    that’s not illegible or spidery. Everyone’s writing style is uniquely their own, with their own embellishments, slants and quirks, askin to personality.

    it’s nice to see that window on the soul sometimes.

    Are you planing to sell these as Limited edition screen prints on ebay?

    ” Would all Graphologists please form an orderly queue”

    andre | 04.15.07, 01:35

    I now get the distinctly eerie feeling that my handwriting is being quietly analysed from afar.

    Not ebay, Andre. As with my recent series of post-it notes, my notepaper collection will be getting its own exhibition at Tate Modern.

    Beautifully written, my reliable witness, in both senses of the word.

    the lamb | 04.15.07, 01:54

    eeh no, there shall be no analysing from these here parts, one must be qualified in typography / criminiology / calligraphy for that lark?

    someone else may though!

    kate | 04.15.07, 01:57

    Thank you, the lamb. You are too kind.

    And Kate - criminology? But apart from a few overdue and never returned library books, I am entirely innocent of any wrongdoing. And anyone who says otherwise is a liar.

    I think the police can safely eliminate you from all burglary cases they may have.

    andre | 04.15.07, 02:07

    that’s like seeing you naked

    Peach | 04.15.07, 02:42

    mr witness - i’m sorry if that sounded accusatory in any way, it wasn’t meant to sound such! a small amount of alcohol and a large amount of tiredness has dedicated i will be confusing tonight, unfortunately i’m not sure what long word i meant, perhaps calligraphy, but that already got said - oops!

    if the police do come a-knocking, send them my way and i’ll get prosecuted for doing illgal things instead. problem solved!

    kate | 04.15.07, 02:44

    Andre - I might have giant springs in this leg, you know. Perfect burglary equipment, that.

    Peach - I don’t know quite what to say to that.

    Kate - No sorry needed. I used to be good at caligraphy when I was young and innocent.

    An Unreliable Witness | 04.15.07, 09:58

    probably best I don’t continue, but I meant, you know, font free…

    Peach | 04.15.07, 10:57

    I thought my handwriting was unique. Now I see—not so much. Eerie. The arrangement of words, however, is too fine to be mine.

    asta | 04.15.07, 15:51

    Nice to see you wholeheartedly reject the dreaded cursive writing…designed to make primary age children and their parents curse aloud when it’s time for homework. Does every letter really have to join to another one? Who makes these rules? Does it make writing any neater, or dare I say it more enjoyable? Or does it in fact dampen individualism - what the National Curriculum in fact does best. Your words, and handwriting, are lovely. Ten out of ten and two house points.

    seahorse | 04.15.07, 17:37

    asta and seahorse - yes, us non-cursives must stick together. Annoying teachers at school always told me that I had to write with joined-up handwriting because it would be quicker taking notes and in exams and such like. I proved them wrong by just being a slow and meticulous writer anyway. Er. Ahem. Oh dear.

    An Unreliable Witness | 04.15.07, 20:16

    i really really like your handwriting

    can i borrow it?

    annie | 04.16.07, 12:15

    Very neat handwriting even though the thoughts might be muddled…

    Ariel | 04.16.07, 13:36

    That’s much neater than my pitiful scrawl. The little graphology I’ve read and retained says your overly reinforced initial caps mean you like to make a Big Entrance and be noticed. The standardised letter sizing throughout the lower case means you’re quite guarded.

    I think the fact that some of your letters sit above the line means you feel yourself superior but I’d not bet my beer money on my recall of that.

    Angelalala | 04.16.07, 13:55

    Annie - Of course you may borrow it. Are you going to create a font out of it? Will I get a commission?

    Ariel - Strangely enough, “very neat handwriting even though the thoughts might be muddled” just about sums me up. I think my teachers said that as far back as primary school.

    Angelalala - All of that is right apart from making a big entrance. I’m shy and retiring, you know. I am very guarded (hence the obtuse blog entries) and I am, of course, terribly terribly superior. To everyone.

    An Unreliable Witness | 04.16.07, 17:10

    i like your handwriting. at least you can read it. why do you have the vowels in the corner? did you forget them honey? x

    Rachel | 04.16.07, 18:45

    Oh Thank you Mr Unreliable Esquire
    a font?!
    YOU are the font
    the font of all knowledge {bows}

    annie | 04.17.07, 15:39

    I have a ruddy complexion, Annie. Oh yes. I am certainly not blushing. Oh no. Definitely not.

    An Unreliable Witness | 04.17.07, 16:49

    Don’t you do joined-up writing, yet? Now I’m guessing you are about 8 years old.

    And I got a BADGE - no, not a badger – at my blog. Go for a closer look at my latest post. A blogging booklet “How to Respond” will be available shortly, for a small fee, upon request. Coral
