So I'm sitting here in the campus Student Service Building typing away on my laptop and rocking out on my iPod with Dragonforce's guitar riffs. As I sit here a kid walks up to me so I pull out my iPod earbuds and without saying a word to me the kid hands me a piece of white paper, folded in half, turns and walks away.

I'm obviously slightly confused by this, so I open the sheet of paper and all it says is "(Sonnet here)" with an arrow pointing downwards. I'm curious but not overly so, I set the paper aside and resume working on my paper. But it bugs me, I don't get it. So I pick the paper up again to look for any writing I may have missed. Nope, still short and confusing.

A few minutes pass and my cell phone buzzes. It's my sister Jessica.

"Hey sis."

"Hey Bro, you're next to / near / somewhere around my friend Duncan."

"Huh?"

"My friend recognized you."

"Oh!" And it was at this point that it clicked. This was one of my sister's weird friends.

She went on to explain that her friend thinks I look like Shakespeare with my pic on Facebook. So he dropped me this note and then texted my sister telling her that he gave me a note demanding that I write a sonnet or else he was going to kill her. Now that I understand what happened I have to give the kid props for creativity...

But it's still a little weird. Funny though. My sister and I had a good laugh as we pieced the puzzle together.
