Gawd my writing sucks. I say that because I can’t read it! I keep writing these “notes2self” that SELF can’t read. Swear to gawd, get with the program, how hard is it. Let me blame the computer. LOL
Remember those penmenship scribbles we use to do in elementary school? Probably a 60s 70s thing. Those circles scrawled along the whole page, up and down strokes down the whole page. The page seemed so long, when is this going to end. Yeah well it helped right. We, back in the day acutally hand to hand write a paragraph or two, book reports, and research papers. Yes we did before the days of word processing and computers. Oh in between that we typed! Typed a whole research paper, we did. Back in the days of White Out! Write out?! š
It’s always the important stuff that I can’t read. I have to think hard of what the hell was I thinking at the time and place, imagine why da hell did I write it in the first place. Is it related to what I wrote it next to, is it just part of a grocery list, what? WTH? Sometimes I just randomly write shit, outta blues; oh yeah remember to…… What? I can’t read it, how do I remember what I can’t read to remember? Such is life. LOL
I keep hearing about a generation that can’t read cursive. I thought that was/is bullshit. UNTIL…. I signed in for an appointment and 2 people were struggling to read the clip board. I assumed it was my last name, thats just a given. But these two look at me (I was the only one there) holding up the clip board at me and pointing at my name. I said my name and they were, “oooohhhhh.” I looked at my writing in cursive and thought I wrote pretty neat. Its just 5 letters. You couldn’t tell thats an “L”. Really? I dunno.
Unlike some people, my daughter & my neice; their printing look like its typewriteen. Its that neat. In fact I told my daughter several times when she was way younger that she needed to make her signature uglier because it was so easy to forge. Now I can’t even read it. At least she listened.
Well I should go and practice my penmenship, let me do a grocery list……
Be Blessed (\0/)
