Well, my birthday is next week, and I already know what I want for my birthday, which is listed from another site because I have them in my cart.
Pen cleaning package
Platinum preppy fountain pen
Platinum carbon black ink cartridges.
I did a bit of research, the non extensive kind, and found that the fountain pen I have currently (it came as a set with other pens) and international in cartridges are supposedly compatible with it... the cleaning package that i thought of buying off the site has a solution of sorts that helps clean out the nib so it doesn't clog or mix with other inks if you have stubborn ink or if it dried in the nib after the pen has not been in use... Anyways, I love the way fountain pens write! I prefer black ink in my pens. I do believe that they even make chicken scratch writing look good, but that has to be tested out first since I never actually saw anyone with chicken scratch write The pen that I want was suggested by a couple of people because it is cheap. There are other fountain pens suggested/recommended as well, like the pilot varsity fountain pen and Lamy Safari fountain pens. I fell in love with my fountain pen I have, but did not know how to care for it. I tried cleaning it out the way it was instructed, but it still did not write.
I have seen a couple of videos on how to clean your fountain pen, so I think I wanna try them on my own fountain pen that doesn't write anymore... and to be honest, I wanna go to school so I can be a professor and teach classes, just so I can use a convertor and grade students' work with red ink... ah, fountain pens!
Do you enjoy fountain pens? If so, what kind do you like? What ink colour do you use, and do you have a collection? If you don't own a fountain pen, would you like to?
Recently, I thought about sending a couple of people a fountain pen, one as a graduation gift and the other just a "because I'm happy you're going back to school" gift. Of course, I'll have to remove the ink because I know he's not going to use it, but at the same time, I'd love it if he did. Still, he says his writing is... poor, and depending on the paper, it would bleed through and get on the other sheet of paper beneath his first sheet of paper. I have seen a video recommending types of school paper to use for fountain pens when taking notes and such. I do have a journal written in fountain pen for the most part.
A friend told me that they would buy an amazon gift card and send me the code to buy the stuff from amazon, which is great! After making the purchases, I should have enough money to purchase some songs. Maybe I could buy something from someone.
