…It captivates me. I don’t understand why, but I really like this layout – but only because of the pen….I like pens….pens are nice… Even thought it’s basically a dead art, there’s just something so attractive about handwriting stories. Not that I handwrite everything – no way. I’ve long past the point where my typing speed surpasses that of my handwriting speed. And neither speed keeps up with my brain! So I’m sitting there thinking about the first sentence, and I start writing the first sentence. By the time i get half way through the first sentence, my brain is ending the second sentence so I write the end of the second sentence for the end of the first sentence and my brain stops suddenly and goes: “Wait….What?!” So then I have to sit there and try to remember what i was thinking for the first sentence and – Gah! It’s so annoying….so it’s usually at that point that a pull out my Labbie (laptop) and say screw it to the pen and paper.
So as you see, Pen&Paper and I have a love/hate relationship.
But yet! There’s a pen! Looking at me from the upper right hand corner,
It screams out (silently, of course): “Pick Up One of My Brothers! – Write!! – And like it!!!”
Lq (laugh quietly) – I had a Caramel Frappacino from Starbucks this morning.
I am very….”happy”

Hopped up on Coffee, eh? Tsk, tsk.
I likes the layout, it’s simple and elegant. The pen is calling to me now….but I hate my handwritting so much that I resist it. *grin*

LoL – hey, dude. Remember how you use to draw?….Power Puff girls on drugs? You draws a hundred times better now. So maybe if you just work it a bit, you can write like victorian style and what not.
Then again, why bother? Who really “writes” anything anymore?
