I like using mechanical pencils because they are light.

I LOVE mechanical pencils. I actually write very, very tiny and ink smears/runs. Plus they always keep their point.

At the moment the ones I'm using are all Bic disposables I got for $1 a pack when Staples had a special "loss leader" this summer. They had a limit of 2 per type per customer. So I'd buy 2 of each [5/7mm], put them in my backpack, walk 3 or so blocks to the next Staples, buy my quota, walk to the next one, and so on.

I got about 30 packs.
