Now I'm disappointed. Any time I use a good heavy well-made pen, I just think how well I could stab something with it. That's why they don't let me have pens anymore.

See, handwriting isn't my strongest suit. When I was a kid, they didn't pay attention, so I developed a caveman fist holding technique thats too engrained to change. Hence, the keyboard. Now, I can type like an SOB. With the fountain pen, see, I dunno, I can appreciate any nice fat heavy pen. However, unlike Bartley, after a few moments I don't really think about stabbing things (too small and blunt, couldn't do a quick stab and get away), but I do start thinking about the aerodynamic properties of a nice heavy pen with regard to being hurled at the stupid. Something else thats been a related problem, all of the pens at Casa Tumor have been disappearing. Seriously. Gone. Not sure whats (kids) up with that. Well, I did write with it.
