Ode to a Papermate Pencil

My pencil is aptly named. A Papermate, #2 pencil, made of wood and painted a bright, stop-sign red. Granted, it's not the prettiest thing (I'm very picky with the reds I adorn myself with), but it works well as a mate to paper. The wood sharpens nicely, and I would know because I make sure this is done each morning, before a long day of note-taking. The eraser works well, too. I bought this pencil (or rather, this type) in preparation for school because it works well, so I suppose it says that I am a person more concerned with substance and function than forms or appearances.
