Clowning for Peace

Ciao Amici! (Hello friends)

In the hallways at school today, you may find yourself face to face with a rather peculiar looking creature. No worries - this is just Pazza. I know, I know, she looks rather scary when you first see her, but in all reality she is completely harmless. In fact, all she really wants to do is spread peace and give you a break from studying. 

You won't be able to understand a word she says, as she will be speaking in Grammelot (Gibberish, really). Feel free to play along, if you so choose. Pazza is going to be accepting of you...so you should be accepting of her.  :)

Pazza will be handing out little slips of paper that say "Peace in Your Heart". They also have a link to this blog. (Some of you may be reading this because you've received Pazza's note!) Really, all this means is that you should follow the directions; breathe a little deeper, pump your heart with a little peace, and if you feel so inspired, pass it on by showing the note to your friend so that they, too, breathe deeper and stress less.

Want to play? Find Pazza and clown around!

UPDATE

I had a nice coffee date with Pazza after her "peace mission". She wanted me to say "Thank You!" to everyone who played along and took time away from studying to have fun and hang out with her. Honorable mentions to: the people with the djembe, the people at the student help desk, the little girl she played tag with in the hallway, the man who fed her chips in the food court, the man with the snowboard, the woman she danced with in student services (the same woman who told her she looked like Dobby the House Elf ...quite the compliment!!), the art raffle students, the girl and guy studying for sociology and criminal justice exams, and the man who let her dance in his cowboy hat. She had a wonderful time and hopes you did too!

Here are some pictures of Pazza's antics taken by the lovely Chad Bay:
