I like writing with a pen. Why? Well, I like living life on the edge.
I would never write with pencils.
I like a decent fountain pen and to be honest, I prefer cheap ones that will adapt quite quickly to my writing posture - I spent a quid on a fountain pen from my local supermarket and the nib wore down very quickly and now writes like a dream (expensive pens with "quality" nibs won't do this).
Also - the ink must be black and I had real trouble finding decent stuff with a good flow.
I'm fussy, it has to be right or forget about it.

Well I usually prefer a mechanical pencil with 0.5mm graphite. There are times, however where I enjoy writing with a nice pen. Preferably in dark green ink, I'm tired of blue and black.
If i'm tossing together a shopping list or a post-it, i prefer a pen to a pencil. More permanent. Who cares if you screw up either, people with perfect handwriting are freaks in my opinion.
As for writing, i used to use the old computer tower I'm using now and write at a desk, but thats been relegated to surfing the web aimlessly and playing games.
My writing tool now is a Asus EEEPc notebook. Small and light enough to take basically anywhere you can take a small satchel. I like to take it with me when i drive, coz you never know when inspiration will hit, and the satchel can also fit my plot-book, dictionary and thesaurus, and notepad for random ideas for when i cant fire the notebook up immediately.
...Plus snack room. Gotta keep those neurons firing!
