Have you ever had one of those days, when everything is just bland and dull and boring, then someone or something does something and you break down in giggles and you can't stop?
It's a wonderful feeling, that unstoppable mirth, but it's also a bit dangerous, especially if you're in class, in high school, and the teacher is trying to start the class.
Jackson and I were taking the same art class at Bonanza High School and we usually had lunch just outside the classroom, since art was the class just after lunch. I can't remember how we came to talk about the Lord of the Rings, but it was probably one of those games we played to entertain ourselves. I also can't remember who came up with the idea, but suddenly both of us were drawing stick figures of all the characters in the movies, breaking down in giggles at random.
These giggles and the drawings didn't stop even when the bell rang and we took our seats in the classroom. Passing notes unseen is easy. Passing notes unseen while cackling like Peeves on a sugar high is nigh impossible. Somehow, we managed to let the notes go unnoticed, but the vein pulsing in our teacher's forehead was a good tell that someone, or two someones, were about to get thrown out.
I believe that we escaped the Walk of Shame to the dean's office, and got away with a stern telling, only because we were the best students in Ms Middledorf's class. Well, the most attentive, at least. Usually. When there were no Lord of the Rings stick figures posing on notebook paper involved.
Anyhow, I still have the drawings somewhere, most of them in Jackson's and my book of Game of Twisted Choices. I will post them here as soon as I find them.
