I have so many songs, I forget I have some of them. Something comes up on my playlist and I'm like "WTF is this?" Then I look it up, remember, and go ^_^ Oh, yeah!
Sad, sad, sad.

Well... it's wasn't my intent to turn you away from your studies. ^^;
Old Church Slavonic is more or less the alphabet as it was when originally conceived. You mostly see it any more in churches, on icons, or fancy... things. The scripts style used for your dangly is of a similar style as Old Church, though the letters themselves are very much modern Cyrillic.
They just use the style 'cause they're out to get me it looks prettier.
Cursive Japanese is the most evil thing ever created by man, with the possible exception of cursive Chinese. x.x It actually makes less sense than Arabic. :P

It's really old writing that looks really good, but no one except monks with little to do the fill the hours anyway can read. And then they borrow the font to use with the modern letters to make everything look "better".
Kinda like when we get happy with the fancy calligraphy on certificates.
I fsking hate calligraphic Japanese. It's pretty...but I dont' think even the Japs can read it. They lie through their fucking teeth. "Oh, it means 'by the shadow of the moon, I wait for thee" or some crap when all it probabl says is "Your mama was here and she rocked all night"
