    what is your choice?

    i like pencil. but a good pen i like more. except you wouldn't catch me ever buying an expensive pen...

    pencils are weak though, can break easier.

    those basic pens at hotels n such can be turned into a deadly spit wad shooter...

    construction pencils must be sharpened with a razor at work. those don't break though..

    pens can break and ruin your shirt, cloths, car seat... ect ect

    I am left handed, so I hate writing in pencil. I like to use a good quality pen that dries fast and doesn't smear too much.

    What's this "writing" you speak of?

    It depends. I like a real sharp number two. I hate mechanical pencils. I too am left handed and prefer fast drying ink.

    keyboard and computer. although i do like fine point felt pens for taking notes in my pocket notebook, when i don't have something computer like with me.

    being able to do things by playing on the computer is one of the main motivators in my life. there are a great many things, writing stuff down being one of them, i would probably only do a third as often, if that, without it.

    i know this because i was born 30 years before personal computers were available at personally affordable prices.

    pencils can be repaired with a pocket knife or any other sharp object.
    as long as there's enough of them left.
    there will always be places where this is a major consideration.
    as long as there is air to breathe and humans to breathe it.

    Pen for their permanence and I like the scribbles when I mess something up.

    I like a dark, thick pen the most...no fine points for me. If it starts skipping, I toss it. Pens that have sudden blobs or start skipping (when it is still full) have made me lose my temper. :smash: :cuss:

    I also like to write with soft, dark pencils. I even keep a nice rectangle eraser handy for mistakes. I learned how to keep my pencil points sharp too many years ago to admit. :)

    Blue pens, almost exclusively. I only use something else when I can't find any blue ones.

    Pencils make me wanna draw.

    This reminded me of shooting spit balls back in the day. We had a teacher who was completely oblivious, so my buddy and I pushed the limits. We made new borders on the US map and covered the clock to the point you couldn't see what time it was. Haha I totally forgot about that until now.

    Zebra brand pens are my favorite. I don't like writing with pencil, it's just not smooth enough. And a neat thing about Zebra pens is you can break them down and turn them into pinch hitters in a matter of seconds. :D

    you take pen, and pull both ends off

    so you got white tube for snorting coke

    then you put a spit wad of paper pretty tight right in center of tube

    then you gotta go find something stronger than the ink line, like a small paint brush you jack from art class...

    then you put another spitwade at the end, not not as tight as the center one. then just push paintbrush with palm of hand and watch em fly. we got good at it.

    with the ink part of the pen still attached to the little metal piece you get a rubber band that can fit in the tube, tupull it back and shoot the ink into the ceiling.

    so then after a week or two they start falling down in the middle of class.

    this only worked one year, cause the room was an old libary with 30foot ceilings.
