Or making notes of observations for him to use for a story he would write later on or spontaneously start a poem. Some thought Blake was boring, but others found him very kind – he was always there to listen to anyone's problems. Many girls were impressed with his artistic skills and considered him rather cute with his messy, black hair and warm, dark brown eyes, but Blake was far too shy to ask any of them out.
