Oooh! While cleaning under my small dresser, I found a cobalt blue fountain pen, and a marbled blue-ink rollerball! *bounce*

I don't think I've mentioned that my major "object" perseveration, from way back in school, has always been interesting-looking pens. *chuckle* I used to just take pens apart and see if I could combine parts from different types, but that eventually shifted to a special love for "decorative" pens in general. Promotional pens in weird colors and shapes are among my favorite.

I'm not sure whether this is because I never quite had enough pens as a teenager (I was afraid to ask my parents for more, so I'd *make* them out of spare parts) or because my father tended to bring nifty pens back from his business trips. They make some *seriously* weird pens for the chemical conferences, and they're great fun to dissect, stim with, or otherwise perseverate upon. Prescription drug pens are also often quite nifty, and most often come with sylized rubber grips, fancy-shaped caps, multiple bright colors, and so forth. *grin*
