Paint Knight!

It's all fun and games until you get hit in the eye.

OK, before you look at the title and start thinking, "Wow this girl already used the wrong form of night in her title," I have done this on purpose. I attend Neumann University, and our mascot is a Knight. So, all the events Neumann offers, I always try to make it "punny" (A pun that's funny.)

Anyways, over this past weekend, a few of my friends and I went to a "paint glow rage dance party" and it was awesome. It was sponsored by Neumann, but these two guys who have the company came up to hang out with us (play music and paint us) all the way from Pensacola Flordia!

At first, my friends and I walked in the building it was being held, and we saw a huge long black tarp covering the floor, and towards the front a huge DJ table, speakers, two guys, and lots of paint buckets. So we immediately started in with dancing that was already there.

It took them a little bit to actually start painting us, I guess they were waiting for people to get there. But when they started, they started hard. Within seconds people were already covered in paint head to toe. Here's the few from our party from the back angle.

It was so cool. The paint party was beyond awesome. They also had water guns, but substituted the water for some paint, and that's how they squirted all of us. Some students even got a whole bucket of paint on dumped on their heads! I have no idea how they handled that! Needless to say, it's the almost the third week of school, and I'm having the best semester ever.

Here are some things i've learned from a paint knight:

-If they play a good song you have to sing too, put your hand over your mouth, unless you want to eat paint.

-Still haven't found out if paint is edible, although it doesn't taste good!

-If you have to spit because you got nasty paint in your mouth, don't spit on the floor.

-If it gets in your eyes, it will burn, and don't wipe it with your shirt, because chances are your shirts already soaked.

-An emphasis, if you get it in your eyes, it's going to burn! It's the worst burn pain ever, worse than an eyelash in your eye!

-It takes a couple seconds to regain vision in your eyeballs.

-If you wear glasses, and you are blind without them, chances are your either going to get them ruined, or not be able to see the whole night, your decision.

-Don't try to "busta move." The floor is extremely slippery, you will fall and everybody will look at you.

-Don't wear jewelry-- Although, the paint is washable, I still have it in my rings, and some on my earrings.

-You're going to have to shampoo 3,4,5, or even 6 times.

-In the shower, you will turn the water going down the drain pink.

-Ladies, your hair will be equivalent to a mop. Whether you leave it up or down.

-If you try to squeegee out your hair, it will be nasty.

-When you go to wash your clothes from that night, wash them separately!

-Paint smells really bad when you leave the area, I guess you don't notice it when you're there.

Here are some picture of my friends and before and after the night!


Here is a couple during the paint!


Paint knight was awesome. I had a great time, and I can't wait to see what other event are in store for the squad.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
