this afternoon, at the gas station, amid the confusion of trying to hold onto my credit card, receipt and keys- while the wind was trying to blow my face off- i set off my car alarm.
... the one that sounds like a dying squirrel getting its tail run over by a bike? ...
yeah. that one.

does anybody remember the night before our first day of senior year when we thought it would be really fun to go paint the rock and get dibs on the best parking spaces?
and then it rained later.
and the next morning, like, me, natalie and kellie were the only ones who had our names written in obnoxious pink chalky letters all over the parking lot?
and then in homeroom, mr. farley was like: "okay. it's great that you guys are seniors now and all. but you can't just take over parking spots. and you can't get mad at people for parking there. and, you can't claim parking spots."
i'm not sure where i was going with that...

tonite i saw take the lead. with one fiiiine spaniard actor. lol. but really, you guys. go see it when it comes out for real on friday.
(amanda: you. would. be. in. LOVE.)
i'm not gonna lie. it made me wanna come home, pop in my "big boy mix 2005" cd, and work on my moves.

...

my dancing is very, very silly.

so, ya know. it's been a while.
if you want to know how spring break was, check up on it on facebook.
and it was nice to see my girls this weekend.
and God's been teaching me to trust him. he knows what i need, what i want more than anything, and where i am right now. somehow he's always meeting me there.

right. i think something's wrong with me. every night i get like, 10 hours of sleep. like, last night for example. then, why... why can't i keep my eyes open during my ELEVEN O'CLOCK class? my teacher kept looking at me funny. like maybe i have ADD... cause if i stared at her too long, i saw two teachers. so my eyes were darting everywhere, like i'm 5 or something.

i think everyone in the scott hall computer lab is mad at me. i just printed off like 60 pages of notes for a class. (the one i really, really, really don't like.) and then when the printer ran out of paper about half way through, i just went and sat back down. the boy with the fun mullet is trying to print something now, looking disgustedly at the printer and around the room simultaneously. i'm hoping that no one will notice that i'm the only one in the lab with an obnoxious stack of papers sitting next to them...

gah. someone found paper for that mug. print kayla, print!

love love.

there's one week left until spring break. my phone has been counting it down for like, 50 days now.

funny things keep happening to me, but i think they'll lose some of their funniness if i put them on here. so please, ask me in person.

in other news, i am now one of those people that carries 1,002 books to class daily and drops them everywhere on a regular basis. i think people think i'm dropping them just so i can see them bend down to pick them up, but that's not it at all. i just haven't mastered the art of book carrying yet. so, don't hate.

last nite i was thinking about how God must feel when we get so down on ourselves and feel lonely. i imagined him, crying, and saying, "don't you know that I love you; can't that be enough?!" ... how humbling.
don't read anything into that; just think about it.

so yeah. "im lovin' it" (speaking of this GORGEOUS weather)... and maybe it's just me, but i keep feeling like it's last year again. like i'm all pumped up 'cause softball season is about to start, like we all've got senioritis, and we're  more than excited to graduate.
but it's not.
even though i think the spring time makes me miss so many things that used to be, i'm still excited to see what's next. all we can do is drive along, roll down our windows, turn up the boom boom, and enjoy today.

hugs, &hearts, kayla

gah. i need to work out. i have a membership to the Y, and theres this thing called the REC at ut. somebody PLEASE tell me why i have yet to visit either place?
oh yeah. that's right. i'm lazy.

i skipped my last class today. it was just too cold outside. psh. what a great excuse.

this morning, i was thinking about baby names. now, just to clarify, i'm not having a baby.
but i came up with a list. a list of names that my little eventual bundle of joy will not be carrying:
(and if this is your name, i'm sorry.)

1. zoe - i can see it, after i'm dead: "come on kids! we're gonna go visit grandma ZOE!"
2. arnold- steve arnold. nothing against him. that's just all i would be able to think of.
3. moesha- i don't know. i just don't think it would work.
4. mckayla- it's like my name. but not.
5. caleb- again. i would get confused.
6. chris brown- is yo man. on da floo.
7. florence- i want my kids to love me.
8. dee-dee- "hi, my name is a consonant."
9. apple- or orange. or pear.
10. junior- it's like the baby was like "surprise! you've had 9 months to name me, and now i'm here! it's for real now!"

okay thats it. enjoy today everybody!
