Mundane Happenings #2

- I really like black Pilot G-2 0.5 pens. And I mean, über like. I've rejected every other kind of pen since I was first introduced to them back when I still had funky hair.

I've found that they're pretty uncommon in Australia for some reason. It always seems to be the 0.7 pens that populate the shelves. But personally I find that 0.7 is way too thick for my liking (since my handwriting's usually pretty small, thick pens make everything look extra messy and then my writing resembles a messy scrawl). I was pleasantly surprised to find that Unibooks sold the individual black 0.5 pens (for a steep price but the world isn't perfect... yet). In my happiness, I bought one to use when I finished using up all my other pens. Time passed, and when it was finally time to use the new pen, it didn't work. I tried every trick that Yahoo! Answers could provide. I even held up my pen right near my heater to somehow warm its lifeless body but it still wouldn't work. It did annoy me that I spent nearly $5 on a useless pen but it unfortunately didn't detract me from buying a replacement (which works perfectly btw).


My goodness, a paragraph on pens. My life is mundane.


- Still in line with mundane happenings, my umbrella warrants a mention. It's lacking a hinge and won't close properly! I've been emotionally attached to my umbrella for about three years now. My dearest mommy bought it for me and it's been an ever-faithful companion in the rain. It's never turned inside out on me and it has a "fruity" pattern (as A would say). So now I suppose I'll have to become one of the masses with a dreary navy blue or black umbrella. :(


- The weather's bad and I'm missing the warm sunshine. Is this Adelaide's answer to the monsoon season?


- It annoys me when bobby pins have so little grip strength.


- I have a craving for something that I just can't name. I can't even say if I'm craving for something sweet or savoury. I'm just craving for something. Maybe... kimchi?
