my father and i will be going to a few resale shopes this week, or perhaps next, to purchase a typewriter (with any luck as cool as the one in that auction) and a ribbon, so that i may embark upon my letter-sending entourage. there's something more satisfying about writing with a typrewriter as opposed to with a computer or (at times) by hand. it's nice, when i write, to feel the pen/pencil/keys resisting. it makes me think about exactly what i'm writing, and perhaps re-think it. when i write by hand, i prefer fountain pens over ballpoints, as they scratch the paper. another advantage to writing by hand is i know when to stop. when my arm starts to hurt and my handwriting becomes unreadable, i stop. that way (hopefully) i won't write too much. i have a tendency to babble (as you may have noticed).
