I have a love affair with pens....but have had to hold myself back in the last few years. I just had too many, and nowhere to write with them. It was nuts! LOL!

I too love pens, but I am also super picky about which ones I will use. My current favorites are the PaperMate Inkjoy pens. They write like a dream. 
They have lots of colorful ones too, but I only use the fun colors at home.
I also must use a blue pen for most things. People are constantly giving me free pens and they always write in black. My hubby even know to check if a pen writes in blue... if it does he hands it over to me.
Mostly that started because at work we used a lot of paper drawing (we are mostly paperless now) but when I'd mark up a print in black, it would just blend in, but blue with show up better. Red of course is best for that, but I like blue better.
I was a little sad when my MIL took my boys back-to-school shopping because then I missed my opportunity to throw in a few extra pens for myself into the cart. Lol!

I love pens but I'm picky. Right now, my favorite is Uniball Signo 207. Officemax had them on sale for $1 a pack and I bought as much as I could to stock up. I have a problem. 
The stocking up is just in case they discontinue it. It has happened to me before when Zebra discontinued my old favorite - Zebroller 3000. :'(

That is totally me!
Totally my favorite too!!!I too love pens, but I am also super picky about which ones I will use. My current favorites are the PaperMate Inkjoy pens. They write like a dream.
I haven't been able to buy pens through employee purchase for almost 5 years - these are just a few of the stash that I still have left ...
And I have to admit, I'm sort of glad the markers are permanent markers - that way the grandkids "shouldn't" use them because they are messy and won't just clean up with water! So I will be able to keep them longer! Hee hee.

I. Love. Pens. I have sooo many, I finally went through and got rid of at least a few boxes, I still have a few left over.
I have one made from corn entirely, those recycled bottle pens, the post it note pens, every other kind you can think of, I use the Frixion ones too, but mostly for my Rocketbook, I didn't know you could use them on regular paper!
My ultimate favorite is from Zebra, they used to make this Jimnie gel rollerball pen that is AMAZING. I got some off of ebay and they're hoarded like woah. My other half asked if he could have one and the look I gave him made him throw up his hands and say "Sorry!! I didn't mean it!! Don't kill me! I'll just take this post it note one!" He's a pen snob too, but I'd have to serve him up for dinner if he touches my Zebra's.... >.>
Jan's (@IntenseMagic ) photo hit it on the head perfectly. Anyone want to do Pen Acrobatics (instead of Water Acrobatics!) with me? Synchronized! We'll be awesome! hehe
Maureen (@cookingmylife ) is it bad that when you said you divorced my first thought was "Oh no! Who got the refills in the settlement?!?!" :::
Kiana!! (@LoveItScrapIt ) I'm a leftie too!! You know what they say.. we're always in our 'right' mind! I'm the only leftie in this family... also, I kept getting stares in Korea while using chopsticks and I asked my Korean friend and she was like "Well.. you're American, and you use chopsticks really well.. which isn't all too shocking, we have foreigners that are decent, but it's the fact that you're also left handed... we don't really have those here, so you're going to get quite a few stares.." It was quite amusing!

ROFL @Serena - I'm the only lefty in my family too. I actually want to use chopsticks, but just had the "epiphany" to try them in my left hand, so next time I'm gonna do that. (insert, I am sorta ambidextrous as I do all other things with my right hand, except write and eat, so DUH why didn't I try them in my left hand first?)
