Scribble away!

I think I have this disease where in class I just HAVE to scribble anything while the lecture goes on. It all started in the 3rd grade when I developed an interest in drawing, and started to draw all these balloons all over the class table, My name along with decorations on the back of my chair to mark my territory, and Developed later on in the 4th, and 5th grade to me drawing kites along with the balloons, and then I added people who held those kits and balloons. Of course the people I drew were just the usual circle headed ones and a few lines to hold that head up (just like the hangman dude).

In the 6th and 7th grade I developed this brilliant method of drawing on the tables using the white 'corrector' which we use to correct our written mistakes in the notebooks. And so I started drawing all the oh so cool signs like 'peace' and the 69 black and white Chinese sign! And continued with that all the way till the 9th grade where I switched those signs with my cartoons.

In the 11th grade I remember the headmistress, who was visiting the class room to check us out and basically the condition of the room, just suddenly stopping at my table which was just filled with all these cartoon characters (and they were colored too.. lol ) and she said: " you know what nabhan , we wont even bother to clean this up and we'll just add it to our arts exhibition which will be held at the end of the year". That comment really made my day cause it showed me that she actually thought it was too good to yell at me for ruining a school property.

Anyways.. The reason why I am writing all this is cause today during my lecture, I found myself again just grabbing a pen, and Drawing something while everyone else was seriously listening and concentrating. Not that I wasn’t listening either , but they weren’t doing anything else besides listening , while I found it really difficult to 'not' do anything , So I wondered If I was the only one who really does this.

In conclusion, even if it is considered an illness, I would be glad to be diagnosed with it because I feel that it makes me a unique or at least rare.

Here is what I drew today :
