I like pencils for drawing, obviously, and also for virtually everything else. I prefer pen for when I'm taking notes, though, because I never have to worry about the lead breaking and I don't have to be all perfectionist and I can just cross out things when I make a mistake. (I can never do that with pencil for some reason. XD I'm strange.)

I'd say pens. Although, I really don't have a preference. o_o; Pens are just... easier. And they usually don't snap in half while they're in my backpack like all my pencils tend to do. x_x I like to take notes in color... and I can't really do that with pencil. And the lead gets all over my hands sometimes... but I guess ink works the same way.

I prefer pencils if I need to erase. And it I want what I write to look neat. For some reason, when I write in pencil my handwriting gets neater. O_o

I can't STAND writing in pen. My eigth grade teacher made everyone write in pen. It was ROUGH. Pencil is erasable and gives you a much more satisfying feel. The only problem is that about 75% of pencils are very lame. I can only really draw if I have a pencil with good lead that sharpens well.

I really wish mankind could master the concept of the colored pencil. You can barely sharpen those things, and they smear with regular pencil, and you can't erase them. If only I had better things to color with. :\

Hm...I'm one of those "use whatever I can find" people...but I use pencil more often than not, because I don't have/don't know of any pens around here. Except for my micron pen, but that's for drawing, not writing. I did buy a pen for writing from the store, but the stupid thing never worked (even after I had just opened the package)...blah.

I love my .5 mm mechanical pencil. I use it for everything.

Pencils for me~
For drawing...and for any other random stuff Mari does, I find it more useful than pens. And, I can't live without any erasers, so if I need to write with pens, I buy those pens that have erasers on them! X3

I like pens better. You can't erase, but I like how they write better. And they require no sharpening. =D
