LOL  I think my 1-3rd grade principal had memorized my home phone number.
*G*

I only print when I want other people to be able to read what I've written.
My handwriting doubles as an impenetrable personal code!

However, I've been told that my Chinese characters are beautiful by one of
the Chinese teachers who wants a copy of this list of characters I've been
copying from the dictionary to use in his classes to try to shame his
students into writing legibly.  Ain't no way he's gettin' it, but he's asked
twice and gone all over campus talking about it.  Rather humiliating.  Of
course, one of my eleventh graders looked at my handwritten roll sheets and
pronounced my characters "So ugly!"  Then he looks up at me and asks, "Did
you write those?" "Yes. Please take your seat."  "Wow, so ugly."

Aren't teenagers delightful?  (Has it been long enough since I was a
teenager that I can *say* things like that?  I'm old!)
