I learned to type in high school - yes, Myroria, on an electric typewriter, because computers were not ... as common at the time. It is, however, one of the most useful classes I have ever taken.  And my keyboard is not boring.  It is aesthetically challenged.

I really like mechanical pencils, but I chose keyboards.

I was torn between the graphite pencil collection and the ink and nib. Went ink because calligraphy and its pretentiousness.

I stopped using pencils after high school and I forgot how amazing mechanical pencils were!!
Today's date is: Today is Jocidi, 5 Cielidor AR 5 - Day 1770 of the Glorious Revolution.

Many trials make manifest
The stranger's fate, the curses' bane.
Many touchstones try the stranger
Many fall, but one remains.

Blood is the only proper ink, and with a feather pen!

I had a mechanical type writer when I was little, with either red or black ink. ribbons and automatic return at end of row.
