No, I actually don't even know the brand of this one. It's a lower-end beginner tablet, because he didn't know if I'd even like using it. Besides, I don't have expensive taste. :)

Post by: xnikki118x on November 11, 2008, 03:04:27 AM: Haha I don't think so.

I was trying to make another image with what I thought was girly writing, but I realized I can't write how I invision girly writing. Mine's too sloppy.

EDIT: Use girly fonts to compare! AHA!

Post by: Bildi on November 11, 2008, 03:11:08 AM: I wouldn't be concerned. When you consider this male example courtesy of Patel's thread, it's clear your normal writing is sufficiently girly:

Apologies, I would have spoilered that if i could.

Post by: Greatness Gone on November 11, 2008, 03:11:50 AM: Your writing looks like mine. Girly boy writing, ftmfw. I was always proud of myself throughout my school years because I always had the best guy writing in my honors english classes. So weird that I was place in those; I hate reading.
Title: Re: new electronic toy!
Post by: xnikki118x on November 11, 2008, 03:15:15 AM: Yeah, I'd call mine girly boy writing if I were a boy. Boyish girl writing, maybe. :)

You might not wanna talk about honors English classes if you're using the incorrect version of your, though! :x

Bildi: I love the finger, ahahaha.

Which bit did you write? :P

God that emoticon is awful.
Title: Re: new electronic toy!
Post by: xnikki118x on November 12, 2008, 02:43:22 AM: I wrote the very bottom. "I think mine is almost boyish compared to those!" The others are random fonts I've acquired.

I always have people tell me their handwriting is atrocious, but even they are amazed at how unreadable mine is. Occasionally I am too, although I rarely stumble across a word that I can't decipher after looking at the context. A faithful recreation of a sentence penned in my econ notebook on Monday:

It doesn't look so bad on the computer monitor though -- I would be surprised if no one could read that. The problem with my morning classes is that I'm usually tired and give little thought to comically bad grammar and spelling mistakes, e.g., I'll put down "write" when I mean "right."

Post by: cloudwalking on November 12, 2008, 06:44:47 AM: tablets are so fun to mess around with! i'm not very good with them though, but jarosh is a master.

here's something i wrote a long time ago (with a regular pen) for a handwriting thread over at gaf.

(http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n156/meganekko_pie/writing.jpg)

i always get compliments on my handwriting and even helped a classmate improve his handwriting once so he could pass an essay test. because illegible = fail.

i think my handwriting has gotten worse since learning german though. you see how long you can hold out after writing a page where all the words are like 30 letters long.

Post by: drozmight on November 12, 2008, 12:01:47 PM: I do kinda the same thing with letter x and "e" combos... "the" looks like a cross with a half u and then a curl.
Title: Re: new electronic toy!
Post by: muckhole on November 12, 2008, 02:09:22 PM: I can draw not too badly with my tablet, but when it comes to writing text, I fail. It looks shaky as hell. Dunno why that is.

Post by: Tieno on November 13, 2008, 04:03:02 AM: That's some sexy handwriting there cloud.

My handwriting looks like a 5 year old, it's readable but it's just very inconsistent and ugly. All the notes I take during class (at University at least) I redo on my computer so it's easier on the eyes and orderly structured.
Title: Re: new electronic toy!
Post by: Crushed on November 13, 2008, 08:36:32 AM: I have horrible hand writing.

It used to always just be bad, now it's terrible. Like, if I write quickly it's just a bunch of squiggles, you honestly cannot read it at all.

If I had my tablet with me right now I'd be able to show you.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on November 13, 2008, 11:11:38 AM: thanks to endless whiteboarding at work, my handwriting has gone from great to incoherent
Title: Re: new electronic toy!
Post by: jiji on November 13, 2008, 12:18:50 PM: Pretty handwriting itt :-*

My handwriting is okay when I actually put an effort in, like, when I know that somebody else will have to read it. When I'm taking notes, there's no chance anybody will ever comprehend that chicken scratch.
