Sooo. I must admit that I didn't actually watch the premiere on the day it was aired. (Don't shoot me!) BUTTT. I did go on good old Hulu and watched it when I found out I missed it. What am I talking about? Switched At Birth of course. (:
Yes. The show that became extremely popular after only one season. Hell, after a couple shows of the season! (If you haven't watched this, I STRONGLY recommend this). Now. The first episode of the show was last Tuesday. The second will be tonight!!! 8 o'clock EST. (I don't know what that would mean for anyone else. lol)
Now. The normal happened in the opening show. It continued from the last season. Bay is with Emmett, Daphne is jealous. Etc Etc.. As far as the romance goes in the show, it's basically the same as any other ABC family show. However, the part of the show that I love the most. Isn't the fact that Bay isn't her parents real daughter and Daphne isn't her mothers real daughter. Not the fact that they were switched at birth like the title gives away. But the fact that Daphne and Emmett are deaf.
For most people, being deaf is something that's different. Confusing. Hard to comprehend, even. For me... it's a part of my daily life. Something most people don't know about me is that my grandparents are deaf. Actually... 4 grandparents since my real grandparents divorced and remarried. Two live across the country and I don't talk to them much. But the other two live in town. I'm extremely close to my grandma. I can relate to Bay on a certain level because I'm not the best with sign language. I know the basics and I can have a conversation with my grandma in sign language but it's difficult. It really is a whole other language.
It doesn't even stop there with my family and deafness. My dad works in a school system close to my town. (A neighboring town) He interprets for a 5th grade deaf boy. I think it's an amazing job. And I'm proud of him for that.
The deaf community is a big part of my life, and I thought I'd share that along with how awesome that show it. (: About an hour till it's on! XD

P.S. I'm sorry... I'm an epic failure... lol. There have been two shows so far. Well... three total now. And I'm a failure and have only watched one since I refused to watch last nights without watching the second one... BUT. I am going to watch both On Demand tonight when I get home. (:
Sorry guys... lol
