> My writing actually has quite a dramatic flair to it now and again. My family has told me that I have an 'executive' signature.

I, too, have received many comments about my signature. "You should be a doctor with a signature like that." --Whatever. Cashiers frequently say that I "won't have a problem with someone forging *that*." I take as a testiment to my uniqueness.

With a big circular scribble?? At one point in my youth, I dotted my 'i's with little circles. I think this started as a necessity to actually *see* a dot. I had very cheap pens, and simply touching the pen to the paper was insufficient at making a dot, so I had to actually move the pen in order to make a mark; it bacame a circle. One techer requested that I stop; I guess they were starting to get too large.

I haven't written in cursive since somewhere around the end of high school or my year in college. That's probably for the best, I was starting to have trouble reading it, most lower case letters would flatten out into a little wave. It resembled short-hand in a way. A word such as "win" would essentially be a little wave with a dot above it.
