Went into London today, quite fun actually. Did a bit of shopping - three tops, hairclips and naturally the novelty items - Laser/light pen and a stamp for toast :lol:

I love pens. They're simply ace. People think I'm strange because of my fetish.
Same. My parents are always going "Who's taken all the pens!" :lol: I just randomly take them and end up losing them. This one's not going out the house though - too special :lol:
I got a really nice sparkly purple one from W H Smiths a few weeks ago. Its got dark purple feathers around the top with flowers in the middle and light purple fluff around the bottom of the feathers.
Is there a name for pen obsession?
I love those pens! Unfortunately so does my cat. :lol: I don't think there is a name for pen obsession :pQuote:

Wow more pen freaks :D I am one too. I love odd or cute looking pens. I bought a pen the other month which look like a peacock :p It's so fluffy and has an awesome lid. I love it. And my mate got me this awesome pen for christmas it has a green cuddly cute monster looking thing on the top and the pen itself is all soft :D I love it. Ah pens :wub:. I go along to things at college just for the free pens :lol: Last time there was something there.. with different stalls I got a pen from each which was about 10 in total :D. Weird thing is I can only use blue or red pens, so all these pens I buy/get free I hardley ever use they're just there in my pencil case :p.
I hardley ever use a blue pen nowadays.
Either black or red althrough we get told off if we use red cause that's what the teacher's use to mark.
I once got told off for trying to do a french exam in pink pen:lol:
but that was the only pen i had on me that worked and would i hell of asked him for one i would of gotten into trouble for talking. Damn teacher:lol:
Which reminds me i need to buy some more funky pens 8-)
The only thing about novelty pens with bits on the end is that they don't fit in a pencil case :(
Oh and also. Best normal pen ever: Staedtler!!! Can't get enough of them, they're so smooooth and just awesome!! AHH I want to go buy some pens now :D.
Yeah I agree Abigail. Can be a bit annoying. I tend to just put them loose in the front part of my bag. Doesn't help that my Kermit pencil case is like really small!
I have load's of those pen's. Best pen's ever in my opinon. I write my best with those:)Quote:

Lol I dont have a thing for pens, except the pens that are like injections, and I love them
I Use staedtler's i think i might have used a playmate once or twice:lol: that made me laugh for some strange reason 8-)Quote:

Where would we be without pens? If we didn't have computers we'd have to remember everything. That would be strange...
LMAO A PLAYMATE :p I think you mean Papermate ;-)
I miss the good ole' days in school when everything was done on pen and paper. I miss writing essays on paper. Just something about it. Even the correcting and writing it all out again I loved :p. Now it's all done on computers, grrr I hate it. Don't get me wrong.. I do love typing, but meh it's so boring and too fast.
HAha I've been giggling my head off reading your conversation on pens.
I don't like Bic Biros much
I use papermate :D
Never used Staedlars either!
haha
I ahve a thing for rubbers... they ahve to rub out properly.. if they smudge.. oh dear lol. And a sharpener too.. I have to have a good sharpener lol
I have a general thing for stationary but pens are my favourite.
If I go into WHS I go on a stationary shopping spree :lol: It's a compulsion :lol:Quote:

