Ok, I've never posted in this forum before, Even after 1000 days of being here (near enough) And i just felt something has come around me over my time with the computer, I play alot of computer games on the PC. I'd have to amdit, Its something i can't really say no to. And yet, I'd love to stop, But i can't, Its an highly addictive thing. Because of this. I type, alot. And these past few years/months i've had exams come about. And something struck me.

I've become so bad at handwriting, though, I've become great at typing..

I hate this feeling that came over me in my 1st english GCSE exam, I wrote something, looked at it. Then would start looking at it and start wondoring at what it looked like :p, Jumble of letters, with two t's strangly merged togther, You could just make out the e and the r at the end.

I plan to start learning handwriting again.. I' honestly write like i've never wrote before. I've got an english exam tomorrow, 1 hour and 30 mins. Hope i do better then the last time.

Well, I felt i'd post something honest, thanks for reading

Handwriting annoys me, I can't write with a pen as fast as my mind pushes out words... so it just gets annoying and itchy. Typing I can keep up, pretty much, with the occasional backspace...

But yeah. I'm happy to have typing over handwriting, because typing has the potential to be faster, and that's all that matters to me really.

They let me do my computing A level on a PC because I was a quicker typist than I was writer and the college was being all politically correct what with me being disabled and all.

As of about a year ago I can't actually grip a pen properly so writing is out of the question now. There are devices to make holding a pen easier, but I don't have the control in my wrist or arms to write legibly either anymore.

To be honest, I never need to use a pen anyway, unless I'm filling out a form and then I get my carer to do it for me and her handwriting's beautiful.

I'm not the only one that gets that and writes jumbled crap sometimes as a result? What a releif.

That's incredibly sweet.

Saying that though, women and the collective female group do seem to have much better handwriting in general... another reason to be jealous, damn them.

I'm a sweet guy. *flutters eyelashes* My desktop wallpaper is a photo of some flowers I took this afternoon - that's how sweet I am.

Actually, that makes me sound gay more than anything ...

Heh, my handwriting could be better too. Does she write in pink, glittery pens Tim? And does she draw mini circles to dot I's and J's? Awww.

Anyone else think literature has changed a lot because people can type so much faster than write?

..that's not fair! I hadn't finished writing, who posted that! Damn me.

I think more people are writing now than ever, and the internet community has encouraged people to make tons and tons of badly written poetry diaries. Not that I'd do that. Ahem.

But I think writing as a communication is becoming stronger than it's been in a good while, at least. But then, you can always say txt msg.
