It's just a fact of life that gloves are awesome. xD

I tend to doodle when I get bored so if I don't have paper, I end up looking through my wallet for old receipts to doodle on or I end up drawing on my hand, so that's why I've learned to carry paper (usually just some scraps). And bah, practicality never did anything for you, so why bow down to it? xD
