What are you using your moleskine notebook for?
My moleskine is my go anywhere do anything notebook. I use the squared notebook - large
I use it to draw out engineering sketches, write my weekly budget, set reminders for myself and take random notes. Anyone other than me that looks at it thinks it is the book of a mad scientist, with measurements, sketches and notes scribbled in an order only I can translate. I can however go back two or three moleskines and see exactly what I was thinking on a particular day which is perfect.

I use it at work, to take notes in meetings. Much nicer than the cheesy gilt-edged lab notebooks so many of my colleagues use - everyone always marvels at the elastic band closure.
I use mine when I'm in a pinch and need to jot down a note or two. I'm horribly forgetful, so it's nice to have something handy to write on at any moment's notice.

This is the best all-around pen in my arsenal. It looks like it's on the smaller side, but it is just long enough (for my hands - average sized) to rest comfortably on the webbing of my had between the thumb and index finger while i write. As an added benefit, the ink flows quite smoothly and has a finer point than your standard bic.
stuff you might see in my moleskine:
-calendar
-random writings/drawings
-half-assed calculations
-todo lists
-engineering diagrams

I use a Moleskine Pocket Squared Notebook. I like architectural design and when i see something that gives me a good idea i make a quick sketch of my idea or of a possible floorplan that will remind me of my idea later on. It is full of so many great designs. I also date every sketch.
I have two moleskines, but at the moment I only use one. It's a thick sketchbook version. No lines, very thick pages for drawing (including painting I think).
I don't use it for much expect jotting notes though. Random happenings, and other things in my life.
In the back section I store my bus tickets though. Those will be my legacy to my children one day. I'll say "We used to ride buses back in my day!" and I'll have the tickets to show them.
