Just curious as to what type of pen do most people use? Personally I feel the type of pen I'm using makes a huge difference on how or what I write. But then again it might just be me.

I switch between ballpoint medium and mechanical pencil. You should make a distinction between those pens that have really liquidy ink but not a fountain pen and the ones where the ink doesn't run and smear as much.

I don't know what that type of pen is called. If you can find out out I'll add it.

Zebra F301 - Fine point. I write small, so anything thicker makes my writing nearly indecipherable.

ballpoint, fine.

I got a fountain pen as a Christmas gift from a cousin a couple years ago, and I break it out on occasion, but I prefer ye ol' standard ballpoint pen.

edit: I also have one of those feather/quill pens, but that's just a downright pain in theass. heh.

Depends on what I'm doing.

I use a rollerball pen at work, unless the paper is really cheap and I have to use a ballpoint to avoid ink bleeding.

For my personal correspondance I use a fountain pen and parchment.

I only like retractables because I habitually click them during class when I'm bored.
