zero point five. ever since i discovered mechanical pencils, i've broken off with #2. i like my writing fine and crisp, and when #2's tips became dull, i'd need to sharpen it all the time. and darn if there's no decent pencil sharpener around! i especially remember that time on the flight to san francisco, my sharpener was confiscated by airport security. yeah, right, like i would terrorize the whole plane with the blade of a lowly pencil sharpener.
but! with my zero point five, i just need to click and there it is, fine pencil writing.
Love your description. Recently, Mike bought me an old school pencil sharpener from a garage sale and it was one of the best gifts ever. Dull pencils are the bane of my existence. Ok, well they bug me a bunch. It's not you it's me, ok, it's you. that kills me!!!!
I have to hide my pencil. Jeff seems to walk off with them and forgets where they land. But when I write- it's either with pen (I'm a scribbler) or on the computer.
