harpy birfday to meeeeeee
Okay so my birthday was yesterday and I worked worked worked and then went to Dorian's to have cake and tea. Justin came too, so that was nice to see two friends. Yay for low key evenings. I only had people sing to me THREE times. . .two of which were Dorian and one was Gabe (yeah thanks buddy). I promise not to kill you three. . . *sigh* I really do hate that song.
But it's alright, I got over it. . . and enjoyed the cake.
Today my dad and I finally had enough time to play at the pen store. My birthday present was a fountain pen. I am very excited to use it. I have a Lamy, which is a very nice "starter pen" and I don't think the guy was going to let me walk out of the store with anything else. Fancy as some of the other pens were, the quality lies in the Aurora line. HOLY CRAP they were stunning to play with. I played with a $59 version (it just came in yesterday. . happy birthday to me haha!) but it only comes with cartridges. BAH! So I wanted to see what a $100 Aurora was like, and just plain wow. It was quite amazing. It just moved across the paper like nothing. . . Gorgeous. I want one. But that's after I get used to the fountain pen world of writing and handling.
And what do you clean your fountain pen with?? Take a guess.
Annnnddd the answer is. . . .
Windex. WTF?? Dilute Ammonia, thank you very much. . . so yeah.
I have two ink bottles to go with my Lamy. Black Cherry and Velvet Black. I didn't like the blue one so much, but perhaps I'll go back to it at some point or just get a cartridge of it.
So if you want a letter from me. . . let me know, and I'll scribble something off to you. The first letter is going to my Uncle since he ADORES fountain pens more than me. . . since he used them in school and such. And he has his mother's pen. . i REALLY want to see her pen. . it must be stunning.
I really should scan in some of those pictures of my dad's family. . . . wow.
But I leave for work in. . 15-ish minutes.
