I love notebooks, but once I buy them, I don't want to use them and mess them up. I have all these beautiful blank notebooks in a stack on my desk and sticky notes and bits of paper every where with chicken scratch on them. I swear it's a sickness and as a result my desk and I are an unorganized mess!
oh, almost forgot about pens. Or should I say pen. There is only one that I will use at work and they order them especially for me. Uni-ball Signo Gel Grip in blue. I use one at a time until the ink is gone and then get a new one from my stash. I am pretty territorial about my pen and even have a pen holder with "decoys" on my desk so no one "borrows" mine. And before you ask, yes, I am crazy.
