I never formally learned to write, and by virtue of the fact that I am hideously double jointed in nearly every point in my hand, I hold pens in an odd way.
So my handwriting is terrible. In fact, unreadable.

when I was a child, my father's form of punishment was "lines"
similar to writing on the blackboard at school things like "I will not blankety blank" etc
except hundreds of pages of them
the fastest way to do them was to do columns of the words as fast as you can, ignoring how to actually form words, if it was good enough, it was good enough
and thus
my handwriting is pretty terrible if I don't try to make it legible. But I can read it. It's like having a secret code without the need for the actual code
Then when I started college and never had to do worksheets and daily homework and only had to type papers my handwriting went to shit. I also blame lectures for my chicken scratch. Gotta write so damn fast and all that.
And for whatever reason when we were in 3rd grade we learned cursive because we were told you had to write exclusively in cursive in 4th grade and above. That never happened and consequently, I've pretty much forgotten cursive except for the letters that make up my signature. Anything beyond that and occasionally I'll invent a letter because fuck you I write script.

Here are my two from Flay's request in the AC chat thread.
The only reason that my hand-writing is neat is because I figured that it couldn't hurt to be skilled in lettering in case I ever got work as a comic book letterer. It doesn't hurt to be diverse. This is also the reason I write in all caps.
I can't do cursive. They attempted to teach me until like 6 days in the teacher just gave up and told me I would never have to learn ever. I can barely READ cursive.
Edit: i meant to put "learn CURSIVE ever", but i find it funnier with out it.

I grew out of cursive in high school after a teacher told me it'd be better to print. Wish I'd never listened to her. If you have illegible writing it should at least be disguised as something fancy.

Maybe someday I'll take some time to make it legible

YOU ARE BACK
It is Keith.
but it said "I hold my hand in an odd position when I write. P.S. Cursive is for suckers."
I'm left-handed and I hold a pencil with my pinkie at the tip and my index finger almost at the eraser, with my thumb opposite my middle finger
vaguely like chopsticks
i have never met anyone else who holds a pencil like this or who has even someone who does
oh yeah there's two Ls. i thought that looked wrong when i wrote it.
are you brain-damaged?
did someone give you a sippy cup of o'doul's or something
