beautiful ink

i recently came to the conclusion that i write better... things with a pen and paper instead of a keyboard. maybe it's the concept of writing longhand, just scribbling away in a piece of paper, crossing out a passage here and just plain letting the pen work on autopilot that inspires me.



or maybe i was inspired by edge and his book. oh, here i go again - let me stop myself before i start with that.



when i came back last june, i wrote test essays and other written assignments differently than i did before, which carried on to all those yearbook write-ups i wrote (and because of that style i won praise from my classmates during the retreat) until the advent of the bittersweet undertaking that was the lcle.



since we weren't required to give much actual thought in answering all those damn worksheets, my skills deteriorated as the second term passed by, until i realized that i can't write anymore like how i wanted to write before, when i was making them write-ups.



so, let me pick up a pen and let me find a good-looking piece of paper, and i'm about to set forth on confessing a little madness in my life.
