"Surprise, Surprise. It's about a Jonas Brother."

"Life is about having a great time." ~Miley Cyrus

As it was represented through Miley's, in my opinion, mind-blowing performance last night @ Rock in Rio. If you listen carefully to the beginning of the clip above you'll hear Miley say:
"This song is about two people who will always come back to each other no matter what anyone says or all the bad people who try to keep you a part. It's a personal story. Surprise, surprise its about a Jonas Brother."

I also love the fact that in between lines she said "You didn't hear that."

But other wise, Miley's performance was amazing. Her Joan Jett medley was really great too. She's really grown up *tear*tear*, & she'll say DAMN and HELL in any of her songs no matter what the soccer moms say.

I didn't think I was going to be able to post this tonight. There was a giant crack of thunder during the afternoon and it basically shut down my Internet for about 3 hours.

So I watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off in the living room with my twin, and ate Rice Chex Cereal. Because we're fly.

We also had the most extreme water gun fight ever.

I had the super-soaker and DRENCHED him. When he stole the super-soaker from me, I filled an empty milk-gallon container with water and DRENCHED him some more. So I guess that makes me the Ultimate Extreme Water Gun Fight Winner.

Be pretty in pink, fly to the moon, and eat a Taco,
Kayla.

Gary Coleman died on the 28th of May from an Intracranial Hemorrhage, or bleeding within the skull or brain.

He will be missed.

So, today. I felt sick this morning and could not attend a Pancake Breakfast with the rest of my family. They went and ate and enjoyed warm pancakey goodness with puddles of syrup and crunchy bacon... while I was sprawled across my bed with a case of stomach cramps. Since they went to the Breakfast, they didn't go to church, and I missed Sunday school for the 4th week in a row. They also went and did laundry and I was too tired and crabby to do anything, so I just moved my location into the living room and onto the couch.

Ahh, Sunday morning ABC FAMILY always cures the cramps.

I sat through and kind of enjoyed the Sandlot 2. I mean NOTHING will every compare or even come close to the original, but at least it didn't wreck as bad as Grease 2.

Then I got up, and made some toaster waffles. The Goonies came on, and I was in heaven. The Goonies has always been one of my most absolute favorite movies of all time. (It's right up there with The Perfect Storm and E.T.) And I mean, two words: TRUFFLE SHUFFLE.

Later on, we barbecued. And I am the opposite figure for a BBQ. My brother is perfect for it. He has piles of macaroni salad, burgers with cheese, lettuce, buns, baked beans, and a few hot dogs. While I, have a plain burger (no bun) and lots and lots of salad. See, I told you I'd been fine as a vegan!

Stay out of detention, Think Like Yoda, And Proclaim that You're on a Boat,
Kayla.

Yard Sales, I hate you so.

"Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic." ~Anonymous

Memorial Day Weekend. A time for remembering, Eating hot dogs and watermelon until you can regurgitate a bathtub's cubic volume of chunks, and yard sales.

Oh, I hate yard sales. I mean, I understand the point of them, and I have also been a part of several it's just... no one really wants your crap. Plates, stuffed animals, old weights, books that no one has heard of, Candle holders, broken blenders... I mean seriously, if you didn't want it, what makes you think anyone else in the tri-state area will?

We must have stopped at eight in two hours, and I'm pretty sure my mother only bought two things. My twin brother, Joe, just HAD TO buy the $0.25 plastic gun for creative purposes. Sometimes I can hardly believe he is my double.

Every once in a while you can find something good and cheap. But WALMART is on roll-back steroids right now, and the Salvation Army is as good as any thrift store. And honestly, what happens to the items not purchased? Do you throw them away? Re-gift them? Yard sales are a waste of sunshine, time, and effort.

We stopped at a local Pizzeria afterwards and Joe got this ridiculous P'zone type stuffed Pizza and it must have weighed the same as an overweight Chihuahua. My mother and I got into a stupid fight about money I received from my grandmother (I think I wanted my exact change and she wasn't giving it to me at the moment? PMS is the only explanation.) in a card--$30, cha-ching!--so I basically bolted out of the restaurant and sat on a hill outside. This hill was covered in clovers, weeds, dragonflies, and any other insect thinkable.

