It seems like a lot but it doesn't feel like a lot to me. I've been trying to see what I can do for a living at the same time as keeping it as something that excites me. Seems like there are a lot of obstacles that I can't even see yet. Little afraid of testing the water and finding it to be 20' deep and have it quickly swallow me up.
I think I would like to get into most disability work. From what I've found in LA most of it is geared towards the mentally handicapped and less the physically. I have yet to find some kind of activist group. There seems to be a bit of a void out here in that area. NY, Chicago, and Berkeley seem like the places to be.
At least out here in LA I do have my best friend Ashley which makes all the difference in the world.
