I'm a long time pipe smoker. About a year and a half ago I decided to try cigars. That's where I learned the term "slippery slope" and its connotation of going into a new past time far deeper than you ever thought you would. I started out with a small desktop humidor, but six months later had a tower humidor that'll hold thousands of cigars.
I mention all that because this...

...Is starting to feel like a very slippery slope! This started with me coming across bullet journaling and thinking it my serve me well for both work and personal usage. I've often thought it'd be nice to have a book to write down my thoughts and to be able to reflect back on them.
While researching bullet journals, I came across a fountain pen somehow. That lead to many many many videos reviews on fountain pens and a quick Amazon order several days ago for the blue pen (Feeney / Jinhao 750). Two days later I ordered some noodlers ink. And today I ordered a couple more noodlers ink and a noodlers ahab (gotta love Amazon free same day delivery).
So like I said, this slope is feeling mighty slippery! Anyway, that's my story of how I got to where I am now. Looking forward to learning more before I make too many purchases I may regret.

That was the post I tried to enter a week ago but couldn't due to not being able to activate my account. Got it done another was since it seems like theres no active administration here.
Since then I've placed several new orders that included several bottles of ink and several more pens, including one for my wife (trying to get her hooked too :) )
Edit to add my last order from Goulet Pens. A Monteverde Artista and a Nemosine Singularity with a pile of ink samples. More pens and ink showing up on Monday.
