Some people cannot work unless they're comfortable with their tools. I 
know the feeling - my weak spot is pens. If it doesn't feel right in my 
hand, or if the ink doesn't transfer to the paper, I can't write. I have 
miserable memories of essays where I had to borrow a pen, and couldn't 
get into any kind of zone.

The thin blue-bodied ballpoints they sell in bulk are the worst for me.

(BTW, if anyone needs a good, reasonably priced pen, I'm using the 
Pelikan Technixx rollerball quite a bit.)
