You Know It's Bad When The Medic Is Called

*Flashback*

"SECURITY?!?" "WE NEED SECURITY!" the clowns scream at the top of their lungs. "Okay, you two just wait in the corner until security gets here," one of the nicer clowns tell my friend and I. I wait there in agony, waiting and waiting and waiting. When security finally arrives he glances at me and immediately said into his walkie talkie, "We need the medic in the clown maze ASAP."

(In case you haven't realized it yet, I was at a haunted house)

You're probably wondering Why in the world would Morgan need a medic at a haunted house? Yes, I'm a very clumsy person but this time, I didn't trip and fall. No, a zombie did not hit me in the back of a head with a fire extinguisher. And obviously my legs did not get chopped of by the creepy chain saw guy. It's called an elbow to the face.

The Elbow To The Face Experience

It all happened in slow motion (mainly because there was a strobe light doing its thing). I saw the zombie lady reach out trying to grab us, but we ran, we ran as if she was going to be the death of us. I watched as Brendan tripped at the exit but caught himself by the frame of the door. That's when the contact with his elbow and my face happened. More precisely, his elbow and my nose. No one else realized what happened, but I knew instantly what would happen next.

My nose began to throb when we were trying to find our way out of the creepy clown maze. That's when I felt the bloody nose coming on. Once we were around the next corner I already had a warm red pool of blood swishing around in my hands. That's when my friend finally got the attention of a clown. The clown looks at me, touches my face and calmly said, "Your beautiful face has blood all over it." All I did was nod. That was when the clowns started calling for security and told my friend Lane and I to wait in the corner.

While we patiently waited for security to show up, about five of the clowns surrounded us in the corner. Now that is the definition of terrifying. It was a strange sensation. Imagine: five of the creepiest human beings you've ever seen times 10 but them acting so incredibly nice and genuine. They were all asking me what happened but my favorite clown was the one who had the puppet who kept saying, "George is coming to help you!"

Finally security (George) arrived and shortly after the medic (Spencer) came to my rescue. The whole situation after this was one of the most awkward things I've ever experienced. It was some random old guy blinding me with his flashlight while attempting to remove all the blood from my face and hands. And then he tried to stick a piece of gauze (let me note NOT a tissue) up my nose.

While Spencer was still attempting to wipe all the blood of my face, many people found us in the corner. The clowns were like our body guards just scaring them back into the maze. Some had really funny reactions to seeing so much blood. But my favorite reaction was when a boy not that much older than me screamed, "HOLY SH*T THAT GIRL HAS A LOT OF BLOOD..." But then he got cuts off because he was screaming while running away from the clowns.

Thank you clowns.

Epilogue 

We ended up making it through the rest of the Haunted House safely except Spencer wasn't able to get all the blood of me with the disinfecting wipes. My friend Lane, who was with me the whole time, somehow managed to get my blood in her hair. When we finished the haunted house the rest of our friends exploded when they saw us. They literally thought we died because we just disappeared and they had no idea what happened to us. Although I got a bloody nose and was in a few really awkward situations, I had tons of fun!

Blue Armpits

If you were offered the opportunity to be covered in chalk from head to toe, would you do it? I took the risk of being covered entirely in chalk and not knowing how long this chalk would stay stuck to me. 

This colorful experience is known as The Color Run. The Color Run is a 5K (3.10686 miles to be exact) run through color magically falling from the sky! Just kidding the color doesn't actually fall from the sky but that would be AWESOME!!! 

The Seven Easy Steps To Becoming As Colorful As Possible

Step 1: Find as much white clothing as possible so the color will be more noticeable. 

Step 2: Run through the color

Step 3: Roll in the color

Step 4: Repeat step 2 & 3 at each color station

Step 5: Cross the finish line

Step 6: Join the after party

(This is where most the color comes from)

By the end of the after partying, all the colors have
blended together to make an icky brown color

Step 7: Get the color "blown" off of you

Step 7 doesn't actually get all the color off of you, the rest you're going to have to scrub and scrub and scrub off yourself. And not even all of it will come off! (I discovered this the hard way) I walked around for days with bright blue armpits, orange elbows, and streaks of color in my hair! I even went to school with all this color on me! But in the end, blue armpits and all, being covered in color head to toe was 100% worth it!

Celebrate life even when you have blue armpits!
