It's that you *don't* have antennae.<BR/><BR/>To Owlet: I LOVE these types of questions, actually. I would blog about these things all the time if I didn't suspect it would bore everyone else to tears. I use different kinds of pens -- my only requirements are that they write smoothly and not smear (I'm left-handed). So, I use cheap Bic pens sometimes, and sometimes I upgrade to fancier gel pens -- I'm willing to try anything, but a pen that smears or doesn't write smoothly will be instantly thrown away. I prefer blue, but also write in black sometimes. Now, my notebooks -- that's where I get really specific! I use college-ruled spiral-bound notebooks that have a hard cover, so that I can write in my lap or on the plane or WHEREVER and have the hard surface I need. I've used a couple kinds and they all seem to be European -- right now I'm using a kind called Super Conquerant by a company called Enri that I get from Bob Slate in Cambridge, MA (if I'm there, I buy a bunch, if I'm not, I call and they mail them to me ^_^). I LOVE these notebooks!<BR/><BR/>Finally, to anonymous: The educational publishers in Cambridge are indeed what INSPIRED my interpretation of the masculine ideal!Kristin Cashorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560274772312684672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228273369846378320.post-42284617839569170792008-06-20T15:55:00.000-04:002008-06-20T15:55:00.000-04:00So THAT'S why you're always looking disapprovingly...So THAT'S why you're always looking disapprovingly at my nose.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12359262878621327203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228273369846378320.post-21519530441513822842008-06-19T16:49:00.000-04:002008-06-19T16:49:00.000-04:00Your masculine ideal is very reminiscent of an edu...Your masculine ideal is very reminiscent of an educ. publishing developer in Cambridge, MA, for whom you have done some work, no??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228273369846378320.post-49054797513894137102008-06-19T16:28:00.000-04:002008-06-19T16:28:00.000-04:00Are you partial to any particular notebook/pen?(Al...Are you partial to any particular notebook/pen?<BR/><BR/>(Also, you're very good to put up with my incessant questioning on your blog.)NoGrandmotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01185188439798333946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228273369846378320.post-63890827550059788452008-06-19T16:11:00.000-04:002008-06-19T16:11:00.000-04:00It's true.
