I love pens. I love everything about pens. I read blogs about pens. (Here's the best one out there, in my opinion: The Pen Addict.)
My assistants/friends gifted me some awesome Pilot Hi-Tec-C 0.4 pens for my birthday. It's like writing with a needle tip...so frickin' awesome. I carry all 5 different colored pens with me everywhere. You never know when you are going to need an awesome writing instrument to write something memorable (or not so) down. Heh.
I think it's a fascination that was inherited from my dad. He always had bags of pens or clusters of pens with rubber bands around them packed away in every little knook possible. I think his affliction were Sharpies. I wonder if he knows that they have a pen now?! Hmmm...Father's day perhaps?
However, what's even more awesome than my love of pens? The fact that my truest & bestest friend also shares this love. We can spend hours just "playing" with pens. We will search for stationery and pens on random jaunts while we are together. All for the love of ink.
