Iin, to find old fashioned typewriters to be aesthetically appealing?
First off, I'm not sexually attracted to typewriters. But for some reason, I find them to be physically appealing. I love the way the form of their bodies often curve. I love the models that have raised circular buttons. The thing I love most about them is the sound the keys make when in use. That loud but heavenly "Click-tha-TACK" sound. I find it to be very comforting and stimulating on a emotional and mental level. For the past few years, I've felt some sort of "pull" towards them and I don't know what it is...
A few months ago, I inherited an old fashioned typewriter from my grandmother. As much as I like it, I can't seem to bring myself to use it. Its not the typewriter of my dreams. I don't know what the model is but the typewriter of my dreams has a shiny black metal body. It curves in a way that is reminiscent of a woman but not overly so. The keys are raised at different heights for different rows. The buttons on the keys are circular. They are outlined in white, the middle is a vibrant black with a somewhat matte texture and the letters are white; neither too minuscule or too large. Everything is just right.
Is it normal for me to feel this way towards typewriters?
