I bought my second fountain pen... I assume this is how it starts... :'D

I haven't been using my notebook at work that much because I've been too busy, which is probably good because the cap on my Safari has gotten a bit loose from use and I've been letting it rest. Unfortunately this also meant that the ink in the cartridge had finally dried -- fortunately there was only a little bit left in it anyway so it's not a great loss. I'm also gonna try the purple ink next, turns out writing in black is simply not as much fun as Bright Colours. I was way less motivated to do my toki pona homework when I stopped using the red ink.

As far as I can tell, the nib is a bit bent and out of alignment now, but as far as I could tell, it still writers relatively well on the softer paper of my proper notebook. I'm gonna grab a loupe from work and check b/c I have jewellers sandpaper which I can use for repairs, most likely :|c I might just get a new nib for it, though. Thanks for the advice! :D

That should be all you need, assuming the sandpaper is a good... grain? Strength? harshness? (Depending somewhat on how they're bent, of course - there are some ways that are very hard or impossible to fix, but the common ones aren't.)
