I used to admire people who wrote a fine fountain pen hand, and I went through a ton of them in school and as an undergrad, graduating to cartridge pens when those came out, but I press down very hard and always managed to get ink on me, so ballpoints since then. I've noticed gels are available in fun colors, but they also tend to leak on me, or not to write, or to not be waterproof, so I only use them for fun.
