Pen Fetish

, originally uploaded by Jason Tavares

I have a problem. Some would not consider it a problem, but I have far too many interests. When they come, they remain, like a fossil that is under the grim of daily life but unforgotten.

My latest interest is FOUNTAIN PENS. I've always been intrigued by pens. But ball-point types. I started my search for the perfect writing pen since I was 13 or 14. I've always had that thing where I need to have a certain pen to write. People in my family can't understand why I couldn't just pick any pen, and I can't explain adequately enough either. My current favourite pen is by Pentel Liquid Gel Ink Energel WWF 0.5 pen. I haven't seen the design anywhere since I bought it sometime last year. Besides that I also adore Uni-ball Signo DX 0.38, I've so many hanging around in various colours. They're very popular in this country. Also, there's the Pilot G-Tec-C4 0.4 in black.

Then I saw this pen and the handwriting (about an hour or two before), and I am in awe. Suddenly out of the blue I want to own one and learn how to use it. I've my eye on the Lamy Safari as a starter. Then we can see where this interest develops.
