I liked how I used to sign my old name …<\/p>\n

My signature in the days of boy was great,<\/p>\n

Totally illegible,<\/p>\n

Yet distinctive.<\/p>\n

People knew it was my signature,<\/p>\n

Even though it looked nothing like the name Joe Hairdy.<\/p>\n

(Feel free to infer what you want about my psyche from such a handwriting trait, there’s some really good stuff there ! :))<\/p>\n

But lately I’ve been signing my new name a great deal …<\/p>\n

And I’ve found I haven’t quite yet bonded with my signature.<\/p>\n

I love how I sign Amy …<\/p>\n

I’ve got two different ways,<\/p>\n

Both are way kewl.<\/p>\n

I’m kinda okay with my middle initial when I write it …<\/p>\n

Though the whole M thing with the humps can kinda come out screwed up if I get carried away on the up and down rhythm of the pen,<\/p>\n

But my last name …<\/p>\n

Very weak.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t flow with my signature.<\/p>\n

And doesn’t seem like it fits.<\/p>\n

Now don’t get me wrong,<\/p>\n

I like my last name …<\/p>\n

I just haven’t figured out a way to sign it yet with Amy-style,<\/p>\n

You know …<\/p>\n

Classy, distinctive, and memorable …<\/p>\n

Not over the top, excessively girly or trashy.<\/p>\n

Hey, a girl can be different from her signature, can’t she? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Anyways, it’s something I’m going to want to keep in mind when interviewing potential future husbands …<\/p>\n

I’m sorry, you know I adore you, but I’m going to have to say no … my research has proven that with your last name … it’s physically impossible for me to write the required two adjacent, cursive F’s together in an identical fashion … and the stress resulting from the persistent non-uniformity would just be too much for a relationship to bear.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Oh well, looks like I’ll never be an Amy Stauffer. *shrug* \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
