Things I Like

1. handmade journals (I would use them mostly for leaving notes for people or for taking down my own notes when I get an idea)
2. pens of different colors, pencils, markers, jelly-roll-type pens. like this

I like pens with retractable tips and pencils that are mechanical. I like them in crazy designs and colors. i also like ones that write well, so I can sketch and doodle. I like glow-in-the-dark pens and flourescent ones, too. Where are the yellow pens that you can barely see on white paper?
3. owls, they kind of remind me of people
4. succulent terrariums
5. illustrations
