It has long been a hidden secret that stationery is the most exciting thing in the whole world. Forget trampolines, sexy people, hot music, bungee jumping, travelling by Space Shuttle and accidentally becoming a super-hero when you are bitten by a radio-active sprout, nothing makes the heart race like a brand new pen making a mark on a brand new notepad.

Some people like thin-nibbed ballpens, some people prefer a quill. Some even like pencils, although there's a lot of debate about the perfect softness of lead. I'm a 2B man, myself, but I can see the value in a good hard H, once in a while.

But this little fetish has been such a well-kept secret that when two inkpen addicts get together (I'm not going to call it being a pen-aholic, because there's no such drink as penahol. There's no such drink as workahol either, come to that. Damn you, language!), there is still that thrilled gush you get when people discover a shared passion.
