Am I A Stationery Addict? Part 2!
Found another list! This one is "Things Anyone Who's Slightly Obsessed With Stationery Has Done."
Time to compare.
1. Practised your handwriting before making that first sacred mark in a new notebook.
Nope; that's the joy of working on loose paper!!!
2. Or torn an entire page out when you’ve made a mistake.
Again, this is why I use loose leaf. :3
3. Organised your pens by colour, type of pen, or some other miscellaneous factor.
I do separate my pens by whether or not they're ball point pens, fineliners, or fountain pens.
4. Taken the line width of your ruled paper incredibly seriously.
College ruled ONLY.
5. As well as the size of your pen nibs.
Heck yes!
6. Got overly attached to a particular pen because you’re convinced it’s the one that makes your handwriting look the nicest.
I just got fountain pens, so YUP.
7. Told yourself you couldn’t start a new task until you’d bought a notebook for it first.
I like putting everything in the same notebook. :) Loose leaf notebook, of course.
8. Lied and said you didn’t have a pen because you didn’t want someone to take it.
I don't mind if people borrow my pens as long as they treat them well and give them back!
9. Or kept a separate stash of pens for borrowing.
See above.
10. And convinced yourself that your pen just didn’t write the same afterwards if you actually had the heart to lend it out in the first place.
Depends on the type of pen... I suppose I might have this problem with the more delicate fineliners. I confess I would be hesitant to loan those out.
11. Secretly harboured an intense jealousy of anyone with nicer handwriting than you.
YEEEEEEEES.
12. Used the new year as an excuse to buy yet another planner.
I like making my own planners via the Bullet Journal system.
13. And then bought several more during the year because you couldn’t bear to look at all the empty pages you forgot to fill out for a few weeks.
Again, bullet journals. :3
14. Winced when someone asked to borrow a piece of paper because it means ripping a page from your precious notepad.
Don't have this problem with looseleaf!
15. Sharpened a pencil for no reason but to witness the beauty of a perfect shaving curl.
Eh... I hate sharpening pencils. I much prefer my mechanical one.
16. And so that all of your pencils look like this (picture of perfectly sharpened pencil)
Again, I prefer mechanical pencils, and I only write with pens. However for drawing I will use art pencils sometimes.
17. Been excited by the prospect of starting a new job or term at school because it means having to go stationery shopping.
I'm always excited when I get to buy new binders and paper for them!
18. Bought a pen that you knew was way too expensive and you’d probably never use because you “needed it”.
Yup. XD
19. Secretly enjoyed the smell of Sharpies.
Eh... I'm afraid of what will happen if I smell them...
20. And felt both calmed and slightly aroused by the art of calligraphy.
I love calligraphy but i can't do it!
21. Refused to use a beautiful notebook for way too long because you still haven’t found a good enough reason to use it.
Yup. why do you think I use loose leaf notebooks?
22. Slightly judged someone for their taste in stationery.
No, I'm not a judgmental person. We all have unique preferences and that's what's so fun!
23. And finally, convinced yourself that new stationery is the key to organising your life.
In the past, yes, but I didn't actually like the feeling, you know what I mean? That's why I keep everything in the same notebook. It's fun to have multiple volumes of everything creative in your life!

Am I A Stationery Addict?
Saw this list awhile ago. Let's see how I match up!
1. You delight in pens that come in a rainbow of colors.
DEAR GOSH YES. I love colorful pens. <3
2. The smell of freshly sharpened pencils makes you swoon.
Pencils do smell nice, but I prefer mechanical pencils. I honestly don't like sharpening pencils.
3. Doodling is a recreational pastime of yours.
Yes! I love drawing!
4. You have a giant collection of adorable erasers….
Actually, no. I always hated those things because they were useless. And I hate erasing stuff. Don't ask me why. I prefer to cross it out.
5. Which you would never ever use because they are too precious and cute.
See above.
6. This is how you feel about the smell of erasers:
I guess erasers do smell nice, I just don't like using them. XD
7. You actually own weird contraptions, like the eraser shield.
What is that? Sounds cool.
8. Or the ingenious pencil with the cool built-in sharpener cap.
I don't, but that would be awesome!
9. Running your fingers over a letterpressed card is like…. (picture of swooning people)
Those things are cool. ^_^
10. In fact, you’re in the market to get married just for the experience of picking out wedding invitations and handwriting all of your thank you notes.
Well... no.
11. Making lists is your forté.
I do love making lists!
12. You own more notebooks than space for all the thoughts in your head.
Notebooks are cool, but you know me--I prefer folders and binders.
13. This is what cracking open a brand new moleskine feels/looks like:
Again, moleskines are awesome, but I prefer loose leaf paper.
14. The Sanrio store was your favorite store in the mall growing up.
I actually don't know that store.
15. You didn’t even dread the first day of school because of school supply shopping.
Oh, I dreaded the first day of school, but buying that stuff is always fun. And now that I've graduated college, I can enjoy the atmosphere of Back To School Shopping Season without worrying about school! :D
16. You haven’t used Scotch tape since the day you discovered WASHI TAPE.
Washi Tape is a new discovery for me, but it's pretty awesome! I love decorating my journal pages with it. <3
17. You’ve owned pens with charms dangling off of them.
Actually, no, but that would be awesome.
18. You’re of the dying breed of people who still choose to write a letter over email.
I don't really write letters or emails for fun, but if I did I think it would be fun to hand write stuff. Though when I wrote emails for fun I got to play with fonts and everything, but that was back when I was fourteen-ish.
19. As a grown ass adult, somehow you are STILL collecting stickers.
I think I prefer washi tape, but I do love stickers.
20. You’re always looking out for the perfect pencil case.
Oh, heck yes. I have a whole collection of pencil/pen cases. XD
21. You’ve fallen in love with someone via their penmanship before meeting them IRL.
Well, no, but I do love old-fashioned penmanship!
22. You much prefer a physical planner to Google Calendar.
I tried digital calendars, but hand-written stuff is easier.
23. You have your own definitive ranking of holy grail pens.
Oh yes!
24. You, when someone borrows your favorite pen and doesn’t return it. (Picture of girl with a sword.)
YES!!!! THOU SHALT NOT TAKE MY PENS
25. You’ve never left a Japanese stationery store without spending hundreds of dollars.
Alas, I've never been to a Japanese stationery store.
26. The smell of Kinko’s conjures up joyful childhood memories for you.
Rarely been to Kinko's, either! What's wrong with me?
27. You’ve actually listened to episodes of The Pen Addict podcast.
No, but then I don't listen to podcasts. I HAVE seen pen-related youtube videos!
