I did that when I wrote at school, especially in the science labs where they have those big, smooth black tables that are so cool when it's hot out and strangely perfect for anything, including naps, dancing, building forts out of candy boxes, playing memory with all 54 cards, and running. How I miss those tables. :-(
Mostly, though, I wrote in bed, so in lots of strange positions, including in the air while lying on my back. This is rather difficult and wreaks havoc on already mostly illegible handwriting. I spent so many hours in strange positions scribbling in cheap notebooks! And now when I try to write anywhere but on a computer or at a desk/table, it feels awkward and my hand won't quite work correctly. Perhaps it is part of getting old? Or perhaps I need more practice.
Awww, good memories! Thanks, Katie! And now you know you're not the only one. ^_^
