I think so but can't really remember, it's from a folder I have of abandoned places I put together awhile ago.

>>2995277

Damn, any ideas? Here's the link - http://www.mediafire.com/?8gsqebwcv4ver7i

Yes? No? This is the first time I've attempted it so I'm not sure how it turned out.

>>2994877

Okay let's see if this works

>>2994823

I'll see what I can do in a few min, never tried it before

>>2994683

Haha, guilty! Although to be honest I've never read all the way through Lolita, does Kubrick's count? Also, I have two small notebooks, my first two, and four medium sized completed. I'm on my seventh notebook currently.

>>2994687

Thanks I appreciate it. I'll admit lots of practice helps.

>>2988802

My fountain pen is a Kaweco as well. I haven't much experience writing with it, but I try to practice with it occasionally.

>>2988819

I suppose it's been about 2 and a half, maybe 3 years that I've been writing in these notebooks. I've also been keeping a journal of my own life since about 2001.

>>2987977

Not sure if they're meaning fountain pens or gel pens. The Uniball Signo 151 UMs I've mentioned are gel-pens.

Suppose I'm going to call it a night. I'll be working on my fourth volume of notes sometime tomorrow, may or may not be able to post them up here. If the thread's still alive I'll post in here, if not I'll make a new thread, hopefully anyone looking will recognize or be able to find it.

lol, nowhere near Bateman's admittedly. I'm not fat, on the skinny side and a bit toned, nothing ripped. My gf and I go well together.

>>2985722

American Psycho is definitely one of my favorites haha. Yeah I do identify with him alot, I especially love Huey Lewis and the News.

>>2985694

Yeah same time here. Have a good one.

Good luck finding them in a store though. Since I found them on-line, I have yet to be able to find them in any store, I always have to get them on line. The pens I use all have Japanese writing on them. Anyway, here's hoping you can find them, but if not, don't forget the link or jetpens.

>>2985681

I found, and now almost exclusively use

Uni-ball Signo UM 151 (DX)

in either .28 or .38 width. The 38 is a good contrast for bolding my notes, and both thicknesses are great for writing small to get more on the page as I try to. I find both great for taking notes.

The UM-151 (DX)'s are excellent pens, I get them from jetpens - http://www.jetpens.com/Uni-ball-Signo-DX-UM-151-Gel-Ink-Pen-0.38-mm-Black/pd/306

They also have it in .5 mm, since you like it a bit thicker, although you may find a .38 thick enough. Anyways, hope this helps

>>2985682

lol I can sympathize. Aside from posting the scans earlier (and even those without my own, personal thoughts) I have rarely ever shown my notes to others as well.

>>2985672

re-reading that please don't take that in an insulting context. my meaning only that most of the time, our personal notes remain our own, and are seldom read by anyone else.

>>2985671

lol, >mfw >2985672

>>2985669

Thanks man I appreciate it. Don't worry about ugly handwriting. If anything hardly anyone else reads your personal notes, but, if you practice at it and write alot, doesn't even have to be anything spectacular, like here, can just be notes, but the more you do it, the better you'll get.

Are there any particular pens/pen sizes or notebooks you like to use?

>>2985667

Yeah I know. Just seemed like it would be avoiding a headache though. Anyways, I can post scans if you want. ?

>>2985656

I suppose I could, although I'm fairly certain it won't be very welcome here. It's title is - "A lecture on the Providence of God in the Government of the World."

But if you really want it I can post my notes on it, I don't have it copied completely verbatim, there's an intro part that goes off topic, but the rest I have down word-for-word. Again, if you want, sure.

>>2985643

I have used this before and it is a great technique. I don't get to do it frequently lately, but there is a particular lecture by Benjamin Franklin that I've copied most of into (I think) all of my volumes of notes since I first read and noted upon it. There is also something by John Jay I've copied into each of my new volumes as well in this manner.

Thanks for the input, I'm glad to hear of someone else using this, it's been a long time since I've encountered anyone who utilizes it.

>>2985518

I have used that method before, and still do from time to time. Although I've also found that when I find something to take note on, I'd prefer to write it down then, as the corresponding thoughts may fade, as I'll forget what I was thinking about specifically at the time I chose to highlight that passage. Almost like dreams, if I don't write them down while I'm thinking on them, I tend to forget.

Anyways, I do still use that method occasionally, and it's much easier for getting through whatever is being read more quickly.

Alright that's all the notes from Volume 3 of my notes, all of my own personal thoughts and various other notes excluded. Hope you liked and thanks for sticking around, was nice hearing from others who are into note-taking and such. I'll work on my other volumes and post them up here once I've scanned and edited them, should be next few days or so.
