Your handwriting

poptimusgrime [Edit] [Delete] 221 replies 21:49, 12 December '08

What's your handwriting like?

I have a weird interest in handwriting. I like looking at it and stuff, and sometimes I change my handwriting if I get bored of it. I'm quite good at copying some people's handwriting styles.

Post pictures or scans of your handwriting to see if I can steal any of them.

My own handwriting looks like this:

Write what you want. Even "poptimus, this is a ridiculously lame thread" and stuff x

  • have you got a handwriting fetish or something?

    my handwriting is so illegible, when i did my mock gcse food technology exam, i got a rather embarrassed phonecall from my teacher saying she couldn't read any of my answers so could i come into school and actually read her the answers that i'd written. i'd no idea why she was embarrassed when i should've been. oh, and for the record, i was honest about what my answers were

    brusma | 12 Dec '08, 21:51 | X
    • Yeah, pretty much.

      Not a sexy fetish either, it's just that handwriting gives me glee. Especially illegible handwriting!

      TOP DiS FACT: yes_ has the most illegible handwriting I've ever seen and I'm really jealous of it. It's probably the best I've seen so far

          with circles instead of dots above your is and js?

      • I've noticed my boss doing it, when writing on envelopes

        to make sure the address is neat and centred. I just grab the envelope and scrawl across it, making it all grubby. Professional (Y)

      • I wish I had a scanner

        so I could draw a heart, scan it, then post it here, instead of having to draw and photograph it and wait for ages for it to download onto the computer, then wait for a further ages to upload it onto Flickr. I'll still do that, though, but here: <3

      • i think i wrote you a note about something like

        hey tony this is my handwriting. it always changes, so take a good look.

        DarwinDude | 12 Dec '08, 21:59 | X
        • do you still have it?

          DarwinDude @DarwinDude | 12 Dec '08, 21:59 | X
          • i bet its really similar and you'll match it up with my own handwriting from other documents

            paradoxically proving me a fraud, or something

            DarwinDude @DarwinDude | 12 Dec '08, 22:00 | X
            • Yeah, I could be proven a fraud with my different handwriting samples.

              My signature changed three times these year. At first it looked like it said "Cunty Killing" now it looks like this "A____y K__ll___y". Massive lines for no reason!

              I still have that note, in my wee book. James and Josh and the other Catriona and dark_truffles and Louise wrote in it too. So did medulla, but he signed off as "Anonymous", ruining all the fun.

      • I'm a bit like this!

        My own handwriting's stupidly small [my maths teacher always used to do this cute, lame joke where she'd get out a magnifying glass and go in a really exaggerated voice 'oh, It's ****'s work, I better just get out my *magnifying glass* (pulls out magnifying glass) so I can read it']. I'm a bit obsessed abut making it look perfect aswell, like in a ultra legible style.

        alcoholic | 12 Dec '08, 22:03 | X
        • My handwriting used to be tiny too!

          In fact, I used to lean right into the page with my nose almost touching the paper so that I could make it as small as possible. I increased it a bit after one teacher kept giving me into trouble.

              poptimusgrime @alcoholic | 12 Dec '08, 22:24 | X
      • A bit scrawlly, used to be better but now I just jot things down

        so you lose the structure of the letters.

          everyone else has been quite scrawly. Although I did read "mess" as "Mex" at first. Cute cat

          but then realised it's probably the crazy backwards world of the webcam.

                    you must have seen a doctor at some point and had a presenting sympton. And you must have had an age when that happened.

                    I actually have some sort of weird handwriting fetish too, some handwriting genuinely looks beautiful to me, especially if it was written in a colour other than black.

                      Probably not, don't recall ever seeing it. Anyway, I totally get what you mean about some of it looking beautiful - I'm a big fan of Alasdair Gray's handwriting and Oscar Wilde's is quite beautiful. But I prefer it in black. There's something about perfect handwriting in black ink. I guess I could get quite erotic about it.

                                          It slants, doesn't stay in the lines, and most people can't read it. It's also got flickier of late (lower case Fs, capital Js and Ss, especially), because I'm a bit of a ponce. Here's some seminar notes I just scanned:

                                                  Wikipedia: 'The letter "t" has the largest number of interpretations. For example where the horizontal "bar" of the t is placed on the vertical "stem" indicates where one places their goals, while the height of the t stem indicates the potential to accomplish those goals.'

                                                  And the "bar" of my Ts basically extends from the bottom, haha.

                                                  • Graphology is pretty much the most ridiculous branch of "science" ever.

                                                    I saw a sheet displaying 20 ways someone could write a "y" and like 18 of them were saying "If you write 'y' this way it means you are gay". So stupid

Never, ever understood any of the maths though.
