I appropriated this design on my May envelope to Juliana. I was happy with how it turned out. I'llprobably do more in June. I am freaking out at how fast this month has gone. Thanks for the design idea, Juliana. And you are also invited to share with us your penmanship journey. We are clearly kindred spirits - although you strike me as NOT an odd ball. And yet - this doesn't sound like you either - (what Google gave me when I asked for definition of a non-oddball) someone or something that is conventional, typical, or conforms to expected standards. That sounds boring and not very creative. Perhaps Juliana is one of those delightfully well balanced people who does not go to extremes.

Synonyms for oddball: my favorite is nonconformist.
Others that I like are: original, maverick, bohemian.
I like quixote - but would probably never think to use it.
These are OK: character, zany, odd duck and piece of work
I do not like these at all. They are disparaging:
weirdo, screwball, wacko, loony, oddity, crackpot, nut, kook, fruitcake, flake, nutcase, freak, loon and odd duck.
This is a labeling issue. There seems to be a need for labeling things or establishing categories - but it gets complicated. Not everyone likes to be labeled. There are so many different ways to categorize. We're into one of those topics where I know I have nothing to contribute because they are all ineffable. That might be my favorite word. It applies to everything. OK, that's an overstatement. It applies to almost everything.
Here are the things that are not ineffable. Cold, hot, hungry. If I am any one of those things it's easy to put it into words. Many illness and injury related things can be put into words.
I'm through with this topic. It's too wordy.
