Staddicts
Posted: February 19th, 2010, 10:21 am
I know now, that I am not the only person addicted to stationary. This is a strange affliction whereby a budding author will naturally gravitate towards the nearest stationary store in the immediate vicinity and be lost within the displays, sometimes for years.
You, or someone you know, may be a Staddict if you can say yes to the following:
-You know where all the stationary is kept in the supermarket
-You know where the nearest store is, and its opening times
-If you get to the store without people noticing, you will emerge hours later with at least two bags and a goofy grin
-Your writing area has at least 5 unused notebooks
-You have more than one pencil case, filled with all sorts of pens and still need a new one
-You have a wall dedicated to all things Post-It
-Said Post-It's are colour co-ordinated, in separate sections, depending on which character you are writing about at the time.
-You get upset if you find a yellow Post-It in the area for pink ones
-If your local stationary store has a sale, they ring you at home at least a week in advance to let you know.
-You are the stationary store's best advertiser
-You have an account with the stationary store
-If people touch your stationary without permission, you growl and/or lunge at them.
-When you put extra staples on every page just for the sheer joy of it...
-I just bought two reams of paper at Ace Hardware. ( I think this should be a motto for Staddicts and accompanied by a goofy grin)
-You keep finding random pens in your bag for no apparent reason, and then realise you put them all there in case there was an *emergency*(perhaps of an apocalyptic nature) and a lot of people needed stationary in a hurry
This list is not comprehensive and if you think that something should be added, just post here and I'll get it up on the list.
All that said, welcome Staddicts!
