SO I said hello and asked, "So you're a writer eh?" Yes. "So, do you do cursive?" Now I thought as a newspaper writer, she would be aware of the cursive controversy... But she said, "Oh no, I am terrible at cursive. At school they made us learn that, and they wouldn't let us use pens, and I hold the pencil wrong and keep breaking the tip." I told her I do my crossword puzzles in pen.
Did I mention blonde? And cheerleader cute, and bubbly. I guess irony doesn't work on those.
