I am all for people making mistakes. It's how we grow. For example, I botch things up all the time; it's why I use a pencil. This way, if I screw up, I can use the eraser to hide my blemishes and nobody is the wiser! Pens are a bit arrogant, kind of like saying, "Ooh look at me, I am writing without a net. Good day sir. I said good day!" Please! I don't need that kind uppity jibba jabba! An erasable pen reminds me of a low end BMW in that I don't know who you're trying to impress, but TRY HARDER! When I write with my pencil, I am saying to the world, "Hey, I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm just going to sketch this out real quick..." Also, there is a wide selection of decorative erasers. Personally, I prefer a Yogi Bear themed eraser. I like bears; bears are funny.
My biggest gripe with my pencil is sharpening it. Every time I try to sharpen a pencil, there's a piece on one side that is still wood. Why is that? I've done it with a small, hand-sized one, no good. I've used those hand cranking, Model T wannabe sharpeners, no good. Finally, I've tried electric sharpeners, feels great, but no good. I've determined, using the scientific method, that all pencils are defective. Yup, that sounds about right. So next on my wish list are pencils that sharpen uniformly to a conical, graphite point. No wood allowed. No hippies either!
That's all I got to say about that!
