Nerdishh reveals that how you write can show your personality.

If we all sat in our chairs when we were in Elementary/Primary school, looking at the neatly-printed worksheets and trying to copy down letters exactly as we see them, shouldn't we all, if you think about it, write the exactly same way -- like the neatly printed handwriting on the sheets that we learned our writing from? Ever wonder why as we get older, our writing style changes? People who study handwriting believe it's because our writing changes to our personality, and because of that, if you study the way a person writes, you can tell a bit about their personality.

Graphology, or handwriting analysis, can be traced as far back as the second century, when the Roman historian Suetonius Tranquillus studied Augustus Caesar's handwriting, and said that because it was not separated sufficiently, Augustus was mean. This study of Caesar's handwriting and then their drawing conclusions of him as a person began the idea that one's handwriting could help determine their personality.

DAWMUgal and CupofCake tell everyone how they can make a difference.

Animal testing. It's a gruesome subject, eh? And we both know we all would like to help this cause, because we feel that the animals can't speak for themselves, so we should be their voices. It also incorporates cosmetics which we LOVE (DAWMU and "Why-Vogue", remember?), into something that can actually help ourselves and the poor monkeys, dogs, and mice being tortured in these so-called laboratories. Well, we made a difference for the animals, and for the humans. Read on to find out how we did it, and how you can help.

DAWMUgal's mission:

I went to my local library and conducted the following survey:

1. Are you aware of testing cosmetics and skin care products on animals?
Yes, somewhat, or no.
2. Do you think testing cosmetics and skin care products on animals is wrong?
Yes, somewhat, or no.
3. What could a normal person do to stop the beauty and skin care industry to stop testing on animals?
4. What beauty and skin care products do you use?
5. Would you be willing to lead a cruelty-free life?
Yes, somewhat, or no.
