Theres something about a new Notebook

Today I got my order from Amazon, three small pocket notebooks for me to carry around, and scribble down each passing thought I think I can turn into something good. You see, I have a serious notebook obsession, I love all notebooks. Big or small, leather or cardboard, though my preference is small/medium sized leather bound or moleskine notebooks. There's just something about opening a brand new notebook, the smell of the paper, and the clean crisp white of the pages. Laying the tip of my pen against the lines and watch the small dot of ink spread and become larger. Now, sometimes it takes me forever to finally use the new notebook, because I don't want to soil the nice clean sheet of paper. That is ridiculous even in my eyes, but that is just the way I am :)


(<.< My absolute favorite type of notebook)
In my bedroom is a very large wall-to-wall desk, on the left and right are shelves; which are completely filled with my personal library. Below are drawers, half of which are filled with useless paraphernalia that I probably will never use, but am still not sure whether I want to throw it all out yet. In the middle is the actual desk, which is covered in school, and, can you guess? Notebooks, and an unhealthy amount of pens and pencils, graphite and markers. I am an 
artist, so why should this be strange? Well, that in and of itself is not strange, but I have an entire box filled with pens and pencils. Of course, I use almost every single one, but sometimes it seems kind of sad that one girl needs all of these drawing and writing accessories. 


Almost all of my notebooks are covered in stickers, most of which are American flags<I am a die hard Patriot> and cars. <I have a thing for old cars> Something about the 'Eco-friendly' notebook is that they have nothing on their covers, so you can easily design and draw your own cover. Well, lets just say I am a big fan of notebooks of any kind, but I favor the smaller pocket sized leather bound notebooks. And to further this I have a stack of them by my bed as well............But I justify all of this by using every single one of them. Some are filled with poetry, others songs or snippets of a half written song. Well, as a writer I do need something to write on, and if I started using my walls I'm rather afraid of where that might lead.<image of me curled up in a white room with the walls covered in writing and nonsense.> Ya, I don't want that either.



To all writers out there<G.> keep writing!!!!!
