their job or money Something that a eleven year old shouldn''t have to deal with. When I finally went back to school,  everyone was not sure what to do or say I never felt like I fit in   

After I finished High School, I tried college, but I couldn't manage because the campus was so big and my classes were on opposite ends, back then you didn't see a lot of wheelchairs, I wasn't aware of any govt. programs to help me get a electric chair, so I toughed it out three months and came back home

After six months of doing nothing, I went to a trade school for the disabled where I met my husband/best friend. We had alot of things in common, we both needed someone and we wanted to be independant. We were married later that year and moved out on our own  He took me everywhere there was nothing we couldn't do together.

He died two years ago, and now I'm lost I have moved back in with my parents They are both elderly and not in good health   I have a older sister that comes by when she can, but she is married and has her own life I do not have any close friends that I can go do things with and I don't drive, so I usually stay in my room on this computer I do have a scooter that I ride around the block occasionally, but I usually stay inside playing games on this computer or watching tv, my friday nights is just me and netflix, my life or lack of is rather boring  I am a very emotional person, I cry at the drop of a hat   I do not take things with a "grain of salt" My mom says I make more out of what is said, but I think I see things clearer than "normal" people 

I stared at this blog for weeks debating whether to post it, it seems rather depressing to me

    Blogging can get in your blood if you give it enough time. It can be cathartic and can purge a lot of garbage out of your system. Welcome to the world of blogging. I hope it grows on you......

    Hi Kelli, thanks for sharing a bit about yourself. Have you rented any good movies through Netflix lately?

    Hi Kelli Just saying hi. I just watch a great movie, V for Vendetta, it was made in 2006, about future England, although it's really endemic of what's occurring today in our so called Democracy. Maybe we could talk more sometime. Here's my blog, if you feel like checking it out: http://davidjgregory.com, you might have to copy and paste the url into the address window. Bye for now, Dave

    Hello Kelli, I know exactley how you feel. I am in the exact same situation as you, infact when I read your entry it seemed like I had wrote it myself about my life. If you ever need anyone to talk to please feel free to email me at so_twisted32@yahoo.com if anyone else needs or wants to talk as well please feel free to email me as well. I have nothing but time and by helping others we all are also helping our selves

    YOU KNOW, I FEEL THE SAME WAY YOU DO, I BECAME DISABLED AT THE AGE OF 13, AND EVER SINCE I HAVE FELT THAT I DON'T FIT IN. I WENT TO COLLEGE AND TO A TRADE SCHOOL TOO, FINALLY GOT A JOB, BUT FELT AS THOUGH I DIDN'T FIT IN THERE EITHER. I AM GOING THRU SOME OF THE SAME THINGS YOU WROTE ABOUT. I AM GOING THRU A BREAKUP OF A RELATIONSHIP OF FIFTEEN YEARS, AND IT IS HARD BEING ALONE. LIKE YOU, I STAY INSIDE ALL THE TIME LOOKING AT TV OR LISTENING TO MUSIC. I TRY TO MAKE FRIENDS, BUT PEOPLE ARE SO STAND OFFISH , I GET UNCOMFORTABLE. I HAVE A FAMILY, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO BOTHERED, EVEN THOUGH THEY PRETEND THEY DO. I AM JUST LOOKING FOR A FREIND, SOMEONE TO TALK TO.
