So, I like pens. I love some, but pens are awesome, so many different types and sizes and styles.
Also mechanical pencils...they are cool too because they are so pen like.

Here are some of my favs:

Pilot Precise v5, absolute perfection in roller ball form. Great ink flow for liquid ink, long lasting, minimalist design, visible ink reservoir. I am currently operating one that I have had for six months, still going strong. Here is a picture of one...

Faber-Castell Brush Pen, fuckin' class for that brush tip ass. All the awesome line interest of an ink brush in pen form, solid ink that doesn't bleed, comes in many colors, long lasting and pretty cheap. hell. yes.

Alvin Draft/Matic .09 Drafting Pencil. Build like a tank and lays down thick lead goodness. Easy to refill, joy to write with. Pull one of these bad boys out and mother fuckers recognize.

Uniball Kuru Toga .05 Mechanical Pencil. Draw, Mother Fucker, Draw! You Don't Have To Rotate The Pencil. It Did That Shit For You! It's Axe Is On Fire! It Killed Your Parents!

no really... it rotates the lead while you write or draw.

What pens do you love?

    do germans have entire stores dedicated to quirky stationary in their malls

    sometimes several of them on the same floor?

    if so then yes

    when i first started writing , i was really particular about buying pens just for that. After losing them every freaking month or so, I stopped that nonsense.

    Although you have to bear in mind that, at least in Seoul, shopping is typically organized like that. All the stores for X item are in one place, all the stores for Y item are in another... I've decided it's sort of convenient once it stops being overwhelming.

    I usually have one pen at a time that I keep in my bag and more often than not I would have found it left behind on a desk at uni

    i'll either lose it before it runs out and find another one or one i've lost before will turn up again

    I do not take pens very seriously

    I have this one parker pen that I got for specifically my filofax that I never used cause it was strictly ornamental

    it must have go the pen equivalent of blue balls and one day it exploded everywhere because it got fed up watching inferior pens spill their ink all over his partner

    It really is! I got horribly lost in the stationary block during my first week in Seoul, which is behind and intricately bound to the camera block of Namdaemun (one of the big markets).

    They do have some bitchin' paper, and they wrap things really beautifully, as I discovered in my journey to the surface.

    Also good morning Usagi, how are you?

    I still use a mechanical pencil I've had for over a decade.
    I thought I lost it once, and was depressed over it.

    Do you have any idea how fucking retarded you feel explaining that you feel sad because you lost a mechanical pencil?
    Let me tell you... You feel pretty fucking retarded.

    But then I found it again, and everything was ok.

    They certainly have a million billion varieties; some of them are probably hand-made! I'd have to hit the dictionary to puzzle out how to ask them. But it's all really gorgeous stuff. I'm secretly kind of a stationary nut, and I left all of my good stuff in the States because I am a big fat dumb.

    Also, I am okay! Feelin' kinda tired, kinda stuck-in-a-rut, but I'm on vacation! So that's nice.

    I am a not-so-secret paper nut, but I do a lot of origami so I have an excuse.

    Vacations are awesome, I hope you're having a good time! I'm counting the days until I leave for PAX, I'm so ready for a long break from work.

    As president of the debate team, I am extremely conscious of my pen usage

    for important purposes I exclusively use a blue or black G2

    of course, I use the 07 series. Some people claim that the 10 series is better but they are filthy liars; that one has too much traction.

    I don't get it.

    Most school systems are not real big on left handed chair-desk combos, conntributing to the torture that is trying to write left handed without getting ink all over yourself. I have been out of school for over a dozen years, and I don't think I will ever lose the ill will that this generated in me towards pens and pencils.

    If I do have to use a pencil though, I prefer mechanical ones.
