About Me
- nodontshoot
- My name is Kayla. I'm currently at the University of Saskatchewan majoring in Native Studies and minoring in English. I'm applying for Education next year and I know I'll get in because I'm awesome like that. I'm very into Leftist politics and if you would like to argue then bring it. I am a very, very left-leaning Socialist and am a member of the New Democratic Party. I'm an Atheist and it works for me. I Ukrainian and Ballet dance professionally with Yevshan Ukrainian Folk Ballet Ensemble and I love it very much. Music is very important to me and I listen to it all the time. I read a lot because I'm a big book-dork. I like to play MUDs and RPGs and I don't care.

Wow.
Good call with the k.d. lang. Her album Hymns of the 49th parallel is amazing. I totally forgot about that one; personally, I liker her cover of Neil Young's Helpless.
Uhh, I'm pretty sure all of you forgot the song "Yours to Keep" by Teddybears Stolckholm
