Are you really picky about what type of pen you use? I am LOL. Currently I am Pilot V-Ball addicted. Great pens! My life just isn't quite the same if I don't have a Pilot V-Ball, Extra Fine, on hand LOL.

Some pens I truly hate, like those at the bank. You know those ones chained up, heh, like someone's gonna want one of those cheap skipping roller things! You'd think a bank would have enough money to at least have decent pens available, so they could read people's writings with them easier for one. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Oh but then there are those lovely DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) pens, on a chain too, that are even worse, most are usually totally out of ink, and some you have to press so hard to get any ink going, and it still skips when you do. You end up going over and over the skipped portions, LOL, ack! Bastaids. The funny part is, that some pens are totally gone from their holders in the DMV, so some people actually ripped the little chained pen away and took off with it LOL. "I Must Have This Fabulous Pen!!!! I don't care who is looking, or if it is against the law, I'm making it outta here with this baby!" [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] Man you can get a whole pack of cheap pens for a dollar at the dollar store. What's up with that LOL?

I have to use uniballs or I die. [img]tongue.gif[/img] I hate those ballpoint pens...

Illumina Drathiran'ar 11-10-2004 10:41 PM

I really like the Pentel RSVP pens, but the pens I use most are high-quality pens that people give me as gifts.

I have a nice parker, i did my final exams with it, it alone got me a minimum extra 20%, then it ran out half way through physics....


BUT i had two replacment cartridges with me, so i was saved!

In future if i get anywhere all credit must go to the parker.

Dirty Meg 11-11-2004 12:14 AM

I prefer to write with crayons.

Dron_Cah 11-11-2004 01:07 AM

I use pencils. So stone-age!! [img]tongue.gif[/img] (well, mechanical pencils are the best, so not-so-stone age!) :D

SecretMaster 11-11-2004 01:48 AM

I use the $1.99 10 pack of BIC ballpoint pens from staples.

Maj 11-11-2004 02:29 AM

I also buy the bic brand, for eighter pen or mechanical pencil... it is by far my favorite brand, everything else just seems overpriced or so cheap that it'll brake.

Aelia Jusa 11-11-2004 03:35 AM

I'm not too picky but I like a fine-point nib. Medium I find I write more untidily. But fine-point tend to get clogged too easily and the pen is unusable when there's still stacks of ink! I also like pens that are really fat. But mostly I use a mechanical pencil; after I did a stack of marking this year with it I got hooked on the smooth thin rub-outiness of it :D

Sigmar 11-11-2004 03:48 AM

My weapon of choice is the... "Papermate Gel-roller 0.55mm tip "

...'course now it's outta production so I have to use the "Pilot Hi-Tecpoint V5-Extra fine"

Kakero 11-11-2004 05:08 AM

I prefer to use this black Pilot G-2 pen. It's ink is visible even after you fax or photocopy the document. In fact I've instructed everybody in the company to use these pens if official documents are involved.

Bahamut 11-11-2004 08:52 AM

I have no idea... but I want my pen to be classy. [img]smile.gif[/img] I have a parker pen. It's slim black with gold plated parts. It was a good investment. :D

Stratos 11-11-2004 08:53 AM

Depend on what I'm writing. At school I use pencils mainly, easier to corret erros that way.

The two dozen pens I have at home are either Pilots or Bics.

Me too! Pilot G-2 (0.7 mm) is my favorite pen because it is easier to write with. But it has a few minor problem, mainly with correction fluids and on certain types of paper.

Iron Greasel 11-11-2004 11:23 AM

I use a 0.5mm mechanical pencil with F leads. In addition to thet I have normal pencils ranging from H5 to B8. As pens I use whatever I find, and if it breaks, I'll just buy some stuff from the local bookstore and get a new free pencil.

Xen 11-11-2004 11:31 AM

I use a Parker and Pilot pen. (Those rock!)

Ivelliis 11-11-2004 11:51 AM

As long as it isn't one of those annoying pens, you know the ones where you press down and the nib goes up!

It all depends on which one I find on a morning before school, or which one the teacher has what I can borrow.

RoSs_bg2_rox 11-11-2004 12:12 PM

Parker all the way!!! I have a couple of Parker pens which I always use and they have tided me through thick and thin! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

philip 11-11-2004 03:54 PM

I use BIC pens at school since it doesn't matter if they break, get lost/"lost". At home I have another BIC one named velocity and it's pretty good. I also have 2 pens from an uni I want to go to next year and those are good as well. I have a Lamy one as well, I don't know what it's called, not a ballpoint but the other sort. I don't use it much cause the ink reservoirs empty soon and it gives some serious stains if I don't write properly.

Jorath Calar 11-11-2004 04:15 PM

Ballpoint

Dron_Cah 11-11-2004 05:33 PM

The ones that get stuck ing printers. :D

Spirits forever 11-11-2004 06:54 PM

NORMAL OL" PENCILS!! what else do you expect me to use... meachanical pencils...Pshhhh, that's old XD, plus u can't draw so easily with them XD
oh wait....we were supposed to write..not draw eh?

well still pencil, since then if i get bored of writing (And you'll have a hard time beliving how often that is) i can draw on the side (same here)

so yeah PENCILS!!!

Bungleau 11-11-2004 11:08 PM

My company gives out MontBlanc knock-off pens to its customers. I use one of those -- very nice, and a good feel to it. I used to have a MontBlanc, but I lost it at the security checkpoint in the Toronto airport :(

I think my favorite commercial pen is an Opti-Flow pen that I got from Staples. I had a gift certificate to use, and my order was just a couple bucks short of the gift certificate. On-line, they wouldn't let me just give them the balance... I had to buy something else, and bought these cheap pens. They were really worth it... :D

Callum 11-11-2004 11:22 PM

I don't mind really, But I do have a preference for black kilometrico Papermate pens, medium point. Cheap, nice, and also reliable and long lasting. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Animal 11-12-2004 01:21 AM

Black ones, preferably with a medium point.

Fine tips, piss me off.

Leonis 11-15-2004 12:38 AM

Working as a sound engineer, I must have my Sharpies!

Cloudbringer 11-15-2004 09:04 AM

Hubby loves his sharpies, too, Leonis! And he's addicted to gel pens..some specific brand, but darned if I remember it! LOL

I like the Uniball Onyx pens and right now we've got Papermate Comfortmates that aren't too bad. We have cheapie stick pens for 'leave on the desk and someone will swipe them' pens at the office. :D
