I want your handwriting.
Have you ever considered how strange it is that handwriting fonts have come to convey a kind of folksy authenticity in the design lexicon of our age? It’s disingenuous. Handwriting fonts - especially the ones you see everywhere (Comic Sans, Papyrus, Lucida Handwriting) - are mechanically reproduced and manipulated into a kind of cloying, fake, plastic perfection.
Penmanship is mostly a lost art - it is (rightfully) taught less and less in school, and the opportunities for people to see your handwriting are few and far between. As a result, modern handwriting looks really cool. What’s authentic and charming and inviting about real handwriting are the little imperfections that prove it came from a real person.
SO - I have decided to become a collector of handwriting.
Here’s how it works:
- You reblog this or email/Facebook me
- I’ll arrange for you to pick up a template
- You’ll fill it out
- I will create a TrueType font from your handwriting and send it to you
As I collect handwriting, I will periodically post things rendered in the handwriting of the donor - things they have taught me, important aspects of our relationship, jokes they have told me… we’ll see.
Please donate today.
I’m so in.
Harry Potter exhibit coming to the Ontario Science Centre
“You’ll be able to walk in the film’s environments, sit in Hagrid’s chair, pull out a Mandrake in Herbology, and even throw a Quaffle like in a Quidditch match.”
I’m so pumped to pull out a Mandrake.
I may need to take a road trip to Toronto. Because HOLY CRAP.
i feel like shit emotionally tonight so i'm not going to be on Tumblr. i'm gonna set up the queue and work on homework.

I’m sorry you’re sad. I think you’re pretty awesome.

Well I wasn’t sure whether I should participate or not, but here it is. Asked for or not, I present to you: Topless Tuesday
I’m sorry. I laughed…the four leaf clover cracked me up.
And why pray tell is that? I am Irish after all. We’re born with one somewhere on our bodies. True story.
True story. We Irish all have shamrocks on us. It’s the source of our superpowers.

LOVE this song.
We're getting 6-15 inches of snow here over the next two days
God fucking dammit.
I am sixteen going on seventeen...
February, you cannot come soon enough.
But only if 28 starts better than 27 did.
You know what 28 will have that 27 didn’t? BLINGEES.
Hey TDGS, I think your birthday is the day before mine? I mean, counting 8 weeks into the future is a bit of challenge for little old math challenged me, but I think you might be Feb 2nd? I am Feb 3rd!
Also, 2009 was a shitty year. I think 2010 is going to better, especially for we Aquariuses. Aquarii? If nothing else you are apparently eccentric and original and can therefore conquer the WORLD :)
You know who wins?
Sparklepants and Nerdgasms. The year can’t help but start out right if there are blingees, and yes indeed, I share my birthday with that shadow watching rodent.
I do believe we’re called Aquarians. But I like Aquarii better, so let’s start a trend.
