When I tell people that I love pens, sometimes someone will say, "Yeah, I love pens too!!" Then they see the pen drawer and they look at me like I'm just a touch on the looney side...which is probably...you know...true.

What's up with Pens?
See, I have this somewhat mild obsession with pens. It's actually gotten better in the past few years, but those of you that have worked with me know all too well about my pen drawer. I think it really started in the 1st grade (sad, I know), but the girl that sat next to me, her name was Allison. She had the clear Bic pens see....and I had the ones with the white barrel. I thought for sure the ones with the clear barrels were superior, so I just HAD to have one. Isn't that just sad? That's how it all started. Ever since then, I've been on a quest to find the perfect pen. I'll let you know if I ever find it (unlikely). I don't generally buy the expensive ones, but I love the fall when the pen companies (Pilot is usually my fav) come out with their new designs for the school year.

Pretty sure the pen-loving thing is genetic -- although I'll admit you have it a little worse than me. For instance, I had no idea that pen companies came out with a new line every fall!
But yeah, when I was a kid, I thought the clear-barrel pens were superior to the white ones too. The one I really lusted after was the one with four colors in a single pen though -- that was the ultimate!
I'm just wondering how you had a pen in 1st grade. I had to wait until 4th grade when we mastered cursive. Lucky dog.
