If you asked me when it was that I last went through a Bic pen, I wouldn't be able to tell you. Sometimes after my teen years, I stopped writing altogether, I let others, mostly Rek, fill in papers for me, I've always hated my hand writing, I was slow at it and eventually I just didn't bother to try anymore.
About two years ago, I picked it up again and made a point of writing stuff down everyday, I got better and now I even like how I shape some of the letters. A minute ago, I was startled to see that I've nearly gone through one of the pack of 10 black Bic pens I bought, I think it might just about be the first time in my life.
