Rainy and dark and my computer is feeling sluggish

Okay, here I go. Warning: massive link dump ahead. When I've got 32 windows open, each containing several tabs, it's time to close a few before my computer 'splodes.

Neil Gaiman posted on his blog a question someone asked him about fountain pens. And now I have this urge to go out and buy a really pretty fountain pen, even though I have very little experience with them. I'd just like to write pretty words in pretty journals with a handwriting style that is better than my own. Speaking of pretty: flickr has fountain pens.

Neil Gaiman reads a poem called "Instructions" from "Fragile Things". I want that guy to come to my house and read me bedtime stories every night.

Wikipedia says...
Tautologies are funny. So are people with really unusual names.

sam_storyteller has written a nice little fic about young!Jack Harkness, called I Were The Heavens.

Eleventh Doctor doesn't look so bad when he's all dressed up.

...Wow, that wasn't nearly as many links as I thought it'd be, but that's it for now. More later if I get bored again.

Ah, fountain pens they are called in english. :D Learn something new every day! I think it is really difficult to find a good fountain pen, which would be nice to draw and write with. I don't really draw that much but fountain pen would be nice to have, I guess it does make a nicer line than ordinary pencil. :3 I do like to draw/write with ink and nibs, so that'd be easier to carry with a small drawing pad/journal.

Neil Gaiman = <3.

Hooray for learning new words!
Yeah, I don't really do that much drawing, although I wish I could. But I'd just really like to have a very good quality pen to write with. Most of the time I just use cheap ballpoint pens, and I feel bad about throwing them away when they run out of ink. It'd be nice to have a pen that lasts for a long time.
On the other hand, I'd hate to have a really nice pen and get attached to it, and then lose it somewhere, which I'm sure would probably happen to me sooner or later... :D
