Show us your pens and pencils.

1st photo: One box to rule them all. *dons supernerd cape and flies off* This is to remind you that I am OCD inclined and everything has it's proper place in OCD land. Gotta be neat...gotta be tidy. (Geebie, that was just for you, munchkin)

2nd photo: The Sharpies. Must.Hide.From.The.Sibby.

3rd photo: Fibracolor, 100 markers. I was suprised at their economical cost, durability and super vibrant colors.

4th photo: What's a girl without a pencil box? I keep my colored pencils and the standard ones as well. Plus my nubby eraser stick that works much better then the crap they stick to the end of stand issue pencils. Gross.

I also use the Pilot G2 Gel, black ink only but they are solely for my journal. My left hand likes them. I rarely have problems with ink flow, and I like to have continuity of ink across journal pages.

That is all.

[this is good]

you're a black ink only girl! *gasp*

i'm a blue ink only girl. rare is the day when i will submit to necessity and use a black ink pen.

i'm jealous of your myriad colored pencils and markers. and the sharpies!

[this is good]

I use the same gel pen. I love them, they dry so fast that they don't smudge all over my hand while I write. It's bad enough having to put up with notebook rings and book binding getting in the way without having to wash my hands every few minutes to remove ink stains. (I wonder what left handers did in the age of ink and quill pens? That must have been really awkward.)

[this is good]

Yup, I also have a toolbox to hold everything and to keep them in once place all at the same time! Plus a pencil mug on my computer table where I also keep a pair of emergency steel chopsticks in case I'm too lazy to go to the kitchen to get a fork. Hehe.

Lefties rule Jamie. I think in the days of quill, we just utilized messengers. I shudder to think. Between them, and chalkboards (and today dry erase boards)...

Lemon...what a BRILLIANT IDEA! (Would you mind if I dropped a pair in my mug. To think of all the trips to the kitchen I'd save!!!)

I just did excessive exclamation. I hate when I do that.

actually... in the days of quill and ink, you would both (if we could all write at all, that is) have been forced to learn how to write right-handed. left handedness was frowned upon and not allowed. something to do with excessive religiosity and left being sinister in latin and having all the connotations thereof and associations with being succeptible to the influence of the devil.

my grandmother to this day can write with both hands because she was forced to write right-handed as a child.

just to...yanno... be all technical and geeky and stuff.

Girls, in the day of the quill lefties got tied behind their back and forced to learn to write with the right hand.
I don't care what colour ink I use. That's not one of my compulsions. Love the marker variety, though.
Piece of trivia for you; in Canada they call coloured pencils, pencil crayons. Lesson over. ;o)

Yeah I should recalled that. I got my hands cracked by nuns repeatedly until my leftie father came to school and uh...raised hell.

Egad, RPM, it's like pornography! I started to drool when I clicked over here.

The Catholic Church still doesn't approve of left-handedness, as evidenced by my own forced "conversion."

huh. i went to catholic school, and i'm pretty sure there were a couple of lefties in my class. none of them ever got smacked for it. of course, there was also a jewish kid in my class... maybe we were just "progressive".

of course, that was before the current pontiff took "office". who knows, maybe we'll be going back to that, along with Mass in Latin.

[this is good]

aww man that's good...and I agree. it's like porno... i am having a fit. i think i need a cigarette. LMBO

[this is good]

i am soooooooooooooooooooo envious!

*resisted urge to do the multi-exclamation point thingie*

Wow. I bow to your organizational skills.

I never realized my need to have the *right* pen was all about ink flow. I thought it was my OCD coming through...

Pens in #3 are terribly disorganized for an OCD-er. What gives?

I KNOW! I'm so proud of that. It's the messiest thing in my home. They were mid play. Typically if I'm packing them up for a few days, they get put away a bit neater. But they don't usually go untouched for more than two days at a time. They're especially welcomed during conference calls.
