The Handwriting Post

As a designer I have always been interested in handwriting and fonts; how some people print (like me!) or how others are able to produce perfectly coiled letters that simply fall into themselves. I pretty much love all aspects of it so I was excited to see Miss Jamie post this little handwriting game on her blog a few days ago. I was thinking how much I liked this idea while I scrolled through her entry and then I noticed I was tagged to do that same post! Awesome. Here is my version; the questions and answers will be listed below along with a new list of people who I think would love this:
1. What is your name / blogger name?
Courtney Bruesch, I don't really have any alter eogs online and tend to go by my name for everything I do
2. What is your blog URL?
YouWillWontYou.Blogspot.Com, I think you guys know this since you are here reading it
3. Write "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog"
4. Write Your Favorite Quote
"If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, dont fuck them." - John Waters
I have told you guys about this quote before and I use it all the time. I love John Waters and I think this is a valid quote for many people I know. Plus, it makes me laugh 'cause I can just picture him saying it.
5. What is your favorite song?
This changes for me all the time but right now my favorite song is 'Please My Favorite Don't Be Sad' by The World/ Inferno Friendship Society.
6. What is your favorite music right now?
Same as always, WIFS (see above!), Amanda Palmer / The Dresden Dolls, Neko Case are the only artists in my 25 most played songs in iTunes.
7. Is there anything else you would like to add about your handwriting?
Most of my life people gave me shit about my handwriting. For years by brother and I had essentially the same handwriting. Did you know your handwriting in genetically determined? People have come around lately though and learned to love my writing as much as I do. If you know me I think you can see how my writing suits me; I have never been the bubbled letter kinda girl and I'm totally ok with that.
8. Choose Thee Bloggers to follow suit.

I *love* your handwriting! It reminds me of my favourite art teacher from elementary and middle school, who always made beautiful hand-lettered signs for school events. :)
I agree that it would make a fantastic font, and if you're ever interested in font-isizing your handwriting, let me know--I could do it for you. :)

P.S.
I'm totally doing this later! Oh, and I absolutely LOVE that quote. :D
