Just bumping up the thread, in case there is any other kind soul around who wishes to contribute.

Cursive might be a thing nobody uses anymore, but in general, I think education into traditional things needs to increase. As a rule of thumb, you can apply traditional skills to technology, but not the reverse.

I do, though no one taught me. It's just how my handwriting is, it's always been like that, comes naturally for me. As far as I remember, cursive wasn't something that you learnt at school here in Spain, they just taught you penmanship.

I totally agree with general education into traditional things. There are so many pupils nowadays whose handwriting is a pain to look at and decipher! I guess they'd rather type everything... so the time when all exams become computerized must be close.

Looking at the bright side though, it will probably mean a lot less work for teachers to grade them.

Edited: It isn't calligraphy what's taught in Spain, but penmanship. Just found out about the difference in English.

Hmm that depends do you volunteer ? Just kidding but I like that song.

Are you proposing? Sorry, but volunteering would make the text itself nonsensical.

Yep, it's great.

Eh if your good looking.....yep

Well I couldn't tell you for sure, 'cause beauty's in the eyes of the beholder. But I'm not going to make a deal with you, anyway.

I'm not though, I like to have fun!

Not at all, Ambrie! My mom and one of my best friends are Capricorn too, and I can tell you they're a lot of things but boring, and not that serious!

Thanks for sharing!

Over the years, I've noticed that people usually share similar character traits depending on what their star sign is. Of course, each person is unique, and I'm not saying that everyone born under the same star sign will think, feel or act alike, that would be silly. It's just that I really find it curious to frequently observe how personality and sign do tally.

As I've been here for a while, I'd like to know what several members' star signs are, so I can see if it fits with how they strike me on these forums. So please, don't be shy... and kindly satisfy my curiosity!

I was born a Scorpion.

Cheers!

Ok, I'll satisfy your curiosity dear Sarah_Rey

I´m the goat (Aries) and in the Chinese calendar I´m a snake.

My dear kwimy, thank you so much! Haha, I like how it sounds, but now I'm curious to know why you modified my name to that!

Hmm, I wouldn't have said you were an Aries... but it's interesting anyway. And thanks for the Chinese calendar thing, I hadn't thought about it. Your animal is way cooler than mine!

You´re very welcome The modification of your name is due to a famous TV clairvoyant (Sandro Rey) thought you would sound.
Some people say Scorpios are poisonous, if I go by that never would have thought that you´re Scorpio.

Your Chinese animal is also cool, pork exploit all its parts and is very tasty,sure you are as of those Vietnamese pig,little and cute,OINK! OINK!

Ok haha, yes, I know who he is, but I didn't think about it at first! Well, Sandro and I only have three things in common: we're both keen on dark arts, thin and have long dark hair. But I'll tell you one thing, he's an Aries!

Aw, thanks dear! I guess I've got the poison, but normally choose not to use it... it all depends, though.

Hahaha, I had never thought being a Pig was actually that cool, thank you! I'm little, in fact... as for the other qualities, it wouldn't be nice of me to be the one who says I'm cute... or tasty, for that matter.

We are 3 brothers and I´m the middle one.

Yeah, this world is full of "coincidences"... my younger brother (well, actually I've only got one haha) is Virgo too!

I'll edit this instead of double post beneath kwimy who mentioned it first...in the Chinese calendar, I'm a monkey.

Okay, I had to Google "hoopy frood" haha
I've never read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but my brother has, and I think I can figure out what you mean... well, sort of.

Interesting addition that of the Chinese calendar... mine is probably the least appealing: I'm a Pig!

Thank you BouldRake, I think being a libra suits you.

I've always found dark arts to be fascinating. Much could be discussed about this topic, and I'm sure Astrology in particular might raise some high controversy... however, this thread is not meant to start an argument on anything; it's made out of curiosity.

It's a good one, indeed.

I was going to say "the french kiss", but since someone beat me to it, I'll say... the bra.

Yeah haha

And I remember going in a friend's car while listening to this one, and my friend using the handbrake instead of the pedal brake everytime we approached a traffic light, so the car would stop in fits and starts.
