What do we like, people?

I was just considering the generic attractions of new and shiny stuff and how I feel about it (attracted, largely); and it occurred to me to wonder how others felt. Almost to make a poll of it, except that I don't do polls.

So. Pretend I do. When you reach for something to scribble in, would you rather that your reaching fingers found:

(a) a crisp new notebook fresh from its wrapping, untouched and pure and prepared, all ready to be devoted to something new; or

(b) an old and battered notebook, half-full of other ideas, stained and bent and pocket-worn?

Whole new ouchie!

If these are my iliac crests (*is not very good at biology*), my iliac crests are really sore. It's like backache in the front, whole new bones to hurt for no observable reason. Sigh.

I was going to do virtuous working again, but I dunno. Maybe I'll just drug myself into a stupor with alcohol and ibuprofen and Men in Black. Maybe.

Or not.

Honestly, I am so indecisive. I can't even wimp out convincingly.
