Pen obsession
I have a thing about pens. They have to write just right: the flow of the ink, the size of the ball point, whether they scratch the paper or not... My favorite pen of all time is a stainless steel Jotter by Parker. But these pens are now running close to $9 for a single pack. Too expensive, especially when I carry pens around and tend to lose them in the process. Second favorite and current working-must is a zebra pen: again stainless steel finish, but has a black grip. Today, my husband brought me home a new one. It's also a zebra, but it's expandable: you can "shut" it down to a half the size and pull it open again to write. I am trying it out now. The upper half is cherry sports-car red and the bottom half is ribbed steel. Luxurious. And how does it write, you ask? Perfect.

This makes me smile. I remember you telling me about this pen obsession! I have one too, but its not a specific type of pen. I just have to write with it to see how it feels. Then I decided if it's good enough to write with! My current fave...the pens I stole from the apartment's leasing office! :)
