I have (had) the habit of scanning my notes. Handwriting, and finding the right style is somehow important to me.

Your handwriting looks like Elvish script.


My handwriting back in the early nineties was downright elvish, adapted from tolkien's script, mixed up with some old letters I've seen from my grandfather, back when they were written with feathers, with long cursives.

(I really like Adilegian's thin, long letters by the way)

My current one re-emerged as a sort of gothic script mixed up with some modern influences.

However, writing while being transported within metal encased vehicles turn my script into some barely legible version of this. Also, you can't write such a script with just about any pen.

I had the same quest once upon a time, though I can't say my results were as attractive as yours. I'm sure I've got some of those old notes around home somewhere. I'll dig them up.


I even have some sort of "blog" made up of those notes. I liked the idea of:

1- putting some physical effort into posting stuff on the internet
2- making google's/spider's life difficult

Do you use special pens?


I try to write correctly with whichever pen's around me, especially at work where they would only restock on hand-aching ball pens, and where I'm afraid of losing a fountain pen.

Actually I dropped the fountain pens at work due to the paper they provide us, which for some reason cannot cope with all the ink. My writing then takes too much time to dry up. Also, my fountain pens are slightly too thin for my handwriting. Maybe I'll get one of those calligraphic fountain pens. They were all the rage at the undergraduate school I was studying at.

Otherwise I am pretty fond of the Pilot G-2 and occasionally write with a mitsubishi sign pen with a very dignified style.

People have been using graphology to screen off potential hires. I'd always prefer them to throw dice.

Never had any teacher doing that, maybe they want you not to take notes? I've more often than not asbtained from taking notes, chosing instead to memorize the course as it was given to me.

I sure hope such a civil engineer to be able to communicate his ideas in person as well as on paper. Otherwise I'd prefer not to step or drive on any of his constructions.