I must have gotten over it eventually, and there was an art fair across the street that we went to.

My neighbor makes signs (quite well, actually) and he and his wife were there. Some painters, sketchers, artists in general. Most of it was pretty cool too. There was also this woman who made necklaces and pins out of glass (here's the link: http://www.reflectedfire.com) and I thought they looked AMAZING, so check her out.

...Hello.

How does one come upon starting a new blog?

I never really liked writing "About Me"s, so let's cut to the chase.

Hey, my name is Kayla. I, like any female of my age is trying to discover myself. I throw fits, get angry, get even, and sometimes do things I am forced to confess to God while sitting in my closet throwing everything around. But, hey, we all do something (or a couple of things) we probably regret. That's what the Internet is for, right?

Let's just say: I am NOT popular, and for one, am glad for that. I play clarinet in the school band; read constantly; listen to Paramore and country music; am probably the only girl in my entire grade who doesn't wear skinny jeans; eat ribs like an overweight, greasy 40 year old man with a balding scalp and only one tank top that STICKS to himself... but then I feel bad because of the abuse cows go through while being slaughtered. I LOVE to watch chick flicks (One of my favorites is Never Been Kissed); Ke$ha is my inspiration on life!; I own a fuzzy, purple computer chair that I sit-and-spin around in for minutes upon minutes. I purposely bought a red American Idol coke cup replica to drink from while watching the show and I do kickboxing tapes almost everyday. I'd go vegan if my mother would let me, and I am an avid cereal-eating-machine. I personally think Cheerios are the best creation since, well ever. And I am probably one of the only students in my school who thinks that you DON'T need a cellphone to live... but on the other hand, I think that about the Internet...

I have an opinion. Some adults praise me for my outlook and awareness, while others think I should "slow it down". I love SNL, and hayleyghoover. My favorite colors are green and purple, and I've wanted to dye my hair red since I was 10 years old. It hasn't happened yet. I'm stuck in a town with a population of less than 500 and everyone knows each other. Gossip spreads like a wildfire, not only in the high school--but the supermarket of all places. It snows mountains of white in the winter, and reaches 90 degrees in April. The thunder is loud, the lightning shakes the neighborhood, and the trees are taller than Leonid Stadnik*.

The girls obsess over Justin Bieber and Taylor Lautner, while completely trying to avoid the fact that they'll never date them and that they should focus on not failing science. Guys are either perverted, sick in the head, to cool to be seen with anyone but their posse, thinking about the football game they saw on TV last night, thinking about the untouched left-over lasagna in their fridge waiting for them when they get off the bus, or not being able to bear sitting through a lecture on rational numbers, when they know that they HAVE to beat their old high score on Super Mario Party 8, or they will be shamed as a total 'loser' by their already nerdy friends.

I enjoy singing and playing piano, but I'm not in the school chorus and I can only play "Chopsticks", "Minuet in G", "Waltz", The Star Wars theme, "Tik Tok", and the intro to "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton. I watch tons and tons of YouTube videos. Gotitans999 has taught me SOO much about the piano and of course, fiveawesomegirls is amazing. My friends say I can sing above average and that I should join choir with them, but I really don't want to be singing Michael Jackson for a whole auditorium of parents. Sorry.

I run a lot. I participate in the school running teams yearly. Cross country in the fall, Indoor track in the winter, and Outdoor track in the spring. My track team-mates and I have written COUNTLESS raps about current events and pop culture; we're hoping to post some on YouTube on a later date. My favorite pizza toppings are Pineapple and Ham and I don't drink soda anymore. I am on the Principal's List/Very High Honors list and like tee shirts that make fun of current affairs (for example: http://snorgtees.com). My favorite shoe brand is Converse, and I like to add my own flair to the shoes themselves. I decorate (some would say destroy) my jeans with fabric paint, until they look like they've been revived from 1988 and re-bought at the Salvation Army (which is one of my favorite places to shop, ever). Some people love me others hate me, you can decide for yourself which path you choose to choose.
