can i get a pen!?
why is it so hard to find a decent pen? i have something i want to write. i have my journal. i have a plethora of average pens. but i don't want average right now, i want above average. i want quality. i want something that goes on smooth yet has a certain authority about it. something worthy of my pristine new black moleskin.
i've searched every room in this house. kitchen! surely there's something in the kitchen. that must be pen central, what with all the phone messages and shopping lists written there. bubkiss. i'm in the living room, rummaging through the assortment of pens, pencils, random exacto knives, and letter openers that my dad has collected there. c'mon! my mom inquires what i'm looking for. i declare emphatically, "i want a pen! i want a *good* pen!" being the person that she is she responds with "well, i have an *okay* pen upstairs by my bible. it's an okay pen." i love that woman; however, an okay pen won't do right now.
i might have to settle for an average bic or papermate. oh, how i hate papermate! this isn't looking good.
so here i am. on the floor. back leaning against the bed. typing away furiously about how i don't have a pen to write with. disappointed.
i wonder if i have one in my car.......onwards!
UPDATE: my car pulls through with a 0.7mm, silky smooth Bic VelocityGel........oh, mama.......
