fs: if you remember, rucker's handwriting was always remarkably slanted to the left.


from that wikipedia page: "A left slant indicates emotional withdrawal."

some notable things about my handwriting:

my lowercase b's and d's are made without a line coming back down. i.e., I make by lowercase b's like 6s but the vertical line is straighter. I figured the extra line coming down was just a waste.

a lot of times my lowercase n's look almost like cursive lowercase r's, just a little hump kind of. you can't see it in this though because the n is after an i.

and finally my lowercase k's are kind of weird because the tallest line and the line pointing up and to the right are connected. another time-saver :).

as much as I've been obsessive about saving time writing letters, I can't shake the habit of making the little line through my lowercase z's :/.

lucas: but isn't rucker left-handed? would that make his slant actually a forward slant? I am not sure if I remember his handedness correctly.

wiki, "A forward slant indicates high emotional expressiveness"

Anyone else notice asemi's message tilts noticeably left...save for the word "Love"? It tilts noticeably right! :-o

I am withdrawn :|.

also I think I make the little line through my z's in the interest of differentiating them from 2s in a lot of math courses.

your v looks like an r, lucas. I like your k method, though. I might try that.

your e in Dear is encroaching on the D's space, Étrangère! also your i's and j's are interesting…

yeah but i use it sorta stylistically in notes and such

i don't find mine to appear too intense :) it's like those fonts that have smaller upper case letters for their non-caps letters..if you know what i mean...

dude dp! we have almost identical styles in how we write out our letters. compare your normal with mine. except for you obviously taking more care and using cleaner paper, our handwriting in 'normal' is pretty damn similar. what does it mean...wiki?

Fsmart, yeah some things are strikingly similar. Notice to which extent you finish up your p in Sphinx compared to me! you drop your h's foot about the same as me too.

although there are certain things different, like tails on g and y.
g looks different too, but you 'ge' like i do :p

yeah a few differences but when i look at your normal i think 'that is my handwriting' :)
