What do you write with your pens? (self.fountainpens)

So we all love pens for the pieces of art they are, but they're also tools. So, what do you write with your pens? Do you journal, do you take notes? Do you use fountain pens for everything or just certain activities?

Personally, I write a lot of snail mail letters to friends, and I also use mine to take notes. I've never done a journal before, but I'm thinking it may be useful in helping me unpack some things. Plus, Midori makes some very nice looking 3 and 5 year journals.

For me it's mostly to-do lists and brief reminder notes if in a work meeting (if I need to properly minute I use a computer, though). At home I do a reasonable amount of fiction writing an analysis of what I'm reading in various notebooks.

I've considered starting to write letters at various points, but honestly I don't think I'd be very good at it.
