Write you a letter

The title is a song I'm listening to right now by Ray LaMontagne. Oh! Ok, maybe it's not. It's actually Trouble. Ah well, I'm thinking about letters now.
Aren't letters fun? So much better than emails, or text messages, or phone calls. They're much more personal, from the paper, to the type of pen used. Then there's the handwriting of whoever you're receiving your letter from, it tells you so much about them! Handwriting that slants backwards means they are strongly linked to their past. Fast writing that slants forwards, with the dots of the 'i' ahead of the stick part mean they are impulsive and looking ahead. Small writing = small self esteem. Tall roofs of letters, words with 'ts' and 'ls' and other long stems reaching upwards show daydreamers, optimistic people. Letters like 'gs' and 'js' with tails sweeping downwards show people who are more connected with their more primal, darker instincts. Or at least that's what some book said. My friends and I analysed each other's handwriting and actually found it fairly accurate.
Jack and I are going to write a letter to Douglas Coupland. Someday.
