Yous a lady Skwisgaar!
My handwriting is pretty inconsistent as well. I'm always afraid I'm going to get nailed for forging my own signature on checks.

I am also insane.


edit: Reid who the gently caress are you? Leonardo Da Vinci? Good god! That being said I actually like the aesthetics of your handwriting VVV

Are penmanship classes still a thing? I don't handwrite anything all that often but I'd still like it to look a little nicer.

I discovered the other day when I renewed my licence that my signature has changed quite a bit in the last 5 years. It used to have a b at the start of it but now it's just a bunch of vertical lines really. I'm gonna blame that mostly on teaching and having to sign my name on every single note that a student asks for really

That is easily the most beautifully written "gently caress" I have ever seen.

I have four "n"s and two "m"s in my name, so gently caress writing it out all nice-like. My signature is basically the first letter of my name followed by a horizontal line.

Some mod that I installed at some point, I think, completely buggerfucked the portal maze to where the journal just said "Welp, ramblings of a madman, nothing to see here." and every walkthrough with the exact directions to get through it matched up with nothing my game did.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apatosaurus

quote:

Apatosaurus /əˌpætɵˈsɔrəs/, including the popular but scientifically redundant synonym Brontosaurus, is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived from about 154 to 150 million years ago, during the Jurassic Period (Kimmeridgian and early Tithonian ages)
.
.
.
In 1877, Othniel Charles Marsh published the name of the type species Apatosaurus ajax. He followed this in 1879 with a description of another, more complete specimen, which he thought represented a new genus and species, which he named Brontosaurus excelsus. In 1903, Elmer Riggs re-examined the fossils. While he agreed with Marsh that Brontosaurus excelsus was likely a distinct species, he also noted many similarities between B. excelsus and A. ajax, and decided that both should be placed in the same genus. Riggs re-classified the species as Apatosaurus excelsus in 1903.[14] Since Riggs published his opinions, almost all paleontologists have agreed that the two species should be classified together in a single genus. According to the rules of the ICZN (which governs the scientific names of animals), the name Apatosaurus, having been published first, had priority as the official name; Brontosaurus is considered a junior synonym and has therefore been discarded from formal use.

So the scientific community has known since 1903 that they are the same dinosaur and brontosaurus shouldn't be used, yet it caught on anyway and well, here we are.

When life becomes too painful, sometimes it's better to just become a drunk.


I was going to include my lower case letters but I never use them so I figured why bother. I'm also a lefty so I have to be careful not to smudge, especially since the nice pens at work are all gel pens.

You can see a little of my bosses awful handwriting on the right side. We need him to translate for us because he writes the first letter (kind of) and then scribbles a bunch.

My happy place~

My cursive is faster, and it's almost all I used up until I was about 19. I went to work for my dad, and he couldn't read my writing, so I started also writing in all caps like he did so he could read it.

Sometimes I switch between the two in notes for nothing more than visual variety:
