The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

I may or may not have a problem. For as long as I remember I have had a strange affinity to pens. I'm talking writing utensils. If I could go back to school shopping for the rest of my life just so I can buy new pens, I would totally be all over that. The gel pen craze of the 90s?  I was worse than any kid collecting Pogs, Pokemon, or Magic the Gathering. (yes, that is my nerd knowledge showing) 

I keep a case with close to 100 pens in it. That's not counting the 40 or so in and around my work desk, the 20 or so in my scrapbooking containers, or the new pack of 24 I just got in the mail. But they're all for different things, and each write differently. Some women collect purses, I collect pens.
I love to express myself in written form. In doing this I feel like it should get to look fun as well. If not, then where's the fun in that?

So what's the one thing you have to resist buying tons of, yet still manage to have a substantial collection of?
