Pen of Choice?
As long as we're asking about choices...
Fountain? Ball point? Felt tip? Roller ball? Gel Ink? What? I used to carry a fountain pen...Mont Blanc. Got tired of the fussing & fiddling, plus, to be honest, it really didn't write all that well. My carry pen these days? A fisher space pen...the bullet. As long as my jeans have a pocket, I'm set to write. Of course, under the new austerity plan, we will all be required to carry the basic BIC...

Felt tip Flair (Papermate), black, blue, red and green. Some 1/4" grid paper and a bottle of white-out and I'm set for the evening.

Rolling Writer by Pentel - as fat a ball you can get. Those pin thin things are like writing with a needle and the felt-tip tend to dry out too fast.

I got a great deal on it, but yeah, the pens are still cheaper.

One that is not out of ink, dried up, and sitting in my pen jug for 10 years. It just has to write.

For 3 years of college I have used the clicky-top Bic pens that I get for free at the bookstore when I buy my books.

I write by hand as little as possible. If careers were based on penmanship, I'd be a REALLY amazing doctor.

Cross pen is my favorite writing tool, but it never leaves my coffee table at home. I'd lose it immediately if I carried it around. It's beautiful, feels great in hand and is built to last hundreds of years.
For the center console of my car or truck, any cheap pen that works is OK.
