Happy? Ecstatic? Thrilled? Perfect? Overjoyed?

Alexithymia (ah-lek-sah-THI-mee-ah) —
inability to describe emotions in a verbal manner

from the Ancient Greek words λέξις and θύμος —literally "without words for emotions"

So this is actually a psychological condition, but I feel that it definitely applies to my life right now. I'm home! Back from college! I love BYU, but I have missed home so much!

Work it, girls. Get fierce.

Utah's obnxiously beautiful weather demanded that we go outside in cute outfits and take pictures. Here is a sampling, a smattering, if you will, of our excessive attractiveness.

Honestly? Yes, I think we're model quality. Vogue? Probably. Runway? I just need to tailor my walk a bit. Catalog? I would never stoop to such a level. So why don't I go for it? Well, I don't think modelling is right for me. I don't really like the superficiality of the model industry anyways.

Hollywood is a different story.

Words.

Lethologica (lee-tho-LO-gi-ca) —

the inability to remember the right word; a psychological disorder that inhibits an individual's ability to articulate thoughts by temporarily forgetting key words, phrases, or names in conversation

Letho- from the Ancient Greek, Lethes, a river of Hades that effaced memories, and logica from the Greek word for word, logikos.



In daily conversation, I often suffer from Lethologica. I think this is why, for the most part, I prefer to write.

I do.

ONE RING TO WED THEM ALL.

Shanti means peace

That's what they told us at the Festival of Colors, a Hindu festival that celebrates the coming of spring. The festival itself, however, was anything but peaceful. It was basically a huge mob of people at a Hindu temple throwing colored chalk everywhere. The combination of people was just weird: Mormons, Hindus, potheads, hippies... They had it all! But it was so fun anyways!

This is before the colors were thrown. I didn't actually take this picture, but it's a really good one of the temple.

It was pretty easy to find the hippies.

Oh boys. Sometimes they try so hard...

I didn't take this picture either, but this is when everyone threw the colors at once. The air was so hazy that it blocked out the sky! It was hard to breathe or even see because of all the chalk smoke.

Yes... I bought a shirt with a British flag on it to wear to an Indian festival. But hey! It was only $3! What a good deal. And I don't think half the people there were even intelligent (or sober) enough to understand the connection anyways.

On the long walk back to the cars. Having such dirty skin made our teeth look really white!

We had so much fun!

Even on the long, slow trip home.

It's too late to apologize

Despite my British heritage, I still have an immense appreciation for this brilliant remake of Apologize.

Abed

There is this show called Community. This show has a character named Abed. And he is pretty much hilarious. Here are some clips of how hilarious he is. Basically, if he was real, we would be best friends.

Rebecca Mary Cutler

Eighteen years ago last Saturday, a wonderful, miraculous, amazing thing happened. Rebecca Mary Cutler entered into this world. Since then, we have encountered many ups and downs. We argued, giggled, competed, and encouraged each other. We have come up with so many inside jokes and, even though I'm across the country from her right now, we still have the same special bond over the phone. She is an amazing person and I am so proud to call her my sister! So here is a special tribute to you, Beckster.

"Have fun with it!"

"My friend! ... Is over there."

"Hewwo. This is my fwend the wed wobster."

(British accent) "My name's Peter, and I like jam!"

"Look! The thing! It fell!"

"And then they made me their chief."

"HE WAS THEIR FRIEND!!!!"

Why did the monkey fall out of the tree? Because he was dead!

"Sisters, sisters. There were never such devoted sisters."

"Mayonnaise!" Also, eating the whole apple. Literally, the entire thing.

"Are you stuck in a box?" "I'm stuck in a box." "And you can't get out?" "I can't get out!" "Then you need Stink Away! The all-natural, no hazard aerosol spray! Just spray it on, and in seconds you'll be gone!"

(British accent) "What's marking?" "It's when you make fun of somebody!"

"Cause we are sisters! We stand together. We make up one big family but we are not the same. Our spots are different, different colors. We make each other stronger, that ain't ever gonna change."

Rebecca: You are awesome.

Anyone else who is reading this: Don't worry. You probably won't understand what most of this meant, and that's okay.
