Ok Randi, no more testicles. A new post, however pointless it may turn out to be.

The fact of the matter is I hate black pens. Now don't go and get your knickers in a knot, I'm not a racist (I have a coloured tv). I won't not write with a black pen, but I do try to avoid it. I find I write a whole lot messier with black ink...and I blame the pen. I need a nice blue pen that writes with a thicker line. The ideal pen? The Medium Patermate Flexgrip Ultra Ballpoint Pen.
I won't even bother going into the fact that I'll steal a nice blue pen if I come across it. Rather, I take it and leave behind a black one that I hate.
I know. I have issues.

hahah.. i WILL NOT write with a black pen. It HAS to be blue.

I think it was more or less, when i would copy something, i could never tell which was the original to send out.
and i just.. like blue..

i will write in red, but only headers on notes in school and such..

other than that, blue. i have a few black that i have HAD to write with, due to stuff for the wedding (? dont ask me why we HAD to do things in black pen)

so im with you. if i find a pen that writes nicely, i will steal it.

The keyboard has murdered my handwriting. Blac or blue. Does't matter. A reader won't be able to tell if it's mine or of a mexican howler monkey.

I am the same way. I prefer a nice blue ink. I justify it by saying that it is easier for me to distinguish an original from a copy. :)

I gotta wonder sometimes how you come up with the topics you do! A different take on ink colours, though, since that's the topic of the day.

When I was teaching, I ALWAYS used to use a GREEN pen to mark any tests, papers, etc. instead of the standard RED. I got a helluva lot less arguments from students whining about wanting an extra mark here or there because of it....green is such a feel-good color, and red is a cold hard prickly. Seems that you always want to argue "red" for some reason!

For what it's worth!!

I'll use whatever I can find. I mainly journal in black in my scrapbook albums, though.
