Obsessive about pens.


I've always been a penaholic. Just recently I was proselytizing friends about the wonders of my all-time favorite pen (of the mass-produced type) and am thrilled to have gotten at least one person hooked on them. Maybe she and I will create a demand, all the stores will carry them, and prices will plummet in the ever-vigilant war to nab our pen-purchasing dollars! (Dreaming here.) And they are available, but only at one local store, and one online. Anyhow, it's the details that matter, and this little .38 tipped beauty is a delight with which to write. Unfortunately it doesn't last long, despite its tiny tip, and refills are impossible to find and pricey as the original. The .5 and the .7 just don't cut it, if you ask me.

If my pen budget was no object, I'd be mass-ordering from the fantastic Jet Pens, in all their varied hues. Help, there's now a .28 size! How can I stand it?

I'm not the only one obsessive about these! Check out the ever-interesting moleskinerie.com for an article on converting the Uniball to an even tinier pen.
