Social obligations are funny things, not necessarily funny enough to make a joke out of though. I used to ditch my social obligations to play video games, and it would make me feel bad. Now I'm ditching my video games for social obligations, and I feel bad. I have to ditch my friends to hang out with my friends and vice versa.
I've also noticed that writing is a very anti-social, personal thing. I'm sure writing COULD be done with other people in a group, but that would take all the fun out of it. Writing is about closing the door to the rest of the world (sometimes literally) and exploring the deep depths of your soul, sometimes with no lights save the glow of the computer monitor. You know, like ya do in junior high and high school? with your dark clothes and eye makeup? writing just to feel something besides emptyness? was that just me?
