Hey there, guys! Welcome back to my now personally personal blog. (And yes, I know that sounded redundant\u2026But it was fun to say!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s Throwback Thursday, as the title says, is about stationary. You see, I\u2019ve always had a fascination with stationary. Notebooks, pens, art supplies- if it\u2019s related to paper and what you use to write and draw on it, I\u2019m obsessed, and sometimes very picky. Today, I\u2019m going to talk about three things related to stationary: Stationary I currently have and just love, a memory of how bad my hoarding of notebooks used to get, and a mention of a few other obsessions I collect in my life. Let\u2019s begin, shall we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite stationary I\u2019ve gotten in recent years include a few pens I own, some nifty pencil sharpeners I haven\u2019t actually used yet, and some really nice notebooks. I\u2019m going to try to include pictures, but I may make you wait on those for another time, as it depends on if I can get a decent image. For now, let me describe some of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, the pens. My absolute favorite pens I\u2019ve recently gotten include one that has a flashlight shaped like a lamp with a lampshade on the bottom of the pen. The pen\u2019s cap is actually a stand- so you can totally use the albeit dim lamp to light a small area. It\u2019s really cool! My second pen\u2026I sadly lost it somewhere along the way. I know it\u2019s hiding around here somewhere, but I cry when I search because so far, I never find it. ;-; It\u2019s a really cool pen though. It\u2019s actually a multi-tool: it has a ruler, a level and a screw driver all built into one magnificent pen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The notebooks I have are really something. One is the one I turned into my bullet journal. I got it at the dollar store thinking it was really cute- it\u2019s pink on top and green on the bottom, and it has both an elastic enclosure and a ribbon to keep your place marked. I really need to get back into my journaling\u2026 My second notebook was a gift I got in a care package, much like the multi-tool pen. It\u2019s a beautiful, big notebook with a colorful bird adorning the cover. It\u2019s magnificent I tell you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, we\u2019ve talked about current stationary loves- now let\u2019s talk about the past. You see, there was a time my father and I both collected notebooks and office supplies together. It was so bad we\u2019d filled a little room built into our apartment at the time\u2019s basement. Friends would come over and ask to see our \u2018mini Staples\u2019 to find what they might need themselves- and while it was loads of fun, it still shows a concerning trait. Normal people don\u2019t have a room dedicated to stationary!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, it\u2019s not just stationary I collect and hoard. And yes, I\u2019m admitting right now I have hoarder tendencies and an obsessive personality. I\u2019m obsessed with bags and makeup like a stereotypical woman. I\u2019m still proud of my plushie collection as well. Looking at my desk alone, you can tell I have a minor issue with lip balms. Seriously, I have three on my desk. There\u2019s no way I need three different lip balms at my desk. Just one should do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you were to come to my house, another thing you\u2019d see a lot of is flashlights. I can count four right on the shelf near me. That\u2019s more my dad\u2019s thing, but I admit\u2026 My lampshade pen having a light is pretty wonderful to me. I also have a lot of art supplies sitting near me right now: a container full of colored pencils, a huge box of gel pens\u2026 And then those pencil sharpeners I haven\u2019t used yet, which are cool because you can use them to cap your pencils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you like stationary as much as I do? Whether you do or not, I\u2019d love to hear what interesting stationary you have. I\u2019d also love to hear about things you collect, obsess over, or hoard. Let\u2019s share the things we might have problems with- and be proud that we know the things we love so well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
