Today was officially my first Secret Agent drop! See attached photos to see the gift.

Long ago, a friend bought me these pens that can be used as bookmarks. They come in a CD case. Each pen has a quote on it about love — love between lovers, between friends, love in general! I never ended up using more than one of them, and most of the time they stayed in the case because, as a writer, I just have way too many pens. They were basically in brand-new condition, and I thought they’d be a great first gift to drop. So I attached a note which you can see in the picture — I mentioned how much I love to write and that maybe that person did too! I also placed a bow on the case so that it would feel like opening a present.

Then, this morning (Aug. 25) at 9am, I dropped the gift at the Forbes/Morewood bus stop right at the edge of CMU’s campus (where I work and go to Graduate school). I figured there it had an equal chance of getting picked up by a student or a non-student. I took a few photos of the location, trying to be covert, but it’s hard! A few people driving on Morewood/Forbes looked over, but I pretended to be waiting for the bus, set the gift down on the bus bench, took a quick photo, and hit the road! I didn’t get to see anyone pick it up since no one was at the stop or walked over to the stop while in my line of view, but I’m sure someone has by now!

Being a secret agent is fun! Especially when it means making someone else’s day.