Haha.. I have to have a good rubber! I always get the rubber and sharpeners they used to have in Juniors.. I think they're Staedlar actually! But my sharpener is now my eyeliner sharpener ahah!
I think I'm most obsessive about polly pockets though... I can only have Woolworths pollypockets or WHS
Haha aren't obsessions strange!
Went doctors this morning, my doctor wasn't in as he's gone on a holiday lol, so I didn't really speak out about my belly ache or my head ache.. which also happened to significantly reduce over night.. I'm not complaining :D
It turns out he was the one who wrote the wrong medicine (it wasn't my doc).. he said the ones I take now may cause drowsiness and the one he prescribed don't. It don't make me drowsy and so he gave me the ones I wanted.. though I picked it up and it's a different one! I don't think he understands that I want MY ONE. Ahh well I am just going to take it and then my doc will be back and I will just get my old one again (unless this is better)..
I did have an opticians appointment but mum made me change it to tomorrow as she didn't have time to take me because of her mates coming around and she wanted to cook early.
I been revising the C grade material for maths, did all long 35 pages of it, MathsWatch is REALLY good for revision! Took me a good few hours (4-5) but it was worth it, I feel better now lol..
Planning on doing the D grade sheets tomorrow.. then hopefully he will give us the B, A and A* sheets when we go back to school and I will get everything (haha well least I will try too!)..
Just been reading the posts.. I too love pens lool! I went on a major stationary shopping spree on my last day in Canada (in September) just before school started! God the stuff from Staples are soo good! I also love Partners as they have lovely pens and stuff..
Mum's always having a go at me but I do try and finish it properly before chucking it out.. I sometimes get this wierd urge like I want to do my school work and stuff just so I can use it LOOOOL!
I LOVE blue pens, add's a bit of colour to the work but now they have brought in a rule that only black pens are allowed in exams, which I think is pretty ERGH :angry:.. even for maths paper, so used to writing in pencil so started using pens..
However lea I do prefer using computers to pen&paper as it's so much easier to edit and read through, tider and faster to type!
Oh and I like Bic pens the best, then Papermate.. I think I might have used a steadlear.. Mmm lol.. (love the convo, so random!)
Spicy I was just reading the post for the last few days about you suffering from a sore belly and headache. Marley went through a time 18 months ago of suffering headaches and sore tummy a lot. It turned out to be constipation she is now on Movical twice a day, which is a powdery medicine that can be mixed with water, but it tastes vile it's better mixed with diluting juice as it desolves and it dosen't taste so bad. Sorry I don't want to embarrass you but if Marley dosen't go to the loo every day her symptoms come back. She is now on repeated prescription for the medicine.
Do you have the MathsWatch disc, Spicy? There's a website with it... must go on there... Love the disc though; I seem to get a lot more right with that than any revision guides or notes or MyMaths.co.uk!Quote:

Lol nah it's alright, it's perfectly normal I guess nothing embarrasing :) Thanks for replying.. well I will see how it goes and if it comes back again I will sort of keep a mind record and if that happens to be the case I guess I will go to docs and explain it to him then! Thanks for replying, it's helpful! :)Quote:

I have the maths watch cd aswell and i think its really good, but the voice annoys me sometimes lol
I think SB is a closet pen obsession place :p I love pens too... Don't get me started, I love my parker, I use bic right now, but I know what you mean about Staedlers :love:
Alright day, havn't done that much work..copied out what the lodger upstairs (she's a nurse) gave me, she wrote 4 pages :eek: :thumbsup: which is a real help for my courswork.
My backs still aching, which is a bit worrying, since it's in the place where my kidneys are. But, knowing me it's probably a pulled muscle from bad posture :lol: I would've gone yesterday to the doctors but I wanted a day out :p Plus I couldn't really cancel at the last minute.
Tabbie, I have been meaning to ask, how did it all go???? :)Quote:

I didn't buy any pens today :(
I Love pens to, especially coloured pens as a law student got to do lots of writing and a lot of my course friends laugh at me because i spend most of my time making m work look pretty. Just sat in my mates room listening to his music and eating his food as mine is freezing.
MEant to be revising but its not going very well. Three weeks to exams Argh!!!!!
My teacher laughs at me because I always hold his lessons up lining all the pens up in colour order (darkest to lightest) then spending ages deciding which colours to use :rotfl:Quote:

Haha! :D Your pencil case sounds really cool Abigail! :D
I went to town today and looked for Staedlar pens seems as though lots of you were saying they were really good! :D
(Yes I am that sad)
I couldn't find any anywhere :( lol
What? :p Look in WHSmith.. should be in the singular pen section if you can't find them in a pack. Look in Woolworths, should be in the stationary section.. you usually find them in a pack of about 5 (4 blue/black 1 red) or 1 pen, 1 rubber, 1 ruler and 1 sharpner. Do you have a Victoria Bookshop? Again usually in the singular pen section..
Lea i didn;t know you were so knowledgeble on pens tbh:lol: i now know what to buy you for your christmas and your birthday:lol:Quote:

I agree, Spicy, best £3 I've ever spent! I usually begrudge spending my own money on revision stuff. Even better than some pens I invested some of my birthday money in lol; my favourites by far are the blossom range from WH Smith. They're soooo much more comfortable to write with than the pens I used in my mock exams! They're blue so I changed the ink with ink from another pen so I have some black for exams, and I keep changing them anyway because they keep running out.Quote:

Also did a bit of Maths, History, RE, Business and English Lit, then I got bored. I managed to whack my head on the shelves above my bed in the process.
Me too! I get so wound up with her going on most of the time that I'm shouting, "Shut up!" at the computer, then stabbing the mouse to press pause :lol:Quote:
