My demanding roommate (I say, fondly)

He's tried some of my fountain pens before, and I think he didn't really like them, but every once in a while he tries again.

Last Friday, be found out my notebook was dotted, and he didn't know of dot grid notebooks before, and made me play a game he used to play in school. We needed two pens and he refused to use ballpoints, saying he wanted My Pens and mock-outraged "are you saying I'm not good enough to use the good pens?!"

Today, he had a coworker in the home office and asked to borrow a pen. I gave him a Majohn A1 with a Pilot Blue cartridge and overheard them commenting how cool the pen was.

Now he says this is my best pen, that all the others he thought were mediocre, but this one made him understand. I said I'm happy he said that because it means I can stop lending him pens and he said "you can lend me that one again the next times". I showed him the A2 and the Jinhao 10 I have (he doesn't know they're different models) and he said "no, I want that one, maybe the others aren't as good, maybe it's the ink that is better." I have no idea how he got that piece of pen knowledge. But he doesn't know about good paper yet.
