Pencils (But of What Kind?)

I recently searched local store for pencils after I lost my last mechanical pencil to the unkown. For starters, I'm a mechanical pencil person, and I have not used a wooden pencil for writing (I use it for art) since elementary school. At the store, my eyes were immediately drawn to a colorful pack of what looked like regular wooden pencils. However, upon close inspection I saw that they were, in reality, mechanical pencils. Delighted, I brought them in a colorful pack of 28.
