What color Ink?

I prefer blue for most things, no big deal if it's black. I like the sharpie fine tip markers in all different colors for scrapbooking.

I like black. Blue is too varied, it doesn't seem dark enough to me and I just like something easier to see. Though to be honest at home I will take any pen I can - although I have a horde of supplies upstairs in the bureau for school/office supplies, once it hits my desk it goes MIA. I've tried keeping pen cups on the kids art shelf, and beside DH for his SUDOKO games but I still am constantly on the prowl for my pens. I imagine the lost pens and the stray socks are having some kind of hide and go seek game and sitting somewhere watching us all run around looking for them with glee.

I have to write in blue ink. I'm probably a weirdo but I feel like I don't write as well when I write in black ink.

Funny story. My son was keeping record of his drive time while he had his learners permit. He used black ink. We had to make an appointment in a town that was 2.5 hours away from out town because of budget cuts & no drive testing at our local DMV. So, we make the journey 2.5 hours away, at a 3:30 pm appointment (that's the time they gave us). We arrive 5 mins early. We had to wait until 3:30 exactly. He hands in his paper work & the DMV agent threw a huge fit about black ink. She wanted it in blue! Now, no where on the website, paperwork, nothing indicates that blue ink was the only color to use. She made us fill out sheets of driving logs in blue ink! It took me, my husband & my son 15 mins to do so. So, at 3:50 pm we are done & they said they stop the drive testing at 3:45 pm! I was livid! I explained to her how far we had come. She said we had bad attitudes & refused to give the drive test. So, 2.5 hours later, & then 3 months of waiting, he finally got his drive test in a city that was closer & had a cancelled appointment. I asked the DMV where he took the drivers test about the black ink, & they said they could care less what color just as long as it shows up when scanned to a computer! So, from now on, I use blue ink, just in case.

I used to prefer blue ink but I've grown accustomed to black ink as that's what we are required to use for patient charts at work.  I tend to buy black ink pens for home use, too.  

Black pen only for forms, official documents, and signing my name. Blue is fine for anything else.

Not only do I prefer blue - but I prefer a fine point as well. Don't like those thick lines. And I hate it when pens that have caps don't have the caps on them. It makes them too light to hold. Need that balance of weight the cap provides on the other end. yeah. I'm weird.
