Well. Im all caught up with Lonely. Off to start Brahms. Is this a noona romance? Ok this is dumb and its really dumb I just noticed but: ok, when I was little (and now as well, I guess) I was weird. I thought Inwas allergic to straight lines as every time I saw them (and particularly power lines) I would get really itchy. Never mind that there are literally straightlines everywhere. That logic carried no watwr with itty isa. But another thing that I was weird with is words, or rather letters. I didnt like letters that were tall (your ts, ls, hs and etc) and I didnt like letters with dangly bits (ys, gs, ps and etc). I liked letters that were all the same height and stayed on the line. Words like car and are. Its funny because my first middle and last names are just a smorgasbord of tall and dangly letters.
Amd just right this second I noticed that noona and romance are both made up of my favorite kind of letters. None of those untidy dangly bits. None of those skyscrapers. All just even on the line. Weird I know. But I needed to share it after I noticed it!

      see, now here’s where I admit that I’ve always liked the letters that dangle because you could write them with a bit of flair. And cursive, real penmanship lesson cursive, made lots more letters dangly.

        I liked the dangly letters more later in life, after I learned cursive. At one point the y in my name could legit take up the first 4 lines of a page. But I mist confess I still like the neatness of those words. Its probably why I like isa so much. No dangly bits!

        I’m with you – I was always mad at how boring looking my name was (all small letters, little Isa would have love it); my only solace was that it is almost symmetrical. But when I found out that most people spell it with a “y” instead of an “i” I was so mad at my parents for picking the boring spelling, though I’ve come to appreciate it now. Thankfully, my last name is 3 letters and allowed me to be extra flourish-y with the “H” when I was learning cursive.

        But you know what I really loved that my bother had that I didn’t? Double letters. Bro has an “ee” in his name and I don’t know why, but those double letters we so cool to me as a kid.

        Clearly I spent a not small amount of time thinking about this as a child.

          I hear you on the double letters being cool – I had them in my surname and it was super fun (for some reason) as a child to say it as “double e” when spelling it instead of “e e” …..this wore off somewhere along the way because my married surname also has a double but I always spell them both out, which I have only just realised now.

      I instinctively knew as a kid which letters were male and female. No idea why I even though about it. I loved the dangly letters the most and like @egads liked cursive for giving me more dangly letters. I also hated cursive for not giving me capital letters I liked for the beginning of any of my names thus forcing me to spend hours as a teen redesigning these letters to please myself when I wrote my signature.

        I totally came up with my own system of capital letters for cursive, and even some low case letters. Mostly simplified them so they didn’t take up so much space and use unnecessary motions.
