Yeah but it is probably a good thing the stuff they shot me full of just before my surgery is not easily available.:D

Dilaudid. Yes. It is. I used to have a prescription for pills, back when the pain was worst. Strong stuff.  :O

Zebra fine ballpoint in black for work or mechanical pencil at home. 

Currently use Moleskine unlined thin notebooks for casual note taking.  Use a bound lined book for journaling when I remember.

When I have to use non-electronic stuff, I usually have to grab two or three broken pencils and two dead pens before resorting to a crayon or dull sharpie marker, scramble to find some kind of paper, never do, usually tear the corner off an envelope flap, or steal a corner of an already used post-it note, chicken-scratch the note, pocket it, and lose it almost immediately.

Me and paper don't get along.

How can you not get along?  Sounds like you've barely met.

Zebra F-402 in black fine point, or a black Sharpie Ultra Fine marker.

Record keeping and project notations are done in quad ruled composition books.  Day to day scratch notes are made on top bound spiral note pads.

Pen-I chew through pencils too quickly.   :O

Oh, we have a long and ugly history.  This is how it ended up.
