Jei and I went downstate this weekend to visit Sabine and Ben and had a fabulous time. There’s so much to sum up and talk about, but I really want to touch on two things first: Sabine and I made our own journals and there is a new series of Peach Girl. First, Peach Girl. This new series is after “Change of Heart”. Don’t worry, Toji doesn’t stick his fat head in the way of things, oh no, it’s even better: Sae stars. Yep, that’s right, forget Momo… well, she’s in it- but the jist is that K and Momo are in college and Sae has to retake her senior year. I ask you this- I ask you- WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT SAE?! I want… Kailey… and Momo… Please, I would like to know someone else’s obsessed opinion about this. I saw volumes one and two at the bookstore when Sabine and I were looking at the journals. Which leads me right on to the next bullet point:

I have so many personal journals it’s disgusting, but I burn through them quite a bit, and it seems as though all the good ones have jumped in price from the old days when they were $20 or a hurtful $25, to a massive $40-$60. I jest not. Ouch.

So we decided we’d buy a five dollar black “refill” journal and decorate them ourselves. We also got some wonderful fountain pens and spent some of our evening practicing with them. Four hours (that’s including all the time browsing through the bookstore and all of Michael’s) and roughly $10 later, we had finished our own personal journals. See Sabine’s here.
