BT+MT+LT Forever

I'm coloring a picture to send to my brother. He secretly loves it when i do random crap like this, i know it... The flamboyantly colored picture of a flamingo is currently hanging on the wall in his room, if that's any proof! But he's also 16... Ohhh how i miss lil Tivo. 

Anyway. Have you ever had something that always manages to make your day a little worse, without fail?  Like this group of girls who lives right in the middle of my hall here at Rider...  I dont know what it was that me or Mary did, but apparently we're a less tasteful word for a prostitute. This isnt anything new... it's been our label since the first month of school, pretty much.  God forbid Mary has a legitimate boyfriend, what a skank! (And i'm totally kidding, Mary!!)  It doesn't make any sense..but I'm not feeling any loss.  There was never any effort to be friendly (except friend requests on facebook..), and I don't necessarily feel the need to constantly travel in a pack.  No regrets. 

I already know next year's going to be better because......I'm rooming with MADELINE FREAKIN BT YOUNG! What. It's gonna be freakin sweeeeeeet! Dr McCandless wont know WHAT to do with us.. I'm so freakin pumped though.  I dont even know how me and Delin became friends...i just remember things like her and Abcde singing a song with my name in it, the fact that she was one of the girls who always screamed about tits, and one day she asked me (via text) to marry her. And that's how it allllll started! F'real, the girl's pretty much my best frieeeend now.  So yes, I'm more than excited for next fall. :) :)

This saturday, is the CLARINET SYMPOSIUM. What is a "symposium"? According to Urbandictionary...

1. A meeting or conference at which several speakers discuss a topic
2. A collection of opinions or articles on a given topic.
or my personal fav...
3. A deep discussion about politics, life, etc, when under the influence of alcohol.

A whole day of clarinets? Yes please. Plus, our quartet is playing during the Clarinet ensemble's part of it! We're way excited, even though we couldnt think of a name in time...mostly because "quartastic" did not go well with Dr M. :P  

I'm not sure what else to talk about...nothing life changing has happened to me recently!  Cedar Falls is Cedar Falls...it's my new home, but it's colder than a witches tit (thank you, delin). Still where i feel best. And that's what matters, right? Home is where the heart is and stuff...so yes. Home is in Cedar Falls, for now <3

Finally

Yesterday one of my friends came over to my room and was having a hard time figuring something out... Somehow the idea of "losing yourself" came up.  She meant it as in she didn't want her actions to eventually make her into someone completely different, but it's an interesting thing to think about.  I had kind of thought til this year that generally high school was where you figured out who you were, what you wanted to do with your life, etc. I think i knew from about sophomore year that I wanted to be a music teacher. Yes, my reason for choosing UNI may not have been the best reason...considering he dropped out after the first semester anyway! But whatever, I'm here now. And i pretty much knew I was coming here for a reason.  Which turned out to be pretty much the best choice of my life. :)

Back to whatever my main point was though.  I thought being here would only be like an extended camp or something.  I didn't cry over missing my family or my friends from home. I may or may not have missed my dog a little bit more than all of them...combined.  Whenever i did go back to Urbandale to visit, I would always find myself referring to Cedar Falls as "home". Which is strange...but strange in a good way.  I love it here. And i love the people here. I'm perfectly fine with not seeing anyone from Urbandale, aside from those in the music program or work-outs with Kayla.  I don't miss anything or anyone from home, which may be a bad thing.  And i don't mean to offend anyone either.  But my senior year of high school pretty much solidified my transition here...big thanks to the certain people who made it hell. Really. I've said this to some people already..but I'm done trying to figure them out.

A friendship is not something where you're watching your actions/words so you don't say or do something to randomly piss someone off.  And just because you're all of a sudden being friendly to me up here doesn't mean i trust you any more.  Friendship also isnt saying something to someone, like how you don't see yourself very close to your former best friend and then completely contradicting yourself later.  I'm definitely ranting now, but it's kind of something that's been in my head for a year or two by this point.

So now it's time to meet new people, and make new friends.  And I'm really excited about all of it, because its like making a new start.  College must be the place where you really figure yourself out.  And it definitely is worth all the crap high school put me through.  So yes, i love it here. And i wouldn't change anything about my life right now. :)

Of Men and Angels

Soo.... Hi :)

Well I've been wanting to blog for a few weeks now, thanks to Delin's influence.. It's just taken me this long to finally decide on a name for it. But it's here now.

Anyway, my name's Stacia Fortune, and i go by a few other names... To Dr Washut, Delin, Abbey, and a few others, it's Stash. Also Pistacio and Mustache! I'm a Music Ed major at UNI, I play clarinet, and i know for sure that i'm in the right place, going after the right thing. I love every minute of it.  Even when i have really terrible days, something or someone here completely makes up for it, and i love it!  I dont know what else to say about this place without sounding overly cheesy, so I'll stop now. :)

Things I love:
~Clarinet/Bass Clarinet
~My puppies (One of them is going to have puppies by spring break!!!!)
~Frodo
~Hawaii
~Delin+Pancakes
~The Clarinet Studio
~Drawing pictures for Dr McCandless (Dr McCandlessDrMcCandless..)
~Music
~Coloring!!
~My Parents
~Tivo
~Summer Dresses
~Rainbow colors
~Taking pictures
~New UNI friends <3
~WARM WEATHER
~Brushing my teeth
~Grapes and Chicken Nuggets!
~Meaningful conversations.. <3
And many other pointless things.. :)

Not so much?
~Conflict
~Carrots
~Sucky Reeds
~SNOW.

I got distracted... But you know what else i really love? Random Racquetball with Kayla! We cannot play at all...most of the time we end up standing there and talking about something. Then pretending the ball is someone's head. It's pretty great though, I'm glad we can hang out still. :)

Alright, so the title of this pointless intro blog is from The Rocket Summer... Best one person band i've ever heard. You should definitely check him out. If you dont like him though, dont hate. I think he's fantastic... Anyway, i'm done rambling! Maybe eventually i'll have something really intriguing to write about, maybe I wont. You'll have to wait and see.

<3
