It May Be Just A Pen To You But It’s A Pal To Me
Yes, I’ve been fickle before, but this time it’s different. She says, eyeing that new one over there.
Last week I was writing in my journal with my Pilot G2 07 and right in the middle of a delicious rant the ink ran out. No warning, it just quit. So I grabbed what I thought was another one, but it turned out to be something else. Something wonderful. Something I’d been waiting my entire life to find.
And it was right under my nose.
It’s a PaperMate Gel 0.7. My dream pen! For now! And I found I can buy two of them at Dollar Tree for the low, low price of one dollar. Fifty cents each! (Not that you couldn’t figure that out for yourselves.) I’m going to buy dozens of them in case they stop making them and I’m left high and dry with those inferior imposters.
Here’s what I love about it: It fits my hand perfectly. It has a little rubber thingy to protect the first knuckle of my middle finger. It’s lightweight. So yes, it’s like so many other pens out there. But here comes the best part:
The roller ball rolls that ink out with so smooth a flow it’s as if it can predict what I’m about to write and it’s way ahead of me. Going there. Doing the job.
