I'm absurd, but I am constantly on the hunt for pens with a good flow that don't smudge the second you accidentally rub your hand against what you just wrote. I love the uni-ball pens, but unfortunately my handwriting is completely illegible with these :/ It's a mental thing - I feel like my hand is an extension of my mind and I can't tell you how many times I write code on paper before typing it up. It just helps me organize.
