handwriting

"You have ugly handwriting for a girl."
Uh, thanks?
How exactly should I reply to that statement, Mister.
But anyone who says that isn't too far off. I would describe my handwriting as...lazy. I don't put any effort into it and I don't care to. I have deep admiration for those with beautiful, bubbly handwriting. My 7th grade health teacher could use both capital letters and lowercase letters interchangeably....swoon.
I, on the other hand, have letters that look like they stopped growing in the 8th grade. The often run together rather unfortunately. And as much as I try to use upper case and lower case letters in an acceptable way, people look at my funny as they come across the random capitalized M's and R's.
It's okay, my ratty handwriting and I go together well. Often times I write so fast that it's a good thing I don't give a damn. I wouldn't get enough out if I was focused on the roundness of a "D" or the sharpness of "K."
