Operation Teen Book Drop

I know, double post! But it's quick, I promise. It's Operation Teen Book Drop Day—and I wanted to post my contribution here in case some of you don't do Twitter. For more info on TBD, see Kiersten's post or this website.

And you still have time to drop a book! Hurry!

Why yes, this happens to be my old high school. I figured it might be a good place to leave a book. (My art teacher made that knight out of papier maché. It went up my senior year.)

I left Mari Mancusi's Gamer Girl, which is an adorable YA contemporary about an anime drawing, online game playing, girl. What? You're shocked I loved it? Perhaps you don't know me very well.

  1. I think this is very interesting. I hadn't heard about it until...well, today. Also, the book looks like something I'd enjoy reading.

    I think I'm gonna go check it out now...

  3. Kristan, that's funny you say that. Most kids called it "The Golden Idol."

    I do think it's rather amazing, seeing as it's made out of PAPER AND PASTE.

  8. What a cool looking High School Natalie, thanks for sharing.

    My daughter would love that book! She calls herself an Otaku Okami, or something like that. Maybe I better go pick it up.

  9. Watch out! There is a huge guy with a sword RIGHT BEHIND YOU!

    That knight is awesome. Paper mache? :0

    That does look like a nice high school. Mine wasn't nearly so nice, although they've fixed it up a bit since I left. Figures. :)

  10. That sounds like the perfect book for you to leave behind. It sounds just like you.

  11. I never heard the knight called the "Golden Idol". Weird. That is funny though.

    I heard it referred to it as the "The Femmy Knight" (short for femine). or " The Femmy kah-nig-it" (hard "k" regular "g" sound, like in guts. Just a way to make fun of the word knight).

    I remeber the knight was up during my Senior year (Mostly because I have some photos with it in it, and because of a hilarious Knight-line News), so I am unsure how it went up your senior year. Did you graduate early with my class?

  12. It had to have been your junior year, because it was my senior year.

  13. Okay, okay, apparently some of you have a better memory of high school that I do:P
