Hello from Surrey, England!

[ViciousLooRoll]

Hi,

I'm Alex, those of you from the /r/fountainpens subreddit may know me as /u/ViciousLooRoll.
I am a technology enthusiast and gamer in my final year of my GCSE exams, hooray!
My other hobbies include web development and nice, long walks.

My collection is relatively small (https://www.instagram.com/p/-Y3BVWOHcX/) in comparison to most of you but my friends still think I'm a nutter for spending more than £2 on a pen :) (I have 2 other pens which are not included in this picture, a red Parker 45 and a Kaweco Sport in dark brown).

I was fortunate enough to get the Instagram username "@FountainPens (https://www.instagram.com/fountainpens/)", where I post most of my latest pens, inks and notebooks.

I am currently in the process of creating my own blog, called thehoodednib.com (http://thehoodednib.com) (a somewhat witty play on words (https://en.gravatar.com/userimage/97752267/758b13d5b565ff394efaaef32a0d1722.png?size=600)) and have decided that the Namisu Nova will be my début review.

If you have anything you would like to know about me, feel free to ask.

Thanks,

Alex

Welcome Alex, nice to meet you.

Hello and welcome. Good luck with your GCSEs. I don't remember them well! If you combine technology and long walks, perhaps you could try geocaching (GPS treasure hunt).

I used to do geocaching, haven't done any recently though, must get back into it!

Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell.

Make sure you get to see the giant Redwoods while you are in the Bay area.

AbE: and listen to Lou Rawls.

Welcome Alex!
I know how you feel :D. One time, I relented when asked and told a relative that I spent $30 on, yes One pen. They just didn't understand :bolt: The fact that that included tax as well, didn't redeem me. Lesson learned :)
Hey, one of my favorite singers, ( Peter Gabriel ) is from Surrey too :)
