So I had a minor hissy fit last night when I realized every single pen I picked up DIED after a few words of writing.
As it was 3 am, I had to settle for scratching my way through a page or two and then leaving it at that...
I need new pens.

So, fellow journalers, what type of pens do you live and die for?

In primary school, I had that pen and everyone else had this one:



and I felt all exciting and exotic in comparison. Because my pen was THIN! And BLUE! And MYSTERIOUS!

I miss primary school!

Hahaha! Yes, I had those, too, but they have bad associations for me because my teacher forced me to write in joined-up handwriting with them, otherwise I had to use pencil :( Life was tough.

We weren't allowed to write in anything except pencil until about Year 5, so after I got over my initial suspicion of WHAT IS THIS STRANGE POWER WHICH CANNOT BE RUBBED OUT?, I was way too over-excited by the prospect of writing in pens. My primary teachers probably have a lot to answer for!

We had to write joined-up too! I only found the courage to write with letters that a) DID NOT TOUCH EACH OTHER! and b) DID NOT HAVE PERFECT LEAD-IN STROKES! a couple of years ago. This is tragic yet true!

That is tragic! I completely resented being made to write in joined-up when I didn't want to at all (plus my joined-up was the most ugly thing you've ever seen), so whenever I could and as soon as I left year 6 (for secondary school where you USE PENS ALL THE TIME omg) I started writing in print again! So HA, Miss. Fletcher.
