We all have a few little actions that we use when we write with humans, but I've found myself often sticking to the same ones. After hearing some people mention something of a similar tune, I've compiled a list of little gestures and movements that humans frequently do. Unless otherwise specified, I put all of these in, though this list wouldn't be what it is without the help of [member=8]firebird[/member] [member=1397]greahound[/member] [member=14]joseph[/member] and [member=3477]Luciferr[/member] Thanks guys!
