I *love* pencils and my students would always laugh when I talked about the wonderfulness of pencils and paraphrased from the book 'The Pencil,' which they seemed to feel was a fine joke. I can therefore get behind this:

Also I always wrote with fountain pens in the 70s and 80s, and took all my university notes, for instance, by fountain pen. I wrote bazillions of letters, too, and since the ink was water-soluable and I lived in the moment it's all faded/washed away now. I didn't like ballpoints as they were too slippery.

I liked using sealing wax, too, but that isn't peculiar.
