Squiggles

Yesterday, Pebbles gave me a pen. A very nice pen indeed. What I did next came naturally. I proceeded to test it out by writing on some blank pieces of paper.

I'm sure that was what you do when you are out shopping for a new pen. The store would have thoughtfully provided a notepad near the arrays of pens for you to test them on. I've never given much thought to what people actually scribble on those notepads. Until yesterday.

Pebbles had just read this glorious book which talked and illustrated what people normally would write when they test out their pens. Here are the most common examples:
  1. They write out the color of the pen's ink - My Take: People like these must have a talent for stating the obvious.

  2. They squiggle - My take: People like these either like the ocean or their minds are a total blank at the point of writing.

  3. They pen down their names/signature - My Take: People like these must have severe narcissistic tendencies.

But me being me, this is what I wrote:

My Take: The writer is a blank-minded optimistic Malaysian.

*Coolcat Boleh! Yay!!

Believe it or not, regardless what colour the ink of the pen I'm testing, I will invariably write "pen", then "out" and then doodle a little. I guess I'm just weird.

Oh yah, speaking of the book - it's Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. To blow your mind even further, read his wife's, Nicole Krauss, book The History of Love back-to-back. Mind-blowing!

*The suggestee claims nothing because the suggester cannot imply that the suggestee has performed nor executed or committed anything that the suggester is claiming. Therefore suggestee bears no responsibility or damages for all such statements in at the squiggly pen testing on squiggly test pads.
