...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.

Current Temperature: 77 Degrees Fahrenheit

Song I can't get out of my Head: "Young" by The Summer Set

What I ate (that i remember): Jolly Time Popcorn and A bowl of Cheerios.

*Leonid Stadnik is a REALLY extremely tall Ukranian man, Google it.
