Some things you might've wanted to know... - My real name is Kayla. - My pen name came from a rather popular skit from an episode of Whose Line is it Anyway. You should YouTube it if you're looking for something to do. It's been at least six years since I first saw it, and I still find it funny. - I'm a college student pursuing a BA in Non-Fiction Writing. - In addition to being a mediocre writer, I'm also a mediocre musician. Four and a half years of guitar lessons don't seem to have helped much. - I've been watching The Simpsons religiously for as long as I can remember, and I know more about the show's history than I do about my own grandmother. - My heroes are Conan O'Brien, John Swartzwelder, George Meyer, Adam Durtiz, and Charlie Chaplin. - I deleted all of my stories written before 2008 because there wasn't anything good about them. | |||||||
