Office supplies are pretty.
I am posting about a severe problem I have with buying actually quite practical things that I unfortunately don't put enough actual use to. I apologize.
I think I have an unhealthy obsession with planners. Like, seriously unhealthy. Not just planners, really, just desktop and/or office crap. I was bored and decided to find some sites that have korean fashion, despite me being not so much stick-skinny as unfortunately busty and on the chunky side (though working out has been making some real head-way towards getting rid of that issue). But instead of looking at clothes, which I guess I hate doing online, anyway, because I'm all about touching cloth and ~being one with the texture~, I've been looking at planners - the glorious fill-in-the-blank kind so that I could basically buy, say, twenty different ones right this moment, which I really want to do, and pick and choose which one I want to use from year-to-year, without the obligation of, "Crap, I bought a 2010 (or insert previous year here) calendar late in the year and now more than half of it is wasted because the year is almost overrrrrrrr." And that was one sentence.
I am thinking of buying a few of these, though, and, er, maybe some notebooks. But this is a horrible problem because I have way too much stuff as it is, and, god, I shouldn't be buying planners when I'm just going to keep them in a box forever because this year has already started and I have something for 2011 as it is. And I'm sure I have about a million not-quite-full notebooks lying around in my possession somewhere.
And pens. I can't not just want pens. The thing with pens, or any writing utensil for that matter, is this: I AM LEFT-HANDED. It is ridiculously hard to find just the right pen when the biggest issue I have is smudging like there's no tomorrow. So, well, I end up buying pens, think I like them, then decide that they totally suck and just stop using them. Oh, and, you know, buy some different pens, because that's how I roll. The smudging thing would probably not be such a big issue with pens if I didn't really, very much so, prefer the super-easy writing, hardly-has-to-touch-the-page, wet-jelly-ink sorts of pens. So I basically back myself into a corner. And, just like with mechanical pencils, I've been looking all my life - well, that's a lie, for sure, but meh - for a pen that fits all my other criteria plus has the thinnest, finest point. I don't even really know why, I just don't like the look of my writing when it comes out kind of bulky looking. Which is to say, I'm crazy and think way too much about these things.
And now, unfortunately, I'm going to go back to drooling over office supplies from the safe distance of my home computer. Thankfully, I'm too lazy right now to get out my debit card, or I might be broke when I wake up in the morning.
