They've discontinued my very favorite pencil. http://www.abcstuff.com/items/OP026.html
The internet is unclear on whether or not the manufacturer is still making the successor product (which is black and therefore NOT THE SAME).
I only have two and one ran out of lead. I cannot write with any other writing utensil, no other pen or pencil, not charcoal or paint or my nails if I'm wearing the right nail polish.
I was just in bed writing when one of them ran out of lead and I came here to see if the company still made them; turns out, it doesn't, but it does seem to still make a similar product. I have never written with a better pencil, it's the smoothest, most comfortable writing implement I've ever used, and the eraser is heavenly, so soft and perfect. I have the funniest feeling in my stomach right now, a heaviness that's a lot like when someone dies. If I run out of lead in the second pencil- which I will- I won't be able to write anymore. The lead is kind of hard to replace, since it's very long (unlike normal mechanical pencil lead) and I don't know what I'm going to do. I definitely feel a kinship with the writer at this year's Oscars who didn't quite speak English, but blurted out a thank you to his faithful pencil. I know what he means. My two pencils are amazing and magical and without them my words wouldn't come out very well, if at all, and... I've run out of things to say.
(P.S. that was the CUTEST ACCEPTANCE SPEECH EVER, WHAT A SENSE OF HUMOR HE HAS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K4Y8b1tHIE OMG I LOVE HIM)
(P.P.S. I'm still in writer-mode, can you tell?)
