I imagine I'll eventually get a decent mid level fountain pen and some good ink along with some fancy paper and mess with it for a little bit and then save it for signing important documents and writing letters. Who knows, maybe I'll find another hobby haha.

It's the historical factor that I think I like and it also seems more sophisticated as well.

I know I've said that I'm all about being practical but I also think people should retain some of the things that make us sophisticated such as things like this and dressing well because it sets us apart and gives us a higher standard to look up to. Some things are pretentious but I don't see these subjects as being pretentious.
