When I was in high school I took much pride in being the queen of creating various codes, symbols, alphabets, and other cryptic language systems for the single purpose of confiding crushes (and exchanging all crush-related information). For instance, I created a "Crush Dictionary" for classifying crush types, which I posted here
Rock Collections were my pièce de résistance.
How Rock Collections worked:

Step Two: Find a rock that you associate with your crush in any way and put it somewhere safe
For example:
More examples:
After your rock collection has been established, share it with your friends in confidence. The rock collection can then be used for frivolous "would-you-rather" style sleepover games by shaking & pulling rocks from a bag.
Take note: the later you stay up, the more insane the questions become
Photographic proof this really existed:
