I use a great writing program called Scrivener! Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s free, but for me it’s worth it. :) 

This is an excerpt of a journal entry I wrote for English 2 a couple years back. Like…wow a long time ago. Jesus time flies by fast. “I think its obvious by now that the fact that Michelle is female has nothing to do with thoughts or actions. The thing that defines masculinity and femininity is society, not what you were born as or even your sexual orientation. If in 2020 society found admiring flowers masculine, then i’d be considered masculine because I admire flowers. Likewise, if enjoying fistfights was considered feminine, Michelle would be considered feminine. The needs and wants of society literally makes the world go round and determine its very future. The power of expectation is what runs businesses, which in this day and age is the key to how most of us live. Ironically enough, the same power can lead to the deaths of others. Society’s power of expectation can just as easily lead to ruin rather than prosperous times. If me and Michelle told all our friends that the people in the back of the cafeteria brought knives to school everyday and there still hadn’t been a threatening incident, imagine if the majority of the school expected knives to be okay. Now imagine if they used the people in the back of the cafeteria, along with lots  of other knife-carrying students as support that knives weren’t dangerous in the hands of students. If they won’t he case, knives were allowed in school and murder happened, there’d be a civil war in the school’s society. It would be pro-knife vs anti-knife. They generally peaceful school society before, would be gone because of the expectation of the school society to allow knives. Expectation, expectation, its all about expectation.” I find this interesting because this entry actually shows that I thought about  the social constructs of gender back then! Ha!

There is a competitor, Zen Magnets. Although regular Zen magnets seem to cost about as much as Buckyballs, Zen Magnets also makes Neoballs, which cost as little as $25, and they're doing a promotion on purchases of two or more sets. They claim to be in "Beta," though, and I'm not sure what that means in this context.Both Buckyballs and Zen Magnets also offer smaller sets. Overall it seems that these magnets may just be expensive to make.
