Some of these are just songs I loved that year and some are songs that represented how I was feeling.
Before Birth - "Yellow" - Coldplay
There's a story behind this I think I'm going to get my mom to tell in one of her writing prompts
1st year if life! - Happy Birthday
(1997)
2 - Winnie the Pooh
I linked a cover version because the original actually scares me now. It's the way it's sung not the song itself. Yes, I still love Winnie the Pooh. I still love all of the shows my childhood songs are from
3 - Blue's Clues
They're a bunch of songs from Blues Clues that would have fit here. That one was just the clip I found that represented blues clues. And by the way I'm team Steve not team Joe. TEAM STEVE ALL THE WAY!
4 - Seseame Street via Pentatonix
This clip doesn't have the Sesame Street characters it's actually the singing group called Pentatonix on the show but I'm big fans of them and I wanted to incorporate them as well
5 - Scooby-Doo
I'm a huge Scoob-Doo fan. I have my sister in it too which is awesome. One of the newer movies has Mathew Grey Gubler in it. It's awesome. I love him and he plays a nerd and I also love nerds.
I think I started Elementary School around here.
6 - "ABC" - Jackson 5
I went throw a huge Michael Jackson phase when he died. I was older but I thought ABC;s for a six year old.
7 - "Gummy Bear Song" German Version
I loved the Gummy Bear Song and new it so well that I would play the German version to learn the language and ended up like the German version better. And now I actually know the German version better. I have looked at in years so it was really funny to sing German and have everyone go whaaaaaaaaaat.
8 - "Big Girl's Don't Cry" - Fergi
9 - "Irreplaceable" - Beyonce
I still thought the song was called, to the left.
10 - "I Will Survive" - Gloria Gaynor Via "Medium"
I used the clip from the show Medium because that's where I fell in love with the song. Me and my mom would go to my aunts every Monday to watch this show and as a kid (I can't exactly remember how old I was) it was a little scary but I still love the show. And I only really wanted the first part of the episode where she's dreaming. But the song plays the entire episode on her head so it kept going. This episode is actually one of my favorites.
11 - "Boom Boom Pow" - The Black Eyes Peas
This was actually 12 but I already filled 12. My sixth grade teacher loved this song and we teased her and ended up like it. Me and my cousin made dance routines to this!
12 - "We Go Together" - Grease
I discovered Grease this year
Warning it get's dramatic for these two years
Middle School (A.K.A the dark age)
13 - "Bring Me To Life" - Evanescene
14 - Only Human! - Christina Perri
Higschool!
15 - "All About That Base" - Meghan Trainer
16 - "What Would You Do?" - Bastille (Cover)
I love this song. No this does not represent that I got pregnant at 16 and became a stripper to support the baby or something. It's just a good song.
17 - "Gooey" - Glass Animals
I've recently really started to dig this sort of genre. Don't ask me what's it called I don't get it.
I like this song because he says "Pooh Bear" we know why I like that and "Peanutbutterflies" which is something I really love for some reason ever since I heard it in an anime when I went through my anime phase. The song was just cute and silly and I loved it. I actually may talk about it in another Blog because I found it very inspiring.
So those are my songs! I had a lot of fun with this one. So obviously I forgot some songs and some didn't make the cut but there you go. This should be my life as a musical. I want Jenifer Lawrence to play me. Not because she looks like me but because I think she's hot. She will have to change her hair to look like mine though.
P.S. Mystery/Bonus Song (From KY)
Week Two:
(I don't say this outloud but I've always wanted to. Remember when I said I don't curse very much? Well, I curse a lot in my head when walking through hallways to class.)
Move faster! Oh my god what are you people cattle?! This is a hallway for gods sake! Get to class! I have places to go and things to learn! Get out of my way! Yes, let's walk right into my you ****ing giant! Have you walked in a hallway before?! Yes, let's hug right in the middle of the hallway! Let's block the way like a ****! Who are you the queen of ****ing England I don't move for you ***** you move for me! Stop touching me! You are in my bubble! GET OUT OF MY ****ING BUBBLE! AAAAAAH! There are to many people in this ****ing hallway! Get out of my way! People do not know how to walk in hallways! I wish hallways were divided like streets. I am at a dead stop what the **** are you doing?! Get the **** out of my way. Save me! Someone help me! I can't walk side by side with someone without people walking between us? Do I have to hold their hand or will you still walk between us like a ***head? Move your *** people! Get away from me! Get out of my way! You are walking straight towards me go around god **** it! I have nowhere to go, go around me ****head! I am going to be late for class and I still have to pee! I hate you and you and you! Get out of my bubble! **** you ****head! This is a struggle! Oh my god he is getting her pregnant right in the middle of the walk way! What are you doing?! Move! AAAAH! I hate people!
