Buying Then Using Personal Stationary

I have a problem.

I cannot use my stationary. I just can't bring myself to use it. My new crayons are sooo neat and tidy. Mint condition. I do this a lot. I've a stack of pens and paper and post it notes and paints, pencils, crayons etc. and I just can't bring myself to use them ever.

Even at my work, I can't use my colorful post notes. I refuse to. So they sit there and never be used.

Surely I'm not the only one???

 

Nope. I use it all. If it's a really good piece I will save one and use the rest.

 

I said I was going to sleep then I remember I wanted to post in a thread, but then I saw this thread and had to post in this one.

ANYWAYS...

I'm kind of like that, but kind of not. I suck at jourmaling. So, what I do is buy one of those questionnaire books, answer the questions and decorate it with stationary pieces. If you ever watched a planner video on Youtube, it's like that. But, with questionnaire books, because I suck at planning as well. In saying that, I have a few I never once written on. Some of them have illustration alongside questions. They basically look like junk journals. So, I can't get myself to write in those. But, for the most part I write in my notebooks, questionnaire books, and use my stationary. It's just a few things here and there. I also am like that with some coloring books, which I also use to decorate my questionnaire books.

I've always wanted to make a junk journal. I think that's the best way to collect pieces that amuse you, but you can also put them to good use.

 

I have 6... 6 notepads locked away in a plastic tub I have opened once in 3 years and that was opened the other day when I went to look for something. Didn't find it. But found 6x notepads. Well, I couldn't bare myself to actually mark them so I put them back for god knows how long it'll be until I go in there again.

 

At Work I draw pictures of Dicks and leave them lying around For people To Find and Wonder What The Fuck I get Paid for !! Sometimes I draw Tits But tits are Complicated to draw :scholar:
You can draw a dick Complete with Knackers in one Flourish without Your Crayon leaving the paper ( not allowed anything sharp at work so I can't get a Pen )

 

I'm the same. I buy so much, but then can't bring myself to use them. Especially notebooks. I have too many.

 

i'm the other extreme, if you want to call it that,
i can make nothing but wasteful of people who buy things they have no intention to use.

(i'll make an exception for people who commission art, since i like people who make art and i like to see them do well,
but people who buy perfectly functional musical instruments, or whatever ghod only knows what else,
just to hang on their wall, like that's supposed to prove some thing,
then they never understand why they don't feel gratification and turn to other places where they won't find it either)

not that i ever use postits that much, just ordinary mini-memo pads and the odd sheet of paper folded over, whatever's handy,
and my fine tip felt pens, those i use all the time, never leave home without a notepad and writing impliment,
second thing i check before i walk out the door, right after or before i make sure i have my keys.

now my conventional art supplies tend to dry out when i'm not working on building physical models, as i tend to do all of that,
most of the time on the computer. but stuff i'm not actually going to in some sense use, i'd mostly just rather not have the clutter of,
at all.

 

I intend to use them, it just hurts to do so..

I might just start buying doubles. That way I can use them, and I'll still have spares.

 

at my old job, i came in one day and found a picture of a squirting dick on my desk. so i cut out a picture of the artist's sister, taped her at the end of the stream, and hung it on the bulletin board.

i later found out that he actually wasn't the one who drew it, but i still have no regrets.

 

You all clearly have a problem.

 

Can't see a problem with saving a sheet of personalized stationary in a scrapbook.

 

Is it because you don't want to "ruin" the stationary by using it?

Interesting. I don't know if I'm one of these people, because I don't really buy nice paper.

 

You think you have control by telling yourself, "Just one... one page", but it's still a problem

 

And what is the problem.

 

You "liked" my comment. That's all that matters. But, let me tell you now that one day someone you love will find you covered in one page stationary, so covered that all they will see is your feet, like that chick's feet... with the house on top of her... in that mov... I mean book.

One page is one pages too many. Too many.

 

If it makes you happy I will accidentally click the like button every time I talk to you. I have all my scraps of 42 years in two one inch thick binders in a filling cabinet. So at this rate my family will find 4 inches of binder in an 11 room house. Holy shit how will they swim through all that to find my dead body.

 

A bad case of stationary stationery.

 

its all like paper man !

 

I have all kinds of pads and notebooks,some dating from 20 years ago,all in disarray and most unfinished,full of ideas,phone numbers,addresses,computer codes,poems and song lyrics,doodles and stuff.It all makes sense to me and I'll scribble on anything.I love stationary shops though,along with chemists,bookshops,music shops.Heaven is like a big shiny shop full of gear you want.

 

Four inches is still four inches. Anything counts. Everything counts. Let me there you, four inches can easily become five inches.
