Hi, LJ people. As you can probably guess, Justin got me my typewriter for Christmas!  I was quite surprised - he hadn't given me the slightest hint.  It takes some getting used to. I have to hunt and peck or I don't hit the keys hard enough to register properly, and all the punctuation is in funny spots.  I also can't find the apostrophe.  I guess it's this thing on top of the 8 key.  You also use it to build exclamation points by typing it, then backspacing and typing . under it.  On the other hand, it has 1/4, 1/2 and the cents sign as their own keys, and it makes a pleasing DING! at the end of every line. Huzzah for typewriter!Me typing on my new typewriter


Merry Christmas, everybody!

I am so jealous! I have like half a dozen typewrites like that and they DO NOT WORK!

Rock! I had a typewriter when I was a kid, and they are oh so cool. Good luck finding ribbon for them though.

Very nice! You look so professional in that picture, with the sweater and kick-ass typewriter.

She's hammering away on it now. She just finished a letter to her grandmother, now she's on a new page with the heading "THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL." She's so cute.
