Right? Step away for 30 minutes and holy crap, y'all.

Anyhow, from pages ago:

How do I get this app? AFAF

In the App store? Maybe?

Pop rock blow job

That's something I'd definitely warn the recipient about ahead of time.

How could I forget the whip?!

I am enjoying the image of a pole dance, whip and tool belt. I have to go search the porn sites.

That's something I'd definitely warn the recipient about ahead of time.

But do I listen? Yes......

But listen and ignore .....also yes

You should warn them if you bite too, A friend at the office didn't warn me.

And yet somehow I'm still not deterred

My rule of thumb is "Don't bite."

I'm a diehard Tomoe River user as well so that'll be easy. For a while, that paper was the hardest thing to get in Aus until I found someone who made custom notebooks with it and ordered a bunch. At risk of turning this into an almanac, I'll list five in each category and try to incorporate the colours you do/would use. I'll only list inks that I've had experience with and can swear by recommending or have had reviews from IRL friends. If you don't have a Kakimori Dip Nib already, it's great for ink testing and swatching.

General Purpose
- Troublemaker Abalone. Blue ink that shades purple. Has subtle shading but is generally okay for office use.
- Iroshizuku Fuyushogun. A moody grey ink with undertones of blue. This might be the grey for you.
- Diamine Coral. A fan favourite if you like coral inks. It's a salmon coral colour and has really good flow.
- De Atramentis Document Fog Grey. I use this as a highlight on my watercolours too. Bit of a specialty ink but it dries pretty quickly on Tomoe River.
- J. Herbin Vert Atlantide. A really beautiful dark forest green. This one is really poetic for letters.

Sheening/Shading
- Robert Oster Tinseltown. Blueish-purple ink that shimmers gold. The mica is very eye-catching but a good pen flush is recommended after you're done with this.
- Organics Studio Nitrogen. Notoriously long dry time but somewhat of a cult ink for its legendary red sheen.
- Sailor Dipton Ice Dance. Blue with an aurora borealis-like silvery shimmer. Iridescent.
- Colorverse Witch by Starlight. One of my recent favourites. A multitonal, witchy purple colour that evokes the magickal arts. Some blue and pink tones. It's a very special ink.
- Wearingeul Frankenstein. Soft spot for Gothic literature but this also happens to be a very pretty, vibrant azurite purple with a violet undertone. Good shading variation.

Thank you! Appreciate the feedback.

I went with Diamine couldn’t find coral so I found a 6 pack with a nice selection of colors one including a grey. The Diamine was spoke of frequently in the FB group that uses the Hobonichi journal. I put the pilot on my list as it’s a very pretty color. I read more on the “extra ones” which require flushing of the pen and how they may clog a fine point so I decided to wait until I have a bit more experience.

I have a few Lamy pens (not super expensive) but each one is a different nib. My favorite is the extra fine so I’ll try these out with the medium nib.

I used my safe word. MORE!

Good morning, Coziers. I hope everyone has their coffee, tea, prosecco, ice cream, and/or pop rocks as required to make it through Monday.

Wait, I missed coffee?! No one mentioned that! I hope there’s some left

Good morning, afternoon, and evening for all the global Cozy Community. It’s Monday the sun is bright but it’s still chilly here. Let’s see what today brings us.

Oh and I’ll be on the lookout for @LordofDargaardkeep - he should be around sometime today.
