penning sounds more like a drug

which is why, next time i'm stuck in an awkward social situation, forced to explain the scribbles, the bits of paper, the constant blogging, i'll say, "i've been penning a lot recently, wasting my nights...it's terribly addictive. i wouldn't try it if i were you. i mean, it's good and all but could cost you your job and your relationship if you're like, honest, and develop the habit." no excuses, i'm unreachable, penning tonight.
