Things I Love Thursday
- My new nib, my new nib, my new nib! I’ve always liked italics, but this is the first premium quality one I’ve had: it was definitely worth it.
- Montblanc ink - the ones I’ve tried have all shaded nicely, behaved well in pens, and come in rather cool bottles
- Getting letters
- My wonderful Mother, for many reasons
- Having all my hair purple again

Paper review: Tesco Finest 120 gsm.
I apologise for these being photos, rather than scans: my old scanner and new laptop aren’t the best of friends ( Read more... ) -
Pens of the week for weeks two and three
I don't have actual content right now, because I'm too tired, so instead, I post a picture of the contents of my pen case, which is actually a Vision Express glasses case.

Pen and ink collection
I photographed my pen and ink collection. Typically, there are three pens missing from the pictures: the red/black Frontier that I got for my 15th birthday, which seems to have vanished off the face of the earth. I fear it has been 'borrowed' and, most likely, broken; the Pilot Pluminx I just got, because it was by the computer and I forgot ( Read more... ) -

- Book sales
- My ‘poetry shelf’ now spanning three shelves
- Foggy mornings
- Suddenly noticing that at some point over the last few ( Read more... )

A letter
As a break from essay-planning, I wrote a letter.

I've been meaning to post pictures of one of my letters for a while, but the last one I did ( Read more... ) -
"Before long, the walking dead appeared at the funeral. It was a relief."
The above line was wonderful, so I needed to quote it somewhere on my El Jay. It's from a news story about a man presumed dead. I have to say, I feel sorry for the friends and family of the man who actually was dead, though. The story doesn't have any sympathy for them. -
TiLT
I wrote it on Thursday, mostly, I just didn't post it. It still counts.
- Being me again - by which I mean going to university during the day, reading for most of the night. I don’t have to try to be something I’m not any more. On a superficial level, that includes having my hair dark purple again (although I redyed it last week, but it still ( Read more... )
