I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

So I was standing in the college shop trying to choose a pen, and I see these light green and dark green ink pens in the corner. So I think what kind of serious adult would need a light green pen? What would you possibly write with a green pen? Then I realise this whole artschool building probably does not contain one serious adult, so I went and bought it to draw leaves and trees ‘n shit.

So unmotivated lately.

    ooh I love buying pens. I have so many in absurd colours (Muji, I miss you!). Being a serious adult is overrated. Better life skills include: being able to draw a rainbow with all the pens in your pencil case, able to kick off shoes dozens of meters whilst swinging on swings, taking a run and sliding at every long patch of ice you see, pushing shopping carts responsibly and when you go down an empty aisle totally giving it a big push and hopping on the back… wheee!

    lol i love coloured pens..and actually i use a dark green muji pen all the time. I feel like buying coloured pen is such an asian thing haha like how I’m probably one of the only people in my year who still use a hardcase pencil case

    I remember when I was in middle school it was the “in thing” for girls to have a zillion pens in every single color. My pencil case was massive.

    Your pictures are always amazing (especially these ones).
    Who usually takes them? (just out of currriousty, haha)

    And yes green pens are probably the best to doodle leaves and all spring time things with.

    Haha. That’s like me when I went to get sharpies and I only wanted the black ones but the one where it had black, red, blue and green were cheaper. Being the asian I am, I went for that one. But I thought to myself when the hell am I ever gonig to use it? I think I drew trees,hearts and water with it. LOL

    I freaking love your pants and shoes. Serious. I am contemplating the slashed pants/jeans look. I dont think little 9th graders could handle my giantness AND crazy slash pants.

    My mum is 48 year old doctor, and she almost always uses a pink pen. She told me that she’s done it ever since her little sister gave her a pink pen and notepad one her 13th birthday.

    Aaah I love this outfit like very very very much. But I certainly write the same thing in all my comments, but still… I Love this one so much.

    I just hate green pens! They’re so useless, but I just realized that I had like 4 green pens in my stuffs and I can’t remember if I actually bought those. Seriously… Who buys green pens? (well I guess i really did… OMG)

    Thank you for my header (: I love it too much too.
    I don’t know if that model is polish. I haven’t heard of her before haha. I just liked the simplicity and the greatness of her outfit!

    Oh why so serious? Lovely outfit though…that light green pen thing sounds like something people frommy school would buy…me included..I keep hearing all this art stuff all the time, like print it two cms right and it will look 3D. I’m in high school with art emphasis…

    Haha! Thanks for the giggle… I was reading your post and thought ‘hey, I’ve got a light and dark green pen!

    p.s. I was really surprised not many people knew of Muji on my blog post, I thought it was international!

    I have a weakness for huge selection of writing utensils all displayed in one place–I always end up spending way more money than I should and am left with way more crap than I need. Ah well, such is life :-) Great jeans, by the way.

    i love your jeans and how you layered them. hm, sounds like an experiment for me. one can never be too old or serious for colored pens.

    The day I become too old to appreciate pretty pens will be the day I die. I actually can’t stop buying kooky little notebooks and the like. Your jeans are so awesome with that scarf-I need to do that DIY to my jeans WHY AM I SO LAZY?!

    I’m excited that you have so many pen options! I’m in the market for a felt-tip light green pen, since I recently lost mine. I’m not an art student, so my excuse is that I prefer colorful notes.

    Like everybody else, I really like your jeans! It’s cool how the edges are so fuzzy and frayed — in that one picture of just your legs, it looks like they’re made of wool. So, when you wear those, do you have to double up on tights or are they surprisingly warm?
