That Handwriting Meme

[chomiji]

I'm not telling who I ganked this from! But everyone's been claiming to have rotten handwriting. Gentlefolk, your various writings are perfectly fine. Let me show you some bad handwriting ... .

The prompts for the meme are:

Write:

1. Your name/username.
2. Left-handed or right-handed?
3. Favourite letters to write?
4. Least favourite letters to write?
5. Write "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
6. Tag 6 people.

My writing was a lot better 25 years ago when I had to markup manuscripts by hand ... .

Nice alternative sentence. I must remember that.

[chomiji]

There are more here, but not all are very good sentences, and some resort to proper names. I just like the mental images that this one conjurs!

[kispexi2.livejournal.com]

I like the first one of those too! *glug*

5 x 12 jugs ...

[chomiji]

Huh, it takes only a fraction of a jug to put me under the table ... (it would be direly easy to come up with a Yukimura "sozzled" icon - it's one of the things he's famous for ... .)

Yours is way more legible than my roommate's, and several former bosses of mine. ;)

I looooove that other sentence! So is that like a typing exercise?

[chomiji]

Well, it could be ... it's a pangram. I think I first saw it in the results of a contest that New York magazine had, many years ago.

If I try harder, I can make it quite legible, but it always looks rather wild and sketchy, regardless.

I like the first "R" in 3. I've seen worse handwritings that don't look half as cool as yours, though it might just be the pen you used that makes me think that.

[chomiji]

I used a roller-ball pen - I don't actually care for them much, but I wanted something that would make a good, dark line for the scanner.

Heh, the R with the "flag" is the version I use when signing my real name.

heh, amusing.

[chomiji]

Of course, you've already seen my writing!

[ipperne.livejournal.com]

yes I have^^

I was thinking of doing this meme too, but people cant tell my letters apart, so I decided against it^^

(I was thinking if you've read the fifth chapter of Serendipity? 'm dying for some feedback...)

[chomiji]

I zipped through it very quickly - I need to re-read it properly. Tonight, I hope.

[badtzphoto.livejournal.com]

This is much more legible than that of someone I know.

[chomiji]

Hee! That's because I was actually trying ... when I'm taking a bunch of notes quickly at a meeting, sometimes I can't read them myself, later! It's rather sad.

[chomiji]

Well, it may not be bad in any absolute sense, but it's a helluva lot worse than any of the writings I'd seen posted thus far!

I used to have to try to interpret my poor dyslexic dad's writing - that was quite the challenge!

[blue-hobbit.livejournal.com]

Your handwriting isn't that bad... mine sure doesn't look better ;)

[chomiji]

Well, it's not among the world's worst, but it's much messier than most of the samples I was seeing posted!
