Someone had closed down their blog and its remnants led to a bunch of blank pages with a single link. After going through a few iterations, one of pages reported how the person was trying to create a page that wasn’t IE exclusive. I finally got to the new and revamped page and it was a 3D environment that visitors could interact with. The main form of interaction was posting pictures on the walls. What caught my attention was things that were posted on the glass were also visible on the other side.

We came into my room when someone asked if the open page of the notebook in the open drawer was this week’s physics assignment.

“Yeah, what about it?” However when I looked more closely, I realized that the page seemed unfamiliar. “Wait, what’s going on, this isn’t my handwriting” I added.

I picked up the notebook and it seemed evident that the person next to me had accidentally used a spread of pages in my notebook. I flipped further on and came across a drawing of some kind of logo.

“I even put the signatures in the wrong notebook?” He seemed rather worried, but I was just irritated that the consistency of my notebook had been ruined.

It turned out that the extra pages were just clipped together with the notebook on a clipboard. The last loose page was an old drawing of mine. It was a portrait of some kind of monster with a flat face and sunken eyes done with pencil.

“Wow, that’s really cool!” He picked up the drawing from me and started to tell me how I should have shaded this drawing from years ago. He smeared his fingers over it to rub the graphite as a way to proving his point. “This jaw is like an ex-mosquito!” he exclaimed. I had already lost interest.

At some point, a paper mache bust of the same subject matter came out. “I don’t even remember where that used to be” I commented. I went to another drawer to take out some scraps of work that was related to the incomplete bust. It included Ziploc bags of Lego and what seemed to be the beginning of shoulder pads.
