So I'm back. Mostly because I don't know whether to go to bed or go to the computer labs, so I thought I'd compromise and hang out on the lines, and now my computer's thinking about stuff so I thought I'd hand out here for a bit.
I re-discovered Biro recently. They are amazing pens, I love the way the just flow so smoothly over paper. Although they do tend to make my handwriting pretty illegible, which is one of the many reasons I don't tend to used them when doing work. This is the other reason:

It's a long story.
I tend to get pretty distracted while holding a biro.
To be fair, my A.I lecturer goes really slowly, and it was a double.
Seriously though, they are the nicest pens for shading, because they don't just draw in block colour.
Actually biro ink is pretty weird. It's really thick and sticky, and is a right pain if it get's spilt, but it works because it never absorbs into the page.
Also it smells a bit weird, but I've encountered weirder smelling inks before. Like the black ink in my fountain pen I used to use. It smelt really nostalgic and sort of like, cinder-y?
However after smelling some biro drawing, I realise that black biro smell similar to this. Maybe this is just the smell of ink, or at least black ink.
Or maybe Terezi was right, and colours do all have tastes and smells, maybe this is the smell of black? Probably not though.
If you want to know more about ball point pens, you can look it up. I recommend Wikipedia.

Aren't they just magical?


Looks like my computer has finished thinking, and decided that it can't play any steam related things after all.
I shall now proceed to go to bed (even though I like, totally already slept and stuff) because I still have crazy amounts of group project to do.
