Some pens live in your heart, some pens live in your desk. Thankfully, this one lives somewhere
in between. Those two little hearts have seen a lot.
I really think this might have been the first pen that I really craved writing with back in the day. (Those days were filled with sk8ting, BMX, Ska and general adolescence.) However, I still took my pens very seriously, even if I didn't know what I was writing, I still wanted to enjoy the process and the idea of writing.
(Yes, I actually polished this for the pictures.) I know that times change and some pen styles move on. My tastes in pens have definitely changed (and there's very little Ska music in my iTouch) but I still like to appreciate whatever I am writing with. I can't say I use this pen often, or its in the rotation, but it's good to remember where your roots are and where your habits come from.
This pen is sort of like having a 1974 Volkwagon Superbeetle in the garage. It's cool, fun to take out, but in general, it just sits there. Have a great weekend and I will get to the comments and emails before Monday. Cheers.

Yep, I got a lot of miles out of PaperMates back in the day. I remember it was my mother's pen of choice. We've still got a few hidden away in drawers around the house. They're the Timex watch of pens.
Love these pens, the Papermate Profile. My second pen love after the Papermate Contour, which I fell in love with after seeing the gorgeous blue ink it produced, in my adolescence. I have since been through many - they seem to have a weak spot at the top of the clip after lots of usage. I still have a couple and carry them fairly regularly. They do have some of the best, darkest ballpoint ink around.

I have the same pen with a Black barrel,,,had it since the 70's. I even have one where the chrome is worn off the top half,,think I had that one since the late 60's. Great pens,,,wish I could still find them, my last one is starting to have difficulty to retract and misses 1 out of 4 :-((
