I like to save money, but sometimes I become restless after I've gone a long time without a new additi... |

| My handwriting depends on my mood or how much of a rush I'm in. I vary between scripts indiscriminately if I'm just writing generally or dictating: http://i.imgur.com/bHi5r.png If I'm copying something out, then I will write with cursive script: http://i.imgur.com/y9qGf.png Sometimes I invent my own... |

I'm mainly bothered by the audio if I'm honest. http://safariadblock.com/ When you install it, there is an option under the 'Customize' tab: Show ads everywhere except for these domains... |

| I use all my digits on my left hand at some point, and all except the pinky on my right hand. But, primarily, I use the index and middle fingers on both hands (plus thumbs for the spacebar). The other fingers have minor supporting roles. I don't need to look at the keyboard most of the time, but som... |
