whenever i sit down to post, i am hit with a major case of writer's block- i feel like i have millions of ideas to bitch about, but i don't. whenever i'm watching tv, all buzzed, i get these fabulous themes, but then they're gone by the time i get to a computer. maybe it's the lack of braincells.
have you heard of aperts? i saw a documentary on the discovery channel:
Apert Syndromeis a genetic defect and falls under the broad classification of craniofacial/limb anomalies. It can be inherited from a parent who has Apert, or may be a fresh mutation. It occurs in approximately 1 per 160,000 to 200,000 live births. Apert syndrome is primarily characterized by specific malformations of the skull, midface, hands, and feet. The skull is prematurely fused and unable to grow normally; the midface (that area of the face from the middle of the eye socket to the upper jaw) appears retruded or sunken; and the fingers and toes are fused together in varying degrees. Apert syndrome is named for the French physician who first described it, E. Apert, in 1906.
to me, this disease is too sad because the kids aren't retarded, they just hae mutated bodies, so it must be so sad for them to feel like other kids, but not be able to participate in being a normal kid and then a normal adult.
