Anna L has the cutest handwriting and scribbles. Anybody who does handwriting analysis here?

People have always complained about my atrocious handwriting. They have complained and have made fun of it. I know I don’t have the best handwriting, but at least I don’t have to put down other people’s writing just so I can feel good about myself, right?

I’m interested to see your handwriting as well!

But you’re long gone
Yeah you’re long gone now”

I suddenly have this nagging feeling that I’m going to do something really dumb in the coming days XD

But seriously now…how the hell did I get 142? The last time I took an IQ test, I only scored 120.

Because Dhon Jason is my idol…

The tone of the number 5 is constructive freedom, and in your drive to attain this freedom, you will likely be the master of adaptability and change. You are good at presenting ideas and knowing how to approach people to get what you want. Naturally, this gives you an edge in any sort of selling game and spells easy success when it comes to working with people in most jobs. Your popularity may lead you toward some form of entertainment or amusement. Whatever you do, you are clever, analytical, and a very quick thinker.

If there is too much of the 5 energy in your makeup, you may express some the negative attitudes of the number. Your restless and impatient attitude may keep you from staying with any project for too long. Sometimes you can be rather erratic and scatter yourself and your energies. You have a hard time keeping regular office hours and maintaining any sort of a routine. You tend to react strongly if you sense that your freedom of speech or action is being impaired or restricted in any way. As clever as you are, you may have a tendency to make the same mistakes over and over again because much of your response is glib reaction rather that thoughtful application. You are in a continuous state of flux brought by constantly changing interests.

Here’s an interesting note about the name you should use:

Note: Most authorities agree that the full birth name as recorded on your birth certificate is the name that must be used for all calculations involving name. Nicknames, changed names including marriage name changes do not dilute the importance of the name given to you by your parents.

I’ve always gone by with my nickname, only using my birth name for official documents. The results that came out using my birth and mother’s maiden name resulted in an analysis that is more accurate that what I usually get when I use my nickname
