School shuns tech, teaches fountain pen

Hey, this reminds me of my former school where they strict rules where we had to wear a uniform, which was a no brainer and not a big deal. But then they continued to restrict other things as well. Like students must use a fountain pen and they regulated what type of pen and color ink. We also had to carry briefcases as book bags. That ok, but not when you develop calluses on your hands because briefcases are not really meant for the average student. I wished the administrators would have taken that into account, but all they cared about was putting up a respectable image.

We would also have handwriting lessons. Don’t remember much except that you were suppose to join the letters in a certain way. Of course, all those lessons went to waste. Here I could write however I pleased. And during my high school days here, I developed what I consider to be the standard handwriting of teenage girls—that big, non-joining style complete circles as dots. I can’t adequately describe it here, but I think people know what I’m talking about.

I think I still have a few left over fountain pens, and some ink cartridges as well. I used those Parker fountain pens, btw. I’ve been thinking about using them again with my moleskine notebooks. I should look for them. I should, but I packed them somewhere up there in my closet. It’s going to be a pain to look for them.

The only thing saving me from insanity

Bordeaux, my sweet, sweet cookies. Thank you for saving me from procrastinator hell. I'm engulf in tests and readings that should have been done ages ago. Instead, my spend all that time reading and reading, but of course, it wasn't class related, and so it doesn't count as studying. Hmm. Tasting the sugary sweetness is releasing me from procrastinating hell.

Anyways, I'd figure if this isn't working, I'm going to get high on my 16 RAINBOW COLORED SHARPIES!!! That should do the trick. I truly believe that SHARPIES carry within them the ability to turn any normal kid cuckoo whilst using one to carry out normal stationery duties. You don't even have to sniff them. Just open and the cap and the magic will flow through you. Plus, you can draw pretty pictures with SHARPIES. See, it's magic. I tell ya.

post-me to-it

Virtual Post-Its. Awesome. Wow. I have this crazy attraction to Post-It notes. I love stationery. Love it. I love it. I love it (sort of my Molly Shannon moment). This is perfect! My new toy. My little piece of heaven.
