The things one finds!

Once in a while, I'll get bored and decide to go around my room, cleaning out my closet or rifling through a box of papers. Today was such a day. And oh, the memory/treasures I found.

For example, this is a little poem Alex and I wrote for English week at school. The theme: Renaissance. Alex and I were Zorne and Thorne, "the great duo that cannot eat corn", as stated in the poem below.

There is also this: a petition we got people to sign so that our school's cafeteria would be more vegetarian friendly. And yes, it worked.

There's my original forensic speech, "See Thru Like Saran Wrap: Absurdities in the Life of a Leftover". All the drafts are there. I had a lot of fun with it.

Here's an accompanying practice ballot:

This here is from yet another English Festival. I was sitting in class one day when my English teacher, Mrs. S, walked in wearing sunglasses and, wordlessly handed me this.

She left, and I examined its contents later, at lunch.

This is a Time-Travel Machine, as designed by myself. As you can see, it runs on rubber duckies. Makes perfect sense. This was during my senior year, by the way.

The assignment, also for English, was to create a product and the commercial to go along with it and perform it in front of the classroom. (The asterisk says, "Purple Travel does not ensure the return of all limbs with travelers".)
