I’m not a pen collector. Not in the way that some of you are collectors. I don’t have dozens and dozens of pens filling drawers and pen cups and plastic bins all around me. Just a few select favorites that get me jazzed when I use them.
Pens come in all the time, but they rarely stay. I try them out and, use them for a few days or weeks, then toss them in a box until I can pass them on to other people. My friends are used to seeing me coming around with fistfuls of pens to hand out, whether they want them or not.
But.
There are those pens I wish to acquire and keep, maybe to use, or maybe just to stare at Gollum-like while I mutter about how beautiful they are to me. These are the pens I wish for, maybe lust after a little, but haven’t yet convinced myself to buy.
