If I feel like tearing holes in a piece of paper, I use a fountain pen.

To write something, I prefer ballpoints.

;)

I prefer gel pens that give a nice gooshy flow of ink.

I used special fountain pens in life drawing all through school.

I like mechanical pencil when writng kanjis(chinese characters).

Contrary to what Jamie feels, I can't use gel pens smoothly.At some angle between the axis of the pen and the surface of the paper,the ink just won't flow smoothly. The same thing happens everytime I use fountain pens.

It's the way I hold the pen I guess.

Yeah, holding the pen with your toes won't get the job done, Nina... it's best to use your fingers.

hehe
