I am blessed with the gift of doodling. I can totally keep myself entertained with a pen and paper. I can keep myself from committing suicide by cell phone because of this simple pleasure.

Today I was in EVOC class, it's like a painfully long driver safety class. The instructor was mighty long winded. He would read off one point in the slide, talk about it for thirty seconds and then proceed to tell some "war" [fire department] story that may or may not have anything to do with the original point for the next 4-9 minutes. It was so painful. I was so bored that I tried to figure out how I could off myself right then and there; the only tool I had on me was a cell phone. Electrocution by sticking my tongue in the battery? Choking by stuffing it down my own throat? Impalement? Fortunately or unfortunately I could not figure out a way to seal the deal. 

Luckily I entertained myself with doodling. Above is a compilation of some of them. It started with a little fire engine by a thought I needed to remember and ended with me writing notes to the teacher (OH MY GOSH!!! - under which is written stop talking!, but I crossed it out incase the teacher walked by) and then notes to myself in cursive. 

Drew this when we were doing something boring at work. 

Went to throw it away and Rob insisted I not trash the piece of art. 

It ended up on our fridge at work.
