Leave it it you, to make me feel good about something weird like this. And yes, I agree with you about a good writing instrument. I like the micro point pens and can't stand using a medium point. I do love a smooth pen. Pencils, I'd rather be using one of the cartridge pencils with the leads you can buy and refill than a standard wooded pencil. I like them fine point to. As far as wooden pencils, if I must use them, I can't stand the ones with the fake wood and light colored lead. They are still listed as No. 2 pencils, but they couldn't possibly be. I like real wood pencils if I have to use the wooden ones.

This time though, I think it's the paper. Honestly, I love the pencil I have been using since I started this back to school thing 2 years ago. I have used it so much, I can't make out the name brand on it. It's worn off now. I buy the erasers for it buy the handful. They come 5 to a pack, but I get several packs at the beginning of each semester and use them. I'm a neat freak in my notebook only. My computer has files I have saved thrown in this folder and that folder in no organized manner. My room looks like gale force winds blew through here and I just left it like that. The car, forget it. It's a disaster area. I have pine straw where I park to try to keep the weeds from tripping me on the way to the car. This yard has no lawn. I had a couple of small patches of centipede grass, but the rest of the yard is full of weeds that my stepfather (a very straight laced guy) calls "triffads" like in that movie. All is a total state of chaos around me, yet my notebook stays so organized that it bothers me when the pencil is to the left of the pen in the little holder I put them in. I'm left handed but the pencil is easier to grab if I leave it closest to the right hand side. I'm weird about it. I can't get over it. I have a few things I'm neat about. The rest can be a total state of chaos and I'm happiest that way.
