So then I said upon myself, "fuck it, I'm treating myself," and purchased two journals (they only come in pairs for whatever reason), several pencils of varying hardness, and a nice ballpoint pen. Anything to make me happy.

EDIT: Damn it. I forgot to buy erasers!

I have a pencil sharpener with an integrated eraser. Blackwing pencils are the shit. Ticonderoga is basically the best if you don't want to spend a whole lot.
