Paper, notebooks, pencils, erasers, pens. I get a little panicky when people borrow stuff I have bought to write with. I even have a pencil that I wrote my first story with that is sharpened to a nub. It is my lucky pencil and I freak out when I can't find it when I want to write. It just sits on my keyboard, inspiring me....<br /><br />I know, I'm weird. :DMel Chesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200734886454147170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-73732423078078894292010-06-10T09:45:07.237+03:002010-06-10T09:45:07.237+03:00I love new pens.

I have Disney princess pencils, animal print, Winnie-the-Pooh, sparkly pencils, pencils from places I visit (Hawaii, Baltimore Aquarium, Philadelphia Zoo, Hershey Park, just to name a few!). I love pencils! <br /><br />Notebooks are another obsession. Once again, they're super fun notebooks, lots of colors and cartoon characters. I have a container filled with new notebooks. Whenever I fill up one notebook I have to buy another to replace it even though I still have dozens, lol!<br /><br />Needless to say, Staples is one of my favorite store!!!Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-6936405520875525542010-06-09T19:28:04.750+03:002010-06-09T19:28:04.750+03:00Well, in the realm of office materials I have an o...Well, in the realm of office materials I have an obsession with highlighters and post-it notes. I've gotten them for Christmas before (Okay, well, it was the Christmas after my first college semester, and I think my grandparents were trying to instill a love of study, but I was thrilled about it. Really. It was a great Christmas present!)<br /><br />I have an obsession with allegories in movies, as well as movie soundtracks.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846251713093236356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-41605018708770401662010-06-09T18:58:50.540+03:002010-06-09T18:58:50.540+03:00I share the same love for pens, especially colored...I share the same love for pens, especially colored ones.

When I find a pen I love...the feel in my hand, the flow of the ink, the nib, non-skipping...I will use it until I've bled it dry. Then it seems I cannot find the same brand/make again. <br /><br />I give the unworthy pens to my kid and husband.<br /><br />I have a rare and very expensive Mont Blanc given to me as a gift ...and I hate it. It's pretty, but I don't like its action.<br /><br />I have plenty of other obsessions...and yes, SHOES are one of them. And the perfect mascara. And the perfect bra.

I test each style on the little pad provided for that purpose. I sigh over color and ink choices, and ball point sizes vs. felt tip. Unfortunately, I usually end up buying the economy pack of Bic stick pens--you know, the 24 pack at the cheap price--because as much as I love pens, I tend to lose them very, very quickly.j.leigh.baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12086576155269323425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-33481334174435687592010-06-09T17:30:20.601+03:002010-06-09T17:30:20.601+03:00I can so relate. :) My family has a hard enough ti...I can so relate. :) My family has a hard enough time dragging me out of book stores, but you know where I really get caught home?
