I finally took the time to photograph my vintage dip pen nib collection, and I need to share with you all how wonderful and diverse their designs are.

These two are my favorite. Just look at them! One of them is named Gorille and the other Mephisto, but to me they're little pumpkins.

And of course you gotta love the Pinocchio nib. You get to write with the nose of a tiny guy! Just not something you get to do anymore.

On my first day in Germany I got to my hotel and I couldn't get the lights to turn on. And I was like "Eh, fuck it, I'll just take a shower in the dark." And then the shower wouldn't get hot. I waited and waited and it stayed ice cold.

So I go down to the front desk and I'm like "My lights won't turn on and my shower won't get hot" so they send this guy up with me. We get into the room and I flick the switch and nothing happens so I'm like "See?"

And he goes "You must put your card in the slot."

"I... what? I have to put my room card in the light switch?"

"Of course!"

Now I have been in many hotels in the US and never encountered this concept, but apparently it was something most of their guests already knew. So I'm looking like a fool at this point. I feel like an idiot. The dude is fully grinning at me. I put the card in the slot and voila, the light turns on.

Then he's like "Ok, let's see if the shower works. You know you must wait for the hot water?" and I just know he's thinking I'm an idiot who also can't use a shower. This stupid American can't wait for the hot water! She can't even use a light switch or a shower!

And I guess he was distracted by these thoughts of my stupidity, because this dude fully stepped into the shower. In his nice dress shirt and slacks. He just. Gets into the shower.

And turns it on.

Have you ever seen a playing field get leveled instantaneously

at the spelling bee last night a child was sitting on his mom’s lap on stage (she was the contestant beside me in the front row) and i was wearing a chainmail shoulder accent and the four-year-old reached out to poke it so his mom silently grabbed his hand and he whispered “i like that thing” and I whispered back that he could touch it and so he started like tentatively touching the chainmail while i watched the other contestants spell their words and then suddenly he grabbed it in both hands and just shook me violently to hear the sound the chainmail made so his mom stopped him again and I was biting back laughter so hard i almost started crying on stage.

after the bee my friends in the audience were like “why did that kid attack you in the third round”

No offense but I think some of you would be a lot happier writing a fictional atlas or encyclopedia instead of a narrative story
