Hare krishna.

Last weekend = one of the best weekends in a while.

I went home for the Festival of Colors which automatically makes it a solid weekend. Standing in the middle of hundreds of people covered in chalk and sweat, getting crushed by crowd surfers, not being able to breathe, dancing to hippie music, chanting Hare Krishna, and coughing up chalk dust for days afterward has never been more fun.

Before...


This would be the "not being able to breathe" part.


Add to that: visiting City Creek mall, eating cheesecake, practically losing my vision after getting something in my eye while driving, playing Uno, riding Trax, seeing my best friend's wedding dress, catching up, playing Draw Something, and of course watching Indiana Jones, and you have the recipe for a perfect weekend.

Also, if you're looking for an update on the prank war, here it is. This happened a few weeks ago but I forgot to mention it.


These would be all the calls I received when this ad went up on KSL:


Yep, that is my car. And this is the conversation that I had with Ogden, UT at 11:43 am.
  • Me: "Hello?"
  • Ogden: "What's wrong with your car?"
  • Me: "Umm... nothing? I don't know?"
  • Him: "Then why is it on here for $500?"
  • Me: "What?"
  • Him: "Is there something wrong with it? Why are you selling it for so cheap?"
  • Me: "I think you have the wrong number..."
  • Him: "Is your number xxx-xxxx?"
  • Me: "Yes..."
  • Him: "Your car is for sale on KSL."
  • Me: "Oh..."
  • Him: "You might want to take it off before you get any more calls."
Watch your back, Ty.

Self realization.

Things I have learned about myself since Spring Break started yesterday:
  1. I should never wear headphones in public. I have already caught myself singing out loud while walking through the gym, and screaming at my dog that he is being an idiot while a ton of people passed by me at Draper Park. I only realized the latter after some lady tapped my shoulder to ask me for directions. Embarrassing.
  2. If I was caught in the zombie apocalypse, I would die. I have this new app on my phone called "Zombies, Run!" that simulates zombies chasing you while you work out! It's very effective in getting me to exercise. But thanks to my dog being dumb when I took him running today, I got killed by the zombies. Thus the reason for yelling at him at the park.
  3. I have an unhealthy addiction to both Cadbury eggs and Chinese food. That's not really new, though.
  4. I can't go to Urban Outfitters and not buy things. It is a serious issue. But, on the bright side, my boring Saturday nights in the future are about to get a lot less boring now that I have a book entitled "Truth or Dare: The Party Game".
  5. I am so glad to be done with high school. Seeing a million kids at PF Chang's on their way to prom definitely did not make me miss awkward dates, school lunches, drama, high school boys, or staying home on those nights when I didn't get asked to dances. Not that my prom was awkward; it was perfect. I'm just saying, I'm content that it's all in the past.
Anyway, between this blog post and my recent Facebook statuses about Star Trek and eating expired macaroni, I am making myself look super cool. Please date me.

The latest.

It's been a few days, but honestly, I don't really have much to say.

Highlights of the last couple weeks include:
  • Skiing at Brian Head. The creep on the right is Tyler...
  • Allred and J.Wride concerts.
  • Taking lots of pictures for my photography class. Landscapes were last week's assignment, which are not my favorite, but I did end up with a couple that I liked. Portraits are up and coming.

  • Playing guitar in my ward's talent show and the latest open mic night. Maybe I'll make a YouTube video or something.
  • And that's pretty much it. Not the most exciting time.
In other news, I feel like my blog is just a play by play of my life and it gets boring. So I'm going to try to change that. I don't have anything cool to talk about today though, so I'm already off to a bad start.

Also, I want to publicly apologize to anyone I may have offended in the past week! I don't know if I did, I just know it wasn't the best week for me. Sometimes school, drama, rumors, stress, and lack of sleep all hit you in the face at once. I already am not one to have a lot of girl friends, or get along well with girls, for who knows what reason. It's something I am always working on. So, if I have seemed insolent, I'm sorry! Don't take it personally.

Anyway, I'll talk to you all again when I come up with something interesting. Have a good week! Only five days until Spring Break!
