A collection and some insight into the pens I use and love and a few of the dead ones as they pass their last drops of ink to paper from a pen junky.

This is why I am stressed
There are way too many of these in my life, in my house, in my car and just generally hidden throughout the house. Bags and bins of pens and pencils that SOMEONE should sort. Take this one for example. These were all in a freezer bag hidden in a cabinet in the dining room. I was slightly stressed when I found it, mainly because there was an Auto Sharp OHTO 0.5 mechanical pencil hidden in the bag that I forgot that I even owned but I instantly realized that I missed it.
I am not sure why thar bag exists. I would never write with 90% of the pens in here and my use of wooden pencils has declined majorly since 3rd grade.
Let's be like Dora and explore this mess
Oh... a Geiple's pencil. Geiple's is a funeral home in the tiny postage stamp of a town that I grew up in. I don't know why I own an unsharpened pencil from likely 30-40 years ago at this point.. RANDOM shit. Oh and guess what... if you don't need funeral services or no one that you know if dying anytime soon, you can also...

Also. Art.
I spent the last couple of years really trying to focus in on arts and crafts while. Part of me wanted to see where I could go with art, and part of me just needed that creative outlet. I don't call myself an artist. I know that it's vague and can be applied to many fields. Someone putting together an amazing stone mantle is an artist to me. We all tend to find ourselves and my art self is still looking around for a firm hold on things.
My biggest thing is that I don't worry about art. I don't do it to stress relieve, but I also don't want it to create stress. A few commissions have done that to me and I get them done, but I would rather just sit down with a few different kinds of mediums and create. Then at the end of the day sell it, or give it to a friend. I have one painting I pull out every couple months and slowly add to it, it's cathartic. But also...

Wait, are we still blogging?
I have been dying to
pass along the story of how I got an amazing chicken cordon bleu
recipe...kidding. So, I still use a pen and I still
have lots of paper. And- I still can somewhat create sentences that
sometimes make a little sense. So- it is time to crank up the part of the
brain that is the rustiest. Where have I been? Living.
Tightly, in a bubble as most reasonable people are- and that end in sight thing
keeps changing its target. So, we buy pens, we buy ink. We create
shitty reviews. It is what we do.
In my strange way of
deciding what pens I am going with for the day, I sometimes feel the need to
stick with one pen, for the day, for the week...until I kill all of the
ink inside of it and THEN I can move on to a new pen. This Jetstream Uni .38
makes me feel this way. Then it would make me feel bad that it is out of ink
and I would have to buy more.
It's near perfect, thin, light, consistent. I don’t have a writing sample on this. Why?
1. I am not even sure the lights are still on in this blog.
2. I have had
enough caffeine to jumpstart a 72 Cadillac and I might be a touch shaky.
(coffee jokes, ugh)
3. yeah, only 2. Sorry.
I am not saying I am
back. That would lead to me disappearing again for 3 years. I am just
saying I have a ton of cool pens I should talk about.
Cheers. Missed
you.
