Penmanship Tag

I remember clearly when my penmanship went off track. Our teacher was introducing us to cursive writing and the first few letters were easy. Aa, Bb, Cc--then I had to go to the nurse's office. By the time I got back to class they were doing "Uu" and I was lost. And the fact that my fine motor skills suck may have something to do with it too. Writing, drawing, or painting with precision are real challenges.

But a wonderful blogger, Krissy, tagged me to do this penmanship post. So, even though it highlights one of my most glaring weaknesses as a human being (chimps write better), below is a sample of my handwriting--read on and feel better about your own. ;P

Except for my signature, I don't use cursive--not since high school. The tag questions are:

1. What's your name/ Blogger name?
2. What's your blog's name/ URL?
3. Write "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
4. Favorite quote?
5. Favorite song?
6. Favorite bands/ singers?
7. Anything else you want to say?
8. Tag 3 - 6 people

I tag Lei, 我 MOI, kristieinbc, RML, MizzJ, and Reina. I don'tthink I've seen their handwriting yet! Many of my blogger friends have completed this tag already and gave great answers to #4. I've tried to avoid copying any of them--although, it certainly wouldn't look the same in my handwriting. Okay, here goes:

    Hahaa! I think I can tell from your handwriting that you're a nice person. All the jerks I know have a certain type of handwriting... lol.

    Cheers to March, Rick! Happy birthday!

    For someone who only learned to write A, B, C, U, V, W, X, Y and Z in cursive --- that was a good job! Hahaha! Bon doesn't want to admit that his handwriting sucks! He thinks he has awesome handwriting!

    Oh, I don’t think your penmanship is bad at all. Thanx for sharing with us how “ugly” your handwriting is. And on your precious toy in the perfect shade of yellow, poor you! If you had known, you wouldn’t have kept the toy in its pristine condition. I hope the new owner doesn’t find sand in the grooves of the wheels.

    Re your comment:
    Haha... I’m fast approaching an age that is not considered young anymore but maybe as compared to you, I am. LoLz... kidding kidding... so mean of me! Haha.. The thought of you needing make up tricks is so funny. I hope work would be kinder on you too and may we both find our balance soon.

    Thanx for your concern! =D

    You have nice handwriting actually! I like it when these meme/blogger tag posts are more unique, it makes them funner to answer :) I'm not sure that anyone will be able to read my answers. My handwriting is terrible especially since I rarely write with a pen anymore. I'll try my best though!

    At least I can still read your writing!!! My brother has horrible penmanship... i can only imagine how difficult it was for his teachers to read his essays/papers back when he was in school. hahaha!

    I think you're just too modest Rick. You have a very neat handwriting. I've seen worst and illegible writings.

    Sorry I missed your birthday. Happy Belated Birthday Rick!

    I think you're the only blogger I've seen so far who's given his John Hancock at the end of the tag. Very cool ;)
