You sniff your pens and inks.

-you feel naked with out a fountain in your pocket
-nib gazing through a lope for hours
-you watch Youtube pen reviews and call it "Pen Porn"

...you go home for 'lunch' everyday just to check if the next parcel of ink/pens has been delivered.

...when you can tell by the smell what the previous ink was in the ebay pen you just got.

Dotted around the forum. There's plenty in this thread.
...You laugh like a maniacal supervillian while extending the snorkel on that vintage Scheafer.

... The most important item in your bag, whenever you go out, is a fountain pen and if you don't have one, you simply must turnaround, go home and get one (even of you're only going to buy some milk).
... You continually describe colours using the names of inks.

My coworker (who is not into pens) accompanied me when I met with Mike Dudek and Dan Bishop of KarasKustoms and said afterward, "I did not know you could carry on a 2 hour conversation all about pens!"

You have a notebook dedicated to listing in all your inks and another notebook dedicated to listing all your pens, including whichever ink they currently hold and whichever nib is currently fitted (and you faithfully log all changes of inks and nibs). And, oh, yes, you also have a listing of all your nibs and whether they are currently in use.

You buy a hideous pen off ebay to get the gorgeous nib.

... tedious and long meetings are fun to you because you get to:
1. take lots of colour coded notes using your FPs, and
2. stare at the ink swishing inside your demonstrator when there's nothing worthwhile to jot down.

...at 11:30 pm you find out the mail carrier came and left a package from Goulet Pens at 7:30 pm, and get out of cozy bed and walk to your mailbox 200 yards away in 3 degrees Fahrenheit.
