15 of 30 - Graphology

[aggienaut]

Wow that was a nightmare trying to take a picture of the writing and getting the contrast all correct and such. I think I may also have determined the right side of my camera lense is inherently blurry. I couldn't get the first paragraph all in focus until I took a picture of it holding the camera upside down and stitched the two right sides of the image together. Anyway I've wanted to do a handwritten entry for awhile... and I don't tihnk I'm going to do it again for awhile ... unless I gain access to this thing called a "scanner."

(and yes that begins "dear commentariat")

I've been told I write like a left handed person... supposedly it’s because I hold the pen kind of like I’m making a fist around it and rest it on my ring finger. This once caused a man at my work to ask me what side of my brain I think with... like I friggen knew. I told him I didn't.

Side of brain

Didn't know, or didn't think? ;)

I can just picture it "I can feel myself thinking on the left right now!"


Quite a few people have commented that they also rest their pen on their ring finger .. but I've definitely been told all my life it isn't normal. I wonder if there's some kind of corrolation between doing that and tending to become a blogger or something (: Or maybe it's just that all the normies don't think to comment

Didn't think... like at all. From then on he would eyeball me like I was going to do something crazy. I'm pretty sure he was some kind of psychologist or something and the way I held my pencil was some sort of body language for serial killer or something...

My brother is legitimately left handed as well as much of my extended family. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I can write pretty clear if I hold a pencil the "normal way" but that's just not comfortable. OOOOO... and I have a huge dent in my ring finger where the pencil rests- you got that too?

Haha that's funny. Though you'd think a psychologist would be smarter than to ask what side of the brain you think with.

Also I was going to try writing a sentence with my left hand but decided not to because it might be all over the page and make a mess out of the rest :D

I used to have a big callus on my finger but not anymore, guess I haven't done much handwriting lately d:
