[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 337091, member: 8"] I'm lost without my pen and paper and not a day goes by that I don't write down something. When it's supposed to be both informative and representative (e.g. something with longevity) then I make an effort to write as beautifully as possible. Being left-handed, it's impossible for me to let the pen glide over the paper; I practically carve the words into it with neurotic precision. I'm sure psychiatrists would have a field day with it. There's got to be an extra paper underneath the paper, it feels better. It goes without saying that the fountain pen - mandatory at elementary school - was an inexhaustible source for big drama and little blue hands. Some letters and digits are consistently challenging because I can't predict what it's going to look like, and I just can't stand it. The enemies are: capital G, L, S, U and Z (often looks like a "2"), and digits 5 and 8. My friends are: capital A, D, E, F and P. Digits 2, 7 (always with a dash!) and 9. Oh, 9 is so playful, bit of a rascal but it always turns out right (from this left-handed point of view). [/QUOTE]
