Midnight Truffle

Day 15 - A picture of something you want to do before you die.

The first thing that popped into my head when i read this.

For some reason, I really want to skydive.  I can barely jump off a diving board onto a blob (GENEVA), so I have no idea how i'll work up to this.... and i'm sure my mother is having a heart attack right now.  But maybe someday.

So...Two weeks before summer. I'm not sure if anyone could be more excited than me... I am SO freakin ready to get out of here! And not just because there was a freak snow storm up here this past week...wtf Iowa. I'm tired of this schedule I'm in. I rarely have convenient times to practice, which sometimes leads to me not practicing, leading to my face hurting next time i do, etc... But I just need something new to do. New places to go, and time to actually relax. Without having anyone to hang out with, anywhere to be, and anything to have prepared by a certain time.

Don't get me wrong. I'll be practicing my butt off this summer, because I am absolutely desperate to get into Wind Symphony.  Lord knows I'm going to have enough time... Kristen is leaving for the ENTIRE summer, so no Star Trek parties :( I hate to say it, but there's really not that many people I hang out with at home anymore. Not to mention everyone will be doing job things, and planning for college, etc. Summer will be interesting. And probably will be from here on out, for many reasons.


I'm home! I came home this weekend because:
A) I love Easter!!!!!
B) I need a break from school, and everything with it
C) My body hates me.


So here I am, watching Prince of Persia with mi madre, watching a cardinal keep flying back to the bird feeder outside the living room window, and blogging about nothing. And recovering from getting my 4 months-and-going wisdom tooth problem taken care of. I love laughing gas...so so much.  I wondered today, in my laughing gas induced state...What would happen if we shot bombs of laughing gas all over the world? I would get a huge kick out of that. :D


It's been a while since I last wrote anything... Not much has happened. Finals are coming closer and closer, everyone is getting more stressed, practice rooms are filled at every moment, and students of Dr Washut are crying more frequently. 
Ok, maybe that's just me. 
I also had a birthday! I am now the hugely unimportant age of 19. WOOOO. I got a PILLOW PET and Sims3 from my parents, among various other things that I hugely appreciate (such as a large cake...bloohgohggo). Hearing "Happy birthday!" so many times throughout the day (as well as seeing it on facebook) was entertaining. And it made me very, very happy. It made me realize how blessed I am to know so many amazing people, and for getting to know all the new and fantastically talented people up in Cedar Falls. I can't wait to spend the next few years with all of them. :)


Enough verbal ADHD. I have no central focus to this point, i just wanted to get a lot of stuff out. Time to go make a new Sims family :)

Best. Mood. EVER.

Day 14: A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without

A dog counts as "Someone" right? In my world it does.

This is Lucy. I love her, and I know she loves me.  She shows me what unconditional love is. 

If you think that's stupid, you probably dont own a dog.

Fun Fact: There are certain personalities I can't handle for more than a few hours a day.

Even more fun: The time limit gets shorter as I get more irritated.

I've met very few people that I can handle being around for extended periods of time..I realize that most of that is probably my fault, but I'm pretty sure other people are like this too. I don't do pity parties, or talking about a single topic (or person) day after day, gossip makes me feel like a terrible person, and constant cussing is kind of overkill. 

I dont really like the idea of someone being sad because of something i did, or mad because i said something, so the fact that i get tired of being around people sometimes is not really known. (until now, if you're reading this.)

So, I'm sorry in advance. And I'm sorry for the people who already have to deal with it. I try not to let it show, but sometimes I cant help it.

On a side note...I'm almost 19. I think, compared to most people I've been around recently anyway, I get more enjoyment out of things like birthdays, or Easter, or the dumb little things that bring back old memories. I can't explain it, and I dont care that it may make me seem a little childish sometimes... I dont really see anything wrong with it! :P
Because right now, I've got:
 a red Gerber daisy in a vase thanks to some amazing friends I miss a lot.
A pillow pet sitting on my bed, bein cute.
Sims 3 downloading in my computer AS I TYPE THIS.
A new (used) bike for ragbrai this summer
Cake sitting on the corner of my desk
A big dumb smile on my face because of everything that's happened today
Best. Mood. Ever.

I have the best parents, the best friends, the best boyfriend, and the best support system in the world.  In MY world. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Except better grades in Sight Singing and Aural Training...but that's getting back to reality.
Time for Sims :]

You'll be in My Heart

Day 13 - A picture of your favorite band or artist.

I dont have a favorite band or artist! I like listening to a lot of different music, but i cant listen to a specific person or band consistently. I get tired of it! Favorites right now would be Adele, Muse, Ingrid Michaelson, Jimmy Eat World (a little), and Disney music. I like listening to things that have a variety of chord changes/CREATIVITY, so Jbiebz/rap/current music is not allowed. Otherwise, everything's fine.

Like I've said before, I cant deal with conflicts. Of any kind. Luckily, this past week has been full of them! A few were personal things not worthy of telling to the mass public, but one big one, involving the one and only robin guy...oh man. That's worth describing, i'd say.  So...I am one of the select few who gets to enjoy two days a week of Dr Guy. She's supposed to teach us piano, in a slightly more advanced way, but recently she's been doing crazy things like being anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes late, and even forgetting us entirely. Not to mention that we're about a month behind other piano classes in technique. So this last wednesday, we were all sitting outside our classroom, waiting...12pm comes, then 12:10, then 12:15... Just to check, we called her office.

SHE PICKED UP.

A few people stormed the fortress, and it turns out she's forgotten about us. Not the first time, either. Close to the end of our impromptu class, she's telling us how it's unacceptable that "none" of us are listening to her, and Vinny (Bless his untimely heart) raised his hand and told her it's unacceptable that she forgets about us and is consistently late.  So basically, she broke into a rampage, telling us how she's the busiest person in the school of music, it's not her fault she cant say no to anyone who wants her to accompany them (except it is..?) and that she is 57 and deserves a break. I stared down my piano book through this entire thing.  I admit, I'm a coward. 

So tomorrow's our next class. I'm terrified. 

On the other hand, I got little plants from Targhetto last weekend, and they're already growing! I got little baby sunflowers, zinnias, and coneflowers. Here's the count...

Zinnia: 4 babies

Sunflower: 2 BIG babies

Coneflower (Teemo): 1 new baby (as of this morning!!!)

Needless to say, i now have a new pail with daisies growing in them, and two new things to transfer my little flowers into. 

I love plants :) :) 

This past week was a bit crazy...but i have a feeling the next 5 weeks are going to be crazy as well. In the next 3 weeks alone, i have 11 recital/concerts to go to, as well as a birthday, and sanity to try and maintain. Just to prepare, i bought a fuzzy poster thing to color, as well as a random ladybug to paint. The Target dollar section is Godsent...and yes, maybe I am still a kid at heart. Problem?

For anyone who loves Disney like me :)
