Amanda and I used to pass notes... All the time. When I knew her, we were both really into Shakespeare, and one of our note-writting tactics was to write like he would. For example, if I wrote: For the day gets dark when nightfall comes, If thy would like to follow thee, the west of the town I will be. To be or not to be? It could be translated to: Hey, at sundown, lets meet at the hill at the west end of the park, Yeah? And if Amanda wrote back: To be. It could be translated to: Totally. As far as passing the notes was concerned, I used to carry around a tupperware container to keep all my pencil shavings in, so I didn't have to get up to go to the bin. We just used to pass that to each other, with the note in it. That way, everyone thought we were just borrowing each others sharpeners! We made sure we didn't pass it too often though, otherwise people would get suspicious. Also, with the phone subject. Amanda asked me when we first met if I had a phone and I replied, "No, I don't need one. If I was that desperate to talk to someone while I was out, I would find a phone box. IM is also ruining the english language, and why would I want anything to do with that?" She looked at me for a while, before getting her phone out of her pocket and letting it drop to the floor. It broke, but she still trod on it to make sure it was really broken. "I totally agree with you. I will never use a phone again." I ended up getting a phone shortly ater she left town. I wish I could of had one that first day, then she never would have smashed her phone and I would have her number, so I could try to talk to her now....
