My name is Shayla, obviously. I listen to lots of ska, but I can't skank. I'm terribly shy, but I love being on stage. I might sing for you, but I don't think I'm very good. I write a lot, but no one is allowed to read it. My looks tend to be rather eccentric, but my personality is not.

I've always dreamed of the day I could call myself a musician, and I can't yet, but I'm still working on it. I love to sing, but I can't do it properly. Regina Spektor inspired me to learn piano, and I'm still not very good at it. I'm really terrible at guitar, but if I could learn to play my acoustic, I'd be in heaven. I'm a "musician in training", I guess.

And speaking of music, I really do like "a little bit of everything." I love ska, punk, indie, psychobilly, powerpop, hip hop, trip hop, folk, antifolk, and yeah, some country too. However, I don't like male country artists, I think most classic rock is overrated, and I'm quite picky about rap. But give me any band/artist, and I'll give it a try. I'm quite fond of female artists. Pandora.com is one of my best friends, as it introduces me to new artists all the time.

For some reason unbeknown to me, I really enjoy lists, mostly of the "top ten" variety. Listverse.com and TopTenz.net are some of my favorite websites and I read them religiously (among a few others). But despite my love of lists, I'm really unorganized. I work better in chaos than neatness. If I'm not surrounded by junk, I have a very hard time concentrating.

I'm really, terribly, dreadfully shy. So shy that it's nearly crippling sometimes. I tend to assume that I won't be liked, so I hold back. I take criticism very personally, even when I know it's not meant that way. Sometimes when I'm nervous I lose my voice, which just makes me even more nervous. Some people find it rude that I don't talk to them and attribute it to me thinking I'm "better" than them. Of course, that's not the case at all. It's usually because I'm afraid of being judged harshly or I just really can't talk. But I prefer talking in person to talking on the phone. Phones really terrify me. I avoid using them at all costs (except for texting, which I enjoy very much).

I hate the misuse of the word "random". No, you are not "lulz so crazy and random". The things you do or think or say are not random. There is something that triggers it, it is connected to something else, and it is not random. Very few things are actually random. Do not use this word around me. Kthnx.

I'm with a really amazing guy named Luke that I met on this site. He makes me all romantic and cheesy, which I'm normally not, so pardon the following paragraph. I have never felt so strongly about anyone else, and I have never trusted a guy as much as I trust him. I think of him when I hear cheesy sweet love songs. I never want to be without him. He makes me feel like the most important person in the world. I know he won't break my heart.

For those of you questioning why I'm on still on a dating site when I have such a wonderful relationship, well, it's because I damn well want to be. I've met quite a few really good friends on this site, and I'm not just making this up, I really did join this site for the quizzes in the beginning. But yeah, I really do have nothing better to do with my life.

I lost my train of thought while writing this, so if you'd like to know anything else, I suppose you could ask. Or don't. Your loss.

Not much. Still in school, and after that, I've got no clue. I'm not a planner.

Cutting pizzas. Being jealous. Sarcasm. Changing my hair. Sleeping. Becoming mediocre at something and then moving on to something else.

I'm trying to learn how to draw chibis and such.

I'm short and quiet and my hair and clothes are kinda weird.

Kittens and zombies and music and hair and clothes and sex and drugs and you and me and I think too much.

not doing anything, because Friday isn't any different for me than every other day because I basically have no life. Let's stay up late and talk on the interwebz, yo.

I'm unhealthily infatuated with Regina Spektor.

I can't drive, and I mostly blame it on the nightmares I have about driving that have occurred for as long as I can remember.

Sometimes I enjoy sitting around and watching game shows all day.

I fucking hate scenesters.

you wanna be BFFLs. You like Regina Spektor as much as I do. You wanna start a fight. You like angry chick music. You like other types of chick music. You like cats more than dogs. You're online late at night when no one seems to be awake and you're desperate for someone to talk to. You know how to properly use an apostrophe. You're from Planet Claire.
