One thing that I am not is touchy about the fact that I love what I love. And I love Moleskine notebooks. And I love manual typewriters, especially the Hermes 3000, and I love quite a lot of other like-minded stuff. Well, Moleskine notebooks are #122 in the list of Stuff While People Like. Sad but true.
This particular type of notebook is very expensive and was quite popular with writers and artists in the olden days. Needless to say, these are two properties that are highly coveted in the white community. In fact, it’s a good rule of thumb to know that white people like anything that old writers and artists liked: typewriters, journals, suicide, heroin, and trains are just a few examples.
Let’s see what else I like that white people like — the bold ones I feel especially strong about:
