another fun discovery.

So I was cleaning out my desk drawer (I know, *gasp*, right?), and I found THESE!!!



Yeah, so these are pencils the school gave us in...what...third grade? fourth? fifth?

I remember we got them for several years in succession, and I always looked forward to receiving them, nerd that I was. I loved the pencils, with the indentation of my name in gold lettering, and I loved the red plastic sleeve they came in.

The "cool" thing to do was to trade pencils with your BFF's. And here you can see how that turned out for me. Apparently my only friends were my sisters, those unfortunate souls required by law to love me.
