Library Books and Scribbled Handwriting

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •  

ever notice that all the writings in library books are of this oddly sophisticated, elevated cursive handwriting that is hardly legible? and the highlighting and underlining seems to be at random intervals, skipping the analysis and facts and focusing on the transitions between the two? My focus seems to have fallen to the margins, the comments on other's comments. For what am i using the book for? To analyze the use of flowers, specifically the "rose mutable", from a play of the homosexual and exceedingly liberal radical Spanish playwright Lorca. my handwriting, while specific and easily identified by my peers, is not of the intellectual. does this mean i shouldn’t write in the book? do only the graduate students and professors earn that right as their handwriting deteriorates with use? my handwriting is still strong, still upright and full of gleeful outlook. i haven’t cornered myself in a study....all knowledge can be still be conquered. so i don’t write in the book, my opinion is still too optimistic for the world of intellectuals. i live these last four year in bliss, allowing my handwriting to remain unique, happy, enthusiastic. and thus i return my focus away from the period of transition, and back to the present. where the characters follow the passage of the rose and my grade depends on my representation of this fact in set, costume and concept. ill leave the worries to the graduates.

I always feel akward writing in books, even when they're mine, or used. It just feels like graffitti.
