Every once in a while I get the urge to learn calligraphy. I just imagine getting a fountain or dip pen and some nice, heavy pieces of paper and practising my penmanship. I've had horrible writing for as long as I can remember, it was one of the things my teachers commented on consistently throughout my time in elementary school. I recently started using a moleskine to try and organize my time and I quickly found out that the paper they use is absolute shit. It's so thin that sometimes the ink just sits on it like a drop of water on the counter. Eventually it'll sink in, but it just bleeds horribly through.

Anyway, I should probably work on the content of my writing first before I work on penmanship.
