I just took up writing in cursive some two years ago. SO far so good, though I’m having difficulty making my J’s, I’s, and F’s look different from each other.

hybrid diary writing

How about hybrid diary writing? Once, in a group of 10 chatting after lunch:
me: (to FJ) Oh by the way FJ, I brought home your luggage bag. It’s upstairs now.
RG: Hmm… so what do you want FJ to say to you?
me: Uhmm… Thank you?

I was amused to learn that Noel G. (?) composed this song in reaction to the depression-flavored lyrics common to rock songs during the early 90s.
Oasis – Live Forever

All the things that I want to be

Nows the time to find out why
I think youre the same as me
We see things theyll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
