Im a writer, by a construd and odd means. In that I would by a long push, prefer to write something down then type most things. I find certin digital medias cumbersom and less useful than a good old piece of paper. My calandar, is one of my biggest, must be paper devices, I have two paper calandars, a phone and a Google calandar, and of the four my paper conuter parts see me on a day to day, almost hour by hour by hour basis, while my google version, see me once a week, and my phone, which is a organ of my body, sees me the least. I find more pleasure in being able to actually write something down, I can put it exactly as I wishm in my own format and handwriting. To had humor, with my own handwriting, an imbeded code of confusion with my handwriting is added, as you should try to read what I write for only my eyes some time, as it can be quite puzzling.
What I write with though, is where I find my greatest joy. When it come to the world of inks, I like heavy bold dark and wet. My best pens for that a time and time again, the Pilot Precise V5, they come in an array of colorts plenty, and sold in all black and blue. Their tips are fine and needle like, and ink flow is heavy, but not flooding. My only grip, is that their constructions is oddly gasketed, and will tend to leak, almost garenteed to leak if exposed to intense temps. and most certinly if put through a wash. If you visit some of my shirt pockets, evidence lies there. Their look to is something I have a bit of pride for as well, simple. no curves, no guey grips all 90* angles, and they have componets that can be taken apart, to aid in idle times.
Pencils, I really do enjoy more often then I get the chance to use. Both mechanical and standard yellow. Mechanicals, are slightly less favored, only for that, the are to have a supply of rods, Ive yet to find a handle that I find sitting to my hand, and more often then not, they break in some manner. But their convience of not requireing a sharpener, proves to be a amazing thing time and time again.
I find a good old pencil a good thing to have in my book. I remember in high school, more so than right now (I'm in a pen mode lately for college, more so than pencil) there would be pencils out there, that were of a character of themself, some for instance would never sharpen, you could but you would always come out of the perfect sharp, for it to have broken the graphite as soon as you go to write, it would come out a broken piece. While others seemed to go through being shap too soon, and you seem odd going to the pencil sharpener by the door every too often. Here and there, was a good pencil, never purchased, and always found, and you would hold on to it intently.... ahh, a bit of joy in the day.
