Went to buy a new pen today. Spent 10 mins checking all pens in the shop, to find one that was right -- gel or liquid ink, thick barrel, thickish nib, padding around the bit you hold. One nice one but 4.50 is too much for a disposable.

Finally find one that seemed good. Solid coloured too. Test it on the test paper. All good.

Bought it. Got it to use and it's too thin & faint. Bah.

Oh, you're like me. I'm a pen snob. It has to be blue ink, and the tip can't be too hard. I like the big ones with a soft grip, but my handwriting seems to prefer the old fashioned clear-case Bics (or is it Papermate?)

I love gobby ink too. Splotches and trails and inky hands are the best!

Gawd, I'm such a dork.

I went through a blue ink stage, then it was purple, now it's black. 'tis odd.

This is the thing you use to write somewhere away from your computer, like little cafes with hot chocolate, where it is easier to write when you don't feel like it
