Pens and writing utensils in general tend to excite me to no end, hence the name of this blog. My goal is to write and comment about pens that I use, interspersed with my other hobbies and interests. Most of the pens I have are purchased at JetPens.com, but there are other websites and I sometimes beg my family in Singapore to send me more.
I'm a student at Augustana College in the Quad Cities in Illinois. I live in the Chicago suburbs however and play baseball. I'm majoring in Classics (Ancient Greek and Latin) and I'm also learning German, Classical Arabic and Japanese, which should help in reading the labels on the plethora of Japanese pens that come out every year. Discovering which pens work best for what languages is a lot of fun and is also a great excuse to continue writing. I am also an amateur pen spinner. If you have no idea what that entails, I highly recommend seeing the video at this link:

I look forward to writing in this blog and reading comments and above all trying new pens and papers.
