How My Banner Came to Be – Part 2

Not a Penis!

This was back from my first year at Algonquin in the TV program. One day one of the guys in my class, who I always thought was a pretty funny and cool guy, showed up with a drawing and note for EVERYONE in our class. There were some clear messages of inside jokes, and others, like mine, were just something he was just writing for the sake of writing. This was the picture he drew. The message on it went something like this: “This is something that my friend made for me last Christmas. I drew it because it was on my desk and I needed something to draw. It’s not a penis. For Heather Love Casey.” I guess I included this in my banner because even though it wasn’t really anything personal to me, it still reminds me of some of the good times that I had in that class and I guess more specifically the crazy things this guy did, like shaved the left side of his face leaving the right side full beard and moustache, or writing an 11 minute song about the ‘girl in the green jacket.’
