Today, I thought I'd share some of the randomness in my head and one such randomness is "email killed my handwriting!" {BTW, I'm totally humming "video killed the radio star" as I type this, lol}
I used to have such pretty handwriting, once upon a time. I could do print, all capital for emphasis and even write a decent cursive. Now my handwriting has been reduced to that of a 7-year old!
It's funny because Vanessa and I have these playful little arguments about whose handwriting is better. She'd say, "I love your handwriting!" and I'd reply with "You're high...I love yours!" and we would banter back & forth about who actually has the better handwriting. I still say she has the better one =P
And I blame YOU, Mr. Electronic Mail. Yes, you conspired with Mr. World Wide Web to make it so damn convenient to communicate electronically that the only time I actually need to write anything is when I have to sign a check...and even that happens once in a blue moon! I feel like working off the blasted computer for 12-hours a day is slowly killing my hand muscles so that I can barely hold a pen anymore, let alone actually write nicely!
I hate this...I really, really do! I used to pride myself on my pretty handwriting. Now whenever I do write something, I sit back and marvel at how lazy and uneven it looks. I'm tempted to sign up for interior design classes because they actually teach you how to write. {Did you guys know that? If you're an ID major, there are classes where they actually teach you how to do the special handwriting used by designers for their drawings & specs. And that is your useless tidbit of the day!}
Seriously guys, am I the only one who has noticed her handwriting slowly deteriorating thanks to the excessive amount of typing we do?

I noticed how much my handwriting had deteriorated when I had to ship books out and started labeling packages (free hand). I guess we are just using DIFFERENT finger muscles when we type. The old "hold the pencil" muscles went on a long vacation.

you know what I never thought about it like that I've been wondering why my once beautiful handwriting looks like something out of a doctors office. At least when I was in school my handwriting was still excellent but now it has deteriorated dramatically.
My handwriting has always been pretty bad. But this made me think because I am reading Matched by Ally Condie right now and they don't even know how to write - it's a lost art form! I think that would be sad.
I feel ya sista.
Well, my penmanship has always been bad, but at least it used to be legible. Now, chickens are calling my handwriting Missie scratch.
Not cool.
