OMG! I'm not alone! *wine

I love my Uni-Ball Signo. Especially the orange one. And walmarts new line, @theOffice, they have a similar one that I love

I love the PaperMate Profile. It writes nice and smooth and you don't have to press hard for it to write dark.

I love this post. I'm a non-repentant office supply junkie. :D Right now I am loving Bic VelocityGel pens. They feel great writing on a thick legal pad in clinical.

I went to Staples yesterday and got TWELVE packages of Bic Atlantis pens. The pack of 6 pens were on sale for $2 each, combined with the "Buy 2 BIC products - get 1 free", I paid $16 for 72 pens. Such a good deal!

I hate pens that write thin - they don't tend to roll easily across the page and I actually tend to put a lot of pressure down when I write. I am in love with Paper-Mate Profiles "The World's Smoothest Pen" 1.4mm. They do run out of ink quickly though, which is annoying. I stocked up on a ton of them a couple of weeks ago.

GASP! Pens that write thin are my absolute FAVORITE! :yeah:

I know! Most people prefer thin - but I have noticed those who prefer thin tend to have a light hand when it comes to writing. I press down pretty hard. And my penmanship is very "direct contact" style for whatever reason - I have also noticed those who prefer thin tend to have more of a "printing" style of writing...? Not sure if this would hold up as evidenced based though ;) I hate felt tip pens the most!

My favorite for taking notes and overall writing is the Precise V5 by Pilot. Comes in all colors besides black and blue which I use to distinguish main points or curious info. I NEVER let anyone borrow my pens...they are apart of me and if I lost one it's like loosing an arm :uhoh3:....sounds crazy I know lol.

I write in cursive and print both, depending on... my mood, I guess? I'm not sure. Also, the type of pen I'm using determines whether or not I write or print.

I hate felt tips, too!
