Fabulous, erika!
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Lilty: go European notebooks. Choose European notebooks! They are funny sizes, and usually cross-ruled like lab books.
If you must go for notebook frippery, go for the leather notebook cover that people like Levenger sell. Key component: removable, so you can put it on different notebooks as the time goes by.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cross ruled? Lab books? Please do explain!

I can't write on graph paper, my brain gets confused.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Yep, bringing a 'lil spiral then buying something pretty in Europe sounds like the way to go.

Oh, cool. Only our math books were graph paper. Well, not the fine graph -- .5cm increments, not 1mm. God, we had such paper rules in school. They controlled that more than the uniforms.

Who? moi??
I carry the little 3" x 5" notebooks for random thoughts, addresses of people I meet, records of how much a trinket cost (for customs), odds and ends. Also if I am traveling with someone and sharing expenses, how much each of has spent for dual things, like meals, lodging, etc.
These little memory joggers are wonderful years later. Also money conversions. I find out how much the currency is worth in my familiar money (dollars) so I can bargain or shop. On Oct 1, lordy knows what year, the British pound was worth 1.473 dollars. 35 pounds was $51.56.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Remembering the paper fixations from school during the first nine years of my life (pre-USA), and shuddering. I thought I'd been unlucky about the fixations on size and weight...
Teppy! New topic?

graph paper
Yes, that is what I meant. I don't think all notebook paper is like this, but it seemed like much more of it was than wasn't.
(Until last year, my permanent currency conversion was 1 pound = $1.50, more or less. Last year, I discovered that it's more like $1.85, which was depressing.)
