EVERY word, good sir . Fret not. PS, for your next pen (25$,) I'd highly recommend the Kaweco Sport, Broad Nib. Comes in various colors, too!
although they may be hard to find in various colors, and there are some stupid derivatives that are very expensive and needlessly so, this will do the trick..
converters are the silly little midget piston style you see here:
*really* -----really------- nice pen. i prefer them to the lamy, because they write like liquid accurate butter, on the page.
more nib flexibility, than the lamy, but not trashing the lamy, either. i've owned a safari or two back in the day, and no matter how much i wish it had worked like this pen, it didn't.
if i had a choice of any pen under 80$ it'd basically be this one.
