for the love of old typewriters
My brother, who is a genius, asked me; "Why not get a typewriter? That way you wouldn't be told to get off the computer, and you could write all you want."
I thought this was a very good idea. But then today, I was on Pinterest, pinning, and I came across a picture of an adorable vintage typewriter. And all I could think was, ohmygosh I want a typewriter so bad.
So guess what my new obsession is? Typewriters. And not those slightly-more-modern plastic ugly ones. I mean real typewriters. Like this one.

An hour later I'm being told that my allotted amount of computer time was over a long time ago, and I need to do useful things.
Or even if I'm not told to get off. The internet doesn't usually inspire me. It ends up confusing me and then I never get any writing done.
And it's not just the practicality. I'm also being my dreamer head-in-the-clouds self and imagining myself at my desk sipping a cup of black coffee (ew) in a fifties dress with golden light streaming in through the windows. I actually have a thing for the fifties. I love their dresses.
I wonder, where would one purchase a nice, black and gold typewriter that doesn't cost way more than I can afford (which is almost nothing. I need to get a job. sigh)? I must look into this. You know, once I find my birth certificate and all.

A type-writer would be so nice! I totally see pleasantry in sitting by that window and typing away. Because of my constantly being on the computer (for school) I've found I actually write better typing than writing out by hand, especially for longer compositions. A type-writer would solve all my problems. And, even though everyone says "just turn off the internet on your computer"...it's still not as romantic as using a real old type-writer.
