IMPEACH GEORGE BUSH!! GJ Willis' Art Notes

The Adventures and Misadventures of a Neer Do Well Artist Living in Baltimore.

Location: Baltimore, Maryland, United States

I am a visual artist and writer living in Baltimore. I don't have any artist friends. Frankly, artists scare me, there so darn flaky. The above picture is either of me or proof that I'm a pretty decent artist. My goal is to be a self sufficient artist, whereas I wouldn't have to do something else in the day in order to eke out an existence. I also like to attend various cultural events around town. I go to plays, the symphony, etc. Also, I have Asperger's Syndrome. I found this out recently and it has explained a heck of a lot as to why I am as I am.

This morning at the 7-eleven, I accidently bumped into the deaf man from work that looks like Andy Rooney. I was reaching for a bag of chips and as I was reaching he passed by and I ended up accidently touching his arm. It was one of those split second things.

I didn’t think anything of it until I crossed the street to wait for the light rail train. While waiting I couldn’t help but notice that he kept giving me angry threatening looks. Like he would cross the street to throw something away in the trash can. As he crossed the street all the while he would be looking at me with a scowl on his face. Also I noticed that he kept rapidly opening and closing his right hand. I’m not deaf so I don’t know if that means anything in sign language or if he just felt like opening and closing his hand a lot to let off tension.

It was all just an accident! I’m 5’3 and he towers over me at 6’ something. Did he really think I was trying to attack him? Maybe he’s a racist or something and a black woman accidently bumping into him is tantamount to I don’t know what...

Come to think of it.... recently he’s been giving me a lot of angry threatening looks lately. Did I do something that I’m not aware of that’s viewed as a slight in the deaf world? Surely, he knows by now that I’m not deaf. Maybe I should find a way to sign, “I’m not deaf. I’m autistic.”

WHAT I’M WEARING:
Today, I have on a beige skirt and a sky blue short sleeve top.
