This one. :)
I would use mechanical pencils, but I'm notoriously known for losing them.

I would use wooden pencils, but they make my fingertips swell up and get all nasty.
and those erasers they put on them are almost always useless :'(
Wooden pencils that instead of being shaped like a hexagon, are shaped like a triangle, for maximum comfort.

The Ticonderoga erasers were made by the gods. giggle;
But you're right; all other standard pencil erasers are crap.

That's what I use. I just couldn't remember how to spell the name.
If I really have to use a pencil, it'd be a 0.5mm mechanical. I hate wood pencils because of usually being dull, because of the way the pencil tip rubs against my hand when I write, because of the loose wooden shavings that tend to wind up everywhere, because of their almost-always horrible erasers, and the fact that they have to be sharpened with a sharpener which is actually decent.
Regardless of pencil type, the side of my left hand ends up covered in graphite after writing with them for some time. Pen ink doesn't stick to my skin nearly as easily.
hate them all, my scrawl is accustomed to the scratch of either a fine-point ballpoint or a fine fountain nib

I have those too n_u
.5mm for sure. God damn I can't describe how much I hate the wooden pencils they give you when you do retarded tests. If you make one mistake and erase the bubble, you can't tell which answer you filled in or erased. Q('_' Q)
I write really hard and always break the lead with mechanical pencils.
I carve my wooden pencils myself.
I like the .5 kind, it looks much better fine
Wooden pencil's erasers make me vomit, plus their lines are grainy and too thick. ;_;
.7 or .5 mechanical. Either one is fine.
Around here you use whatever you can find in one piece. The dog chews them up. doodhuh;
Mechanical .5mm thumbup;
.7mm, never used a .5 as far as I know.
I never use pencils but if I do then .5 mm mechanical.
what the dick kind of thread is this..?
mechanical, .5mm, the thinner the lead the better
.7mm sucks
I hate those mechanical pencils with lead that's extremely thick and sound like you're scratching a chalkboard and write all sloppy. myface;
also wooden pencils suck for various reasons
-shitty erasers
-constant sharpening
-extremely dull
I'll only use a pencil if I have to, otherwise I'll almost always use pen.

Back before I ran out crying and jim v banned me, etc, I would post poll of the days everyday.
As long as it's mechanical, I don't care about the diameter.
I usually use .7 mm mechanical pencils.
.5mm mechanical all the way :]

yessir.
.5 is okay too though.
4B for writing.
HB for sketching.
Musgrave Choo Choo for pencil fighting.
Also, beware of lols. (http://www.penciltalk.org/)
I hardly ever use pencils but when I do it's just the standard wooden ones...
