Description
I doodle in my notes and textbooks.A lot.
I have super-duper-pooper senioritis, so now more than ever, sketching during lectures prevents me from doing what Loki's doing in the top left corner.
Most of the time.
Top row, left to right: Loki taking a nap, Erik looking like he's taking a nap standing up because evidently he's a horse, artsy poet-type guy reading, Loki again, Moliere/Captain Hook/Guy-With-Better-Hair-Than-Most-of-Us.
Second row, L to R: Loki AGAIN (what can I say? The guy's been on my brain lately), doodle of the painting on the front cover of my Christina Rossetti anthology, girl sitting in the same cafe as artsy poet-type guy stirring her tea, Christine, Keats-ish dude.
Third row, L to R: Elf lady/I wish my hair would do that, Doodle of the painting on the front cover of my Robert Browning anthology/angry uncle you dread seeing during the holidays, Christine, Descartes.
Fourth row, L to R: Medusa meets Christine?, Erik-ish dude you do not want to encounter while alone at night, Christine leaning on a table and laughing at the Erik-ish dude you do not want to encounter at night, Marot...esque....man. Thing. Guy.
Fifth row, L to R: Keats, yay!, girl in one of my classes who miraculously didn't catch me staring as I drew her, Keats...esque...man Thing Guy, Montaigne/creepy bald villain from "Ever After."

Amazingly wonderful doodles!
I once bought a text book (Le Premier Livre dated 1915) just because someone years ago had doodled in it. (I know, that doesn't sound right...)
Several doodles of flappers, a soldier kissing a woman, a bust of Venus. I could Imagine a bored girl sitting in class in the 1920's doodling in the margins, some of the doodles were unfinished, my guess is she quickly closed the book to avoid being caught by the teacher!
Just think, many, many years from now, someone may pick up your textbook to discover your doodles inside!

I discovered a funny trend in the local library of the city where my grammar school was: On the last pages of the children's and teen books the readers often left comments. Comments on how they liked the book, but also doodles or something lewd. I really don't know how this started and why it prospered so well in that library (I haven't encountered this phenomenon anywhere else yet), but ... though those youths did something forbidden, I couldn't help but like it. Reader-to-reader communication.

It was the right thing to do. I hope you will continue to buy old bedoodled texts.

~PLEASE PARDON THE GARRULOUSNESS OF THE FOLLOWING COMMENT
Oh, Muirin. How I love to see the epic junk that goes on in your brain. (I like the title, BTW.) The stuff you "doodle" on the mere margins of paper - your "junk" - is worth more than many a "renowned" artist's magnus opum.
...Whenever you say "Keats" I wax poetic. ...Aaaand apparently "overuse" quotation makes. (Maybe I'll just stick to *air quotes*)
*Ahem* As my favorites for this page consists of every single item on it (if I had to pick two, Chris-dusa and Erik-ish Dude), I shall instead list my favorite things in art you do:
-curly hair
-cheek bones
-distinguished noses
-distinguished lack of noses
-eyebrows
-sardonic expressions
...I'm gonna stop before I list "capes," and "masks," and "emaciated grimaces."
(Seriously, it feels like all I did was write out Erik's characteristics - apart from the curly hair, of course.)
Wonder how he'd feel waking up one morning, going to the bathroom, looking into the accursed mirror at his ugly self, and finding that sometime in the night his head had sprouted a wild, curly mane!!! (Omigoshyoushoulddrawthisplease.....0__0)

It's people like you that made me look forward to the new-to-me hand-me-down school textbooks each year. Seeing the history of notes and doodles, and always hoping for awesome art stuff!

You have such a gift for realistic/expressive faces. I love looking at them, they are all such individuals. Even though some of them look as bored as you must have been

It's joyous to see that I am not alone in defacing my textbooks and notes. I basic training soldiers manual was riddled with sketches by the end the training ;3
