Pens.

so i know you're all dying to wonder why i'm grounded for life, but i decided to not focus on that. even though i do have an enormously long draft that could be posted any time i want on what i think about this whole 'grounding' thing, but i won't go there.

annnnnyways! like i was about to say...have you ever met someone who absolutely loves a certain type of pen? well guess what...I certainly have.
i was talking to my bff mindy one day about how bummed i was about using a regular pencil & how lame it was because it always gives me hand cramps. but then i said how much i hate asking people for lead when i run out...i feel slightly embarrassed. almost like i didn't come prepared for this moment in time. the worst? the worst is when you're taking a test & you realize your lead just, officially ran out. then what do you do? you can't ask some kid around you, because the teacher will think you're cheating & you don't have any extra lead. so you end up pulling out the traditional pencil that just HAPPENS to be totally dull. then you have to get up in the middle of the class when it's DEAD silent & use the obnoxiously loud pencil sharpener...
it's so incredibley embarrassing to me. i don't know why either...i'm SO good at not getting embarrassed.
ok, ok, ok. back to what i was saying...while i was talking to mindy about my pencil dilema, she asked if i had ever met someone who was obsessed with their pen. i was like, "what are you talking about? weirdo." and she said, "if you meet someone who likes their pen, they don't just like it...they LOVE it. i swear. my sister? yeah...she's in love with this certain pen." when she told me this, i was only thinking NERDS. nerdy. nerdness. but then, i went to my friend monson's house a few days later & was talking to him & some people about pens. WHAT THE HECK!? i'm seriously spending my weekends talking about pens. yes. but monson & tanner were telling me how great they thought this certain pen was & i just kind of letting it go in one ear & out the other.
but the other day, i was getting tutored. & guess what i finally decided to do. compare my pens with some of the 'greatest' out there. lemme just tell you, i absolutely LOVE my pen. it rocks. ummm, yes. it's gel. duh. i get mine from staples. & you wanna know what? it comes in a 3 pack. red, blue, & black. all the essential colors you need for penmanship. it doesn't smear. it has a gel grip. & the retractable part...yeah...it makes the most addicting sound in the world. sorry i'm so odd. but...after realizing how much i THOUGHT i loved my pen, i noticed there was a pen i hadn't tried. you wanna know what it's called? the zebra f351. beautiful name, right? yes. indeed.
now this very pen is the pen that tanner & monson could just simpley not shut up about. & i have to say...i officially own one thanks to tanner.
do i love my pen? yes. do i think that's weird? not one bit.
xoxo,
A
