Festival of Colors!

so i should be writing a paper, but i have a chronic, crippling illness called procrastination, so instead i will share my awesome Holi experience.

so i went with my friends Alison, Sammi, and Miles. We got in the car, and because of traffic we got to belt out some music and dance our hearts out in the car for quite awhile. we had planned on making it to the 4:00 throwing, but the traffic forbade us and instead we made it to the 6:00. which didn't really make any difference at all, except for the fact it was a little bit colder. so this place is crazy, and EVERYONE and their neighbor was there, so we had to walk really far from our parking spot. we even saw these people walking and when we asked them how far they had walked they said "a couple of miles". we laughed and thought they didn't really know their distances to well...actually they did. so as we were walking from our car, we weren't even a quarter of the way there yet, and some guy walks by, has a whole fistful of purple chalk and throws it right in my face.

my "before" picture


then someone speckled me with yellow, so they said i looked like an avatar, so here is my avatar face :]


this Hindu temple is gorgeous! its huge and has some amazing architecture. so we went and bought some chalk and just walked around throwing it on people and enjoying the atmosphere of the whole place.

i had to get yellow, of course.

this picture was taken right as Sammi threw chalk at us. of course im overreacting like always.

all of us, aren't we cute?! :]

i was kinda obsessed with this elephant and HAD to get a picture in front of it.

the finished look





all in all it was an amazing day! and minus a few hiccups (miles getting his finger slammed in a door, and Sammi loosing her key) everything was perfect. i love colors, and I'm super excited spring is here (even though it still doesn't quite feel like it yet here in Utah), so it was an awesome way to celebrate. i cant wait for next year!

also, me and Alison washed our chalky clothes, and now they are no longer white, but a pinkish purple. its awesome.

Jonni, your first sentence is the first step... admitting you have a problem! But seriously, I love reading your blog! I can almost hear you saying the whole thing in my head, and it makes it very funny and exciting :) Keep up the awesomeness!
