About a week ago, I was released from the hospital. I spent my birthday in there, my apologies as I wasn't on the forum at the time.
@MikeCash, and to all others. I've been an arrogant, angry, and very selfish person on here. I need a clean slate. I want to ask you all for your forgiveness. I dealt with many nurses, PR nurses at the hospital, and I learned so much. I've always been interested in medical stuff, and they taught me where my radial artery was so I could take my pulse. It runs through the wrist (near the thumb) and through the left side of the arm. When the nurses are taking your pulse and looking at their watch, they are counting a minute, 60 seconds, for your pulse, to figure how much your pulse beats in a minute. Mine was around 102-120......the whole event was very stressful for me. I've learned to take my own pulse now! Frank D.White is a nurse, and I think maybe that's what I want to do with my life and my magic tricks on the side.
MikeCash, I've become to read the bible, starting at The Gospel Of John, and it's helped me tremendously. I was always so blinded, selfish, arrogant, and I think I'm finally going from atheist to finding peace in myself, to Christian. I know I've said sorry in the past and was completely rude by continuing my old bad habits, and I think I've developed a rather negative reputation here
So I'm trying to let this all out now, and start fresh. I manipulated myself out of the hospital because I didn't want to be there. Now I'm 18....and looking back it was a huge mistake. There was this one person at the hospital who was a master of Tai-Chi, one person I met even owned his own Dojo. He taught me relaxation techniques, and we both spoke in Japanese to each other. I taught him some, but he knew much more than I did!
One man drank too much Apple Juice, he had diabetes. He's now in surgery... I'm praying he will be okay. I promised I'd visit him if I can take a bus to Phoenix (I live 30 minutes away from the hospital). So I should Follow through with my promise. That's one reason I wanted to get out, so I could see him in the hospital. I think I'll buy him a box of sugar-free chocolates...
I don't care how much money it costs -- my parents don't have the time to take me, they work, I'll pay it to go see him. My mom cancelled my car insurance because I didn't have a car (They sold it because I wouldn't drive it enough), although I have a drivers license. I promised him...I don't want to back away from my promise.
God bless everyone here!
PS: I think Elizabeth told me earlier how to type, "Where is the nearest train station?" Well, I learned the stroke order of my first kanji today, I kept writing it over and over again as everyone else has said. I might've said I wrote them in the past -- I lied. I'll be straight up, I lied. I lied because I was too arrogant to realize that lying didn't get me anywhere. I wouldn't take anyone's advice, not even Frank's!
I'll try and find the camera and take a picture of it. Here's the sentence it was used in:
「最寄り駅はどこですか?」 < ---- Kanji & Kana
"Moyori eki wa doko desu ka?" <---- Romanized
Where is the nearest train station?
It's this one:

Mikecash, I used your instructions on how to use it. Remember, you gave them to me? Here they are if you don't remember, you said "So I'd never ask again.":
1) go to http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/wwwjdic.html
2) click on "Find Kanji in the Database"
3) type in the kanji you need help within the box and press enter
4) up comes a list of index numbers for various other dictionaries (including Heisig's 'Remembering the Kanji'), as well as a few English meanings.
5) on that screen click 'SOD', this will give you an animated gif of the kanji being written, in the correct stroke order! Click refresh to see it being written again.
I did that, finally, and practised the stroke order.
I'm going to go and find the digital camera now....
