writing instrument choice

For some reason, I cannot be content with a pen for very long. I fall in love with one and think it will last me a lifetime--until I find another one I just happen to like better. Take, for instance, the pens in the above picture, from left to right:

• The red (a favorite color!) gel pen was great--until I didn't like its thick line.
• The thinner red uniball pen seemed to be a better option--until I didn't like it bleeding through the pages.
• The brown gel pen was fabulous for our wedding, and I still like to use it for various crafts. But it is too wide and "wet."
• The TUL pen was something my friend Crystal introduced to me. I have loved it for the last two years, but recently, I don't think the ink line is substantial enough for some writing purposes.
• The BYU Romney Institute pen on the far right is a current winner--but only on the big yellow notepad I use for making notes while preparing class lessons. I do NOT like using it to write on anything else.

Now, I may be picky about my pens (and a bit capricious), but I have always loved the wooden pencil. I used a mechanical pencil in high school for math problems, but I simply LOVE the feel and unique writing results of the wooden pencil.
