I was going to eat a delicious dinner tonight but then I realized it was more cost effective to have some plain gruel and water. Tomorrow I will donate all my clothing to charity and dress only in burlap sacks* because cost effectiveness is the only standard by which we should live our lives.

Do you liek this new pen I bought? It's a Revolution DX-78 Stainless MC8 with matching grip and personalized holding features. I hope I get to show it to you one day. Maybe then you'll get rid of that old piece of junk pen you've been using to do sign your social security and pay for grandpas medical bills. Anyway, have I told you aboutt League of Legends?

Platinum makes their own ink. They have one bottled purple, Silky Purple. Is that the color?
They also sell Platinum Purple cartridges, which might be the actual ink that came with the pen.

60mL of ink will last for years. If you like the color and plan to use it frequently there's no reason to not buy ink in bottles.

Or you can just replace the platinum preppy, but that gets even more costly over time.

Now gimme that Delta Fusion with it's gold steel combination nib. Did you know it enhances the physical-chemical properties of the ink in concert thanks to its production characteristics? Did you know that a precious metal plate on top of a boring old steel nib heats up the ink for superior flow? I'm not making that poo poo up (pdf) :eng99:.

Hahah I'm aware that 60 ml will last. Just used to spending in the neighbourhood of like $10 - $12 for ink. I will be able to get some, because it's not a colour I use everyday. If it means that I can get that shade that I want, it'll be worth it once I have a bit of income.

Pretentious luxury product makers are retarded and sometimes happen to make pens, but good pens that aren't clunky rich people accessoires with a writing function tacked on are still nice to use. No wait, that represents a slight departure from a simplistic black and white argument.

You're going to love it. All my life I have been using cheap, plastic pens just fot work and various projects. I've recently gotten my hands on TWSBI Dia (for short) and I am in love. It really gets the job done and leaves such a pleasurable experience.
