I am ashamed that I even typed that, and I would like to apologize, but I think I'll leave it anyway. The heat is making me loopy, so hopefully that gives me a bit of an excuse.
To get to the point, I've noticed this year that my doodle output level has greatly increased, and some of them are very interesting, so I've decided to post some of the highlights here.
This is Horatio the Splendiferous. He's a talking turtle I created in precalc while the teacher spent like 15 minutes trying to communicate a concept to a student who needed it put into different terms. Little did I know that he was going to collect our work from that day, so Mr. Jacob, who didn't know me very well yet, probably wondered what on earth was going through my head.
Here we have a thunderstorm (complete with sound effects brought to you by onomatopoeia, which I think I spelled wrong). It happened during a sermon one Sunday when I was distracted by the fact we were supposed to be getting a storm that week.
This is an m&m, as you can probably tell. It has some nice shading, but I wouldn't count it as a highlight of my doodles except for the fact that it led to my next one, which is one of my favorites (you can see a smidgen of it to the far right on this picture)...
The Death Star! I was drawing the m&m during math class (most of my lovely drawings have been born in that class so far, and nearly all my masterpieces too) while my friend Mike looked over my shoulder and tried to guess what I was drawing. He thought it was a moon at first, so he told me I should draw the death star next. The girl on the other side of me didn't know what it was, so I decided I'd try it. It actually turned out pretty well, to my surprise. I think it's my best so far, but Horatio and the Annelida Lumbricus 3K (coming up next) remain the most popular among my colleagues.
And here it is, the Annelida Lumbricus 3000, also known as the invertible. We were talking about invertible functions in precalc, and the word invertible automatically makes me think of an invertebrate as a convertible. So I drew it. The text around it is a little hard to read, but it says "It's a convertible... It's an invertebrate... It's an INVERTIBLE! I call it the... Annelida Lumbricus 3K" Annelida Lumbricus is the Latin name for the family that earth worms come from.
This is yet another masterpiece from math. The part in pen it the unit circle with all degree and radian values for the specified points plus the coordinate pair for each on a cartesian coordinate system.
Here's the poodle I mentioned earlier. Not all that exciting, but I figured that if I used it as part of my little rhyming thing at the beginning, it might as well get a place of honor. I really don't like poodles all that much.
Here's some of the less exciting pieces of art.

You are quite prolific. Also, as the Invertible especially proves, you are far from being a normal person. Congratulations! I mean this in the most complimentary way possible.
Here are several thoughts in disarray:
I am glad that Horatio the Splendiferous tells me that he is a turtle. In this way I know that he is not a tortoise.
Onomatopoeia is, in fact, spelled precisely like that.
Now that you have met the unit circle, it will never go away unless you renounce mathematics. It is sort of a white-washed tomb in this way, at least when it is covered in art, that is, unless you are friends with it.
A world without poodles I do not think would be much different than a world with poodles. Thus we can live without them. They are very much like the idle rich in this way.
Also, The Mighty Cheerio is more exciting than one might think, assuming that I am not one.
Yeah the Invertible simultaneously makes everyone who has seen it laugh, look at me like I've completely lost it, and this is normally followed by a verbal affirmation that they think I'm going insane.
I actually kind of like the unit circle. It follows a predictable pattern, so I find it very easy to comprehend. Which gives me more time to doodle, therefore I like the unit circle. Plus it's the closest thing to geometry (my most favorite kind of math) that I'll be getting for a while.
There are three types of people: geometrically minded people, algebraically minded people, and imbeciles. Geometrically minded people are greater than algebraically minded people. (g>a, where "g" represents the worth of geometrically minded people and "a" represents the worth of algebraically minded people.) I know this because I am a geometrically minded person. Imbeciles (represented by the variable "i") do not factor into the inequality, as their worth, being imaginary, is equal to the square root of negative one.
Hey be nice to the imbeciles! They can provide amusement if nothing else.
