When I was in 6th - 9th grade I was Mr.Bean. Everyday some weird situation would cause my pens to break. Most of the time it was me chewing on them in class. If there is such a thing as ink poisoning I probably have it. There I was walking around with ink stains on my front pockets. See nerds were smarter, they had pocket protectors for good reasons. Me, I never thought about them, instead I inked all over the place. It always happened during class too. I would stick pens in my front pocket after chewing on them and then during break I would put my hands in my pockets and I would get ink all over them. One time I think I started eating my pen and got ink all over my mouth. Now that's embarrassing, especially when no one tells you. They needed to make non-corrosive chewable pens for people who get bored or better yet flavored pens for chewers. Pens were always a fun thing because they came in different shapes and colors. Blue or black pens were common, but I remember those fancy multi-colored ink pens. Then there were the pens that had erasers. It musta been a special ink or something. In the end all my jeans had blue or black stains where the pockets were. Eventually I learned towards my later high school years; the pens I did chew I would put in my backpack instead of my pockets. Except this time they would explode in my backpack and whenever I put my hands in it I would still get ink on my hands. I guess I always wanted to put something in my mouth. I think it was all one big conspiracy. You ever notice how on the Bic pens there is a little hole in them. I think it is for the pressurization of the ink. Whenever the end of the pens gets opened the ink is depressurized and then flows out the other end. I think the designed so that high school kids will have to get new pens, or maybe its just me.

Thought of the Day
"Again with the sweatpants?"
"What? I'm comfortable."
"You know the message you're sending out to the world with these sweatpants? You're telling the world, 'I give up. I can't compete in normal society. I'm miserable, so I might as well be comfortable.'"
