Woke up feeling well rested and awake this morning.

Feels really wrong if I'm honest.

Oh really when?

I hated learning cursive. The only letters you need to know how to write are your name anyway.
I hated it as well, though I had to use it throughout third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades. I can't remember about seventh grade, though I think that's when I started writing the way I do nowadays (a combination of cursive and non-cursive)...

I've not used Cursive in so long, and just write as and how I care - and I don't do it all that often anyway.

It's frankly a useless skill when actually teaching to write full stop is something many schools don't do.

My cursive skills are nonexistent. I don't even really know how to properly sign my name if I'm honest. I just scribble some curly thing that looks remotely like my name.

Oh really when?

It's a dying art. Some people appreciate it, but on the whole not many people will penalize you for not knowing how to do it.

The last few letters in my surname are "ell", so when I sign my name it just looks like either three e's or three l's.

I can read it just fine, but only ever use it to sign things.

When I taught it to myself, my parents and teachers noticed how it worked better for me.

I like to keep my audience riveted.

In college I always wrote in cursive.

Nobody else but the teachers could ever read what I wrote.

Maybe that was advantageous.

For some reason my print handwriting is complete ass but my cursive handwriting looks great.

Had a sixth grade teacher that insisted everything be in cursive. Everything. Even algebra shit.

Today was the last day of my Design class, and we had to have everything in by 2:00.

Then, about around 1:30, the printer stopped working...

We eventually sorted it all out and got the work in, but I don't think I've ever heard so many uses of the words 'fuck' and 'im gonna cut myself' as I have today. This is also including the number of times I said it.

We humans really have a lot in common when it comes to computer rage.

Sometimes I forgot I have a wall. I think I do.

Maybe. Or is it a page?

I should check it eventually.

I've actually started to sign my name akin to the NASA chevron, inspired by someone at my school who signs with the letters arranged like a dinosaur. I hope College Board doesn't withheld my scores because of it, or if they even checks. Why does the oath have to be written in cursive?

Troper walls tend to be built of text; thus they are often literal walls of text...

I actually liked iCarly. Until the Seddie romance arc. Until it turned out that it ended realistically with them breaking up, then I liked it again.

that's really...I don't even want to click the link.

the kids are in bed. I was able to be...happy. but now I just...I keep looking at my hands and my ring isn't there and I'm reminded that it's all real. I'm not getting married after all.

I feel so cold.
