bidding adieu to pens

Whilst most of my letters and writings are carried out on the word processor, I must confess I really, really like proper writing paper. I am really girly in my taste, I like thick, creamy or lilac paper, sometimes embossed with a single rose and sometimes with a little side pattern of violets and roses. Naturally there are matching envelopes :-) I should like to use a fountain pen but I have writing that is not terribly neat, so a biro looks much nicer. I don't collect paper as such, but I have notepaper commemorating the anniversary of a local college, and I have post cards which I bought when I was a child but could not bear to send as they were too pretty!

You've reminded me of something I tend to do. Collect TABLETS or JOURNALS! I love monkeys so I got all these "Yo Girl!" monkey ones from Wal*Mart. I got them ALL I think! I have like over 10 of them and NOT all are filled up. I constantly TRY to fill them up. I keep telling myself NO more tablets till you use the others up. I LOVE Lisa Frank ones and I have like all these little ones, I got all 12 $1.00 each. I got these other kind a bit bigger also Lisa Frank. I collected I think there were 12 of that too. They cost like $2.00 each. I DONT even use them all! I have pens too TONS AND TONS! I try to use them but sometimes its like huh? We just moved so I only recently found ALL my pens. And now I'm overwhelmed with all my stuff to write on. So now I gotta slow down and stop trying to buy tablets OR pens. I thought I was the only pen and tablet collector out there. I feel better thank you! I actually prefer computer to pen and paper but do use those as well :))I blog online but keep a real diary too. Its all good!

even in the presence of modern technology, like chatting and emailing, i still put my brain, hand and pen to work. i write letters to my boyfriend who lives in another country and he writes letters for me, too. i find handwritten mails more personal and touching than just emails. i always have a pen and a paper on my desk. these are essential for me.

Though I am most of the times on computer but I have not bid adieu to pens, I still keep on writing and collect as many pen as I can.Even notepads and pencils I have a variety and use it as well.

I collect notebooks, too. Although I very rarely write in them, because I very rarely handwrite due to Cerebral Palsy, my disability. I tend to choose notebooks based on liking the covers and such; I also tend to pick up a notebook if I'm on vacation to remember my trip.

It depends on my mood...I vascillate between the two.
