It's fun being blind.
Now don't get me wrong. I don't like being blind... but it's fun.
It's true that the other senses are heightened. But I'm not sure they've shared with the non-blind community that it's almost scary how heightened they are. (I'm not sure I'm allowed to tell you that, but oh well).

I guess fate decided that for me because the next day, my birthday, I could see again. Except, I saw more than I could before I went blind. And what I could see couldn't possibly be used for evil... At least I don't think it could.
Oh, and I lost my hearing, go figure.
My Birthday ended up on a weekday, and my parents don't like me skipping school so my day started just like any other...
