Regarding color pencils

I won't be putting it in my pencilcase, they'll sit in their packet until i need to use them, but i'm not sure how often i will use them. Decisions, decisions.

But it does look quite nice, the light colors like blues, yellows and oranges, especially because you can't see the shoddy lines everywhere when i use them to shade and whatnot. And i hate the "sharpenings" method. It's the one where you get the pencil, shave off only the color bits and them rub them around with your fingers. Personally, it's weird an ineffective, plus it has the additional downside of being incredibly boring and doesn't look like you're getting anywhere until you compare it with uncolored (relatively white) paper.

But really, it just means one more thing to think about getting the next time i go to the shops (which, isn't too often, but perhaps i shall tommorow; i need black card and a textbook thingummy and...maybe i'll find the color pencils then).

Just because:
Favorite Food/s: Marshmallows, Fluffy Doughnuts, Vanilla Ice Cream
Favorite Color/s: In terms of dress sense (ha, ha.) Black, but that's mainly because all the loose-ish clothing i have is black, and really, Black isn't that bad of a color.
Favorite Composer: Tomohito Nishiura/ZUN. I really can't decide.
Biggest Fear: Now, i'm not opposed to manipulating someone, but i draw the line at killing someone. Mainly because it means i can't talk to them anymore.

Hoping I can decide between Faber-Castell and Derwent. (Haven't really tried Derwent, but my pride won't allow for cheap color pencils. Like, the ones that you have to sharpen 10 times before they're of SOME use.

Color pencils aren't too bad, it's just hard to rub off.
