I want to fucking punch something.

(there is nothing around that I can punch, nor can I actually punch anything, but omg what I wouldn't give for a punching bag anyway)

... I would so be buying yarn as therapy, but that requires money. (and I ... kinda overindulged in spending when jmtorres and I went to trader joe's.) and would be counterproductive, in fact, as the type of yarn I would buy is the sort in the twisty skein things, and I have neither a ball winder nor a swift nor the mobility to wind stuff by hand, so it would just be extra super duper frustration.

(I would alternatively be buying office supplies, which is my other comfort food purchandise ... fuck, that isn't even a word, but it amuses me. ... comfort purchasing thing -- particularly, I kind of want a pen that writes smoothly upside down, for purposes of writing in bed, and also decent small-sized but thick notebooks for same -- but again, money, even if I knew where to get such things.)

Instead, I am in WoW smashing stuff in the face. it is amazingly therapeutic.

Not that these are anywhere near cheap, but I'm pretty sure so called "space pens" are totally happy writing upside down. No personal experience or anything, but that's what they claim.

This is also my understanding. However, the other device that does this rather more on the cheap is a regular-issue pencil :) (Or a propelling pencil, if needing to sharpen it would be an issue and/or you like a nice thin line.)

Pencils smudge. :) And they feel different, writing, than a good smooth pen (and I have no clue if space pens feel right).

Purchandise! I love it!

My ridiculous addiction (erm, beyond craft supplies, that is) is stationery -- fancy blank notebooks? Decorative letterheads? Elegant envelope seals? I am ALL OVER IT. Take my money, just hand me that stuff I will never use!
