There are 2 kinds of people in the world...

Those who keep and use their own writing utensils, and those who participate in the Grand and Glorious Pencil Circulation System.

Unfortunately, there aren't enough of the latter in this department! People actually expect me to give their writing utensils back, and I have had to buy a new set of pencils for myself (the library isn't really convenient enough to stop in for no reason, though maybe I'll check this Thursday). What an indignity!