I love summer. This is my ever day school life right here. Six classes makes five times I gotta rush to a different class and sometimes use the bathroom because some teacher won't let you go (don't even get me started on that). And sometimes the class is across the compass. I have this fantasy of wearing like a full on football player get up and holding a football in one arm while is the other arm straight out and running through the hallway. People would sure get out of my way then. I once had a dream I was in a zombie apocalypse and I had this supper power to like send people flying away from me which was very handy when zombies where trying to nom on my giblets. And I was protected by any group I wanted because they wanted me in their group to keep the zomzoms away. I wish I had that power in real life. I would totally use it in the hallways.
Week Three:
(Not my favorite song, but I felt like telling a story about it)
There was a teenage boy named John. He was widely known by alot of people as "The Salty One" (who knows why?). He's never shy to say what was on his mind and always kept it real for anyone who ever knew him. He's was always loud, especially when it came to talking with his good friends Ky, Gabby, Anita, and Tiarra about the amazing goddess known as Beyonce.
Though, on the inside, he always felt alone. All his life, he always felt out of place. Since he transferred schools, he felt more inclusive with other people and felt like he found a true home, but he still felt isolated from the crowd as if no one understood.
Finally, summer was here! (GOD IS REAL FOR THAT ONE!) He was excited to spend his first summer with his friends and be social for the first time in his life. But, as time went on, he noticed on Snapchat how a lot of friends went on special outings without him. He thought maybe he just didn't get the invite and that he'll be invited to something else. As more time passed, the more he spent at home working on AP assignments instead of hanging out with close friends. As a result, he grew deeply depressed and felt UBERLY isolated as if there was something wrong with. It got to the point where he couldn't finish writing a song because his primary focus was being invited to the beach.
One night, as he was listening to variety on Spotify from Lana Del Rey to Jay Z (and of course Beyonce because she is life and the queen of everything), a song vicariously turned by his one of his favorite artists, Emeli Sande. A song called "Free" that she did with a group known as Rudimental came on and blasted into his ears like a rocket. At first, he cried knowing that no one likes him and that he wasn't good enough. But, as he paid attention to the lyrics, he realized something; as if this sort of epiphany just came to mind. He realized that there was nothing wrong with him in the first place and that he was truly important. The more he began to listen, the better he felt, and the less isolated he was feeling. And in the end, John was happy for the first time in his life.
Kyla decided to start a blog. She had to many things to say. At least she thought so. She believed she had important things to say and experiences to share. She had spent so long trying to be someone else. Keeping the things she didn't like about herself inside herself, instead of accepting who she was and celebrating the things that made her different. She knows she's not the only one who's spent so long attempting to be someone else. Her blog is for them. She didn't care if the world new what her secrets where. So what. She was over it.

"I'v got bipolar disorder
My s***'s not in order
I'm overweight
I'm always late
I rock mom jeans, cat earrings
Extrapolate my feelings
My family is dysfunctional
But we have a good time killing each other
My s***'s not in order
I'm overweight
I'm always late
I rock mom jeans, cat earrings
Extrapolate my feelings
My family is dysfunctional
But we have a good time killing each other
I can't think straight, I'm so gay
Sometimes I cry a whole day
I care a lot, use an analog clock
And never know when to stop
And I'm passive, aggressive
I'm scared of the dark and the dentist
I love my butt and won't shut up
And I never really grew up"
Sometimes I cry a whole day
I care a lot, use an analog clock
And never know when to stop
And I'm passive, aggressive
I'm scared of the dark and the dentist
I love my butt and won't shut up
And I never really grew up"
Until next time.

Week Four
You get to be any singer you choose and sing one song in a live concert.
I love the romantic aspect to his songs. A lot of songs these day are pretty vulgar when it comes to that sort of thing. And he sings like an angel. If I wanted any other voice it would be his And because he's gay his love songs are about men and that makes him a big inspiration to my community which I like. Their aren't a lot of gay singers out their or gay singers who sing love songs about the same sex. When I first got into him I saw an interview of someone talking to him about how him being openly gay and singing love songs about men was making him this huge beacon of inspiration to everyone. Not just people in the business or the spot light but everyone listening to his music.
I would sing either "Like I can" I really love the part where it hits the high part. Or "Lay me down" it's such an amazing song and he sings it so amazingly and paired with the music video it is a master piece. If you have not seen that video you need to click that link right now it is the best music video I have seen since Thriller (which as we know changed/paved the way for music videos so we are not allowed to say this one is better). And Sam Smith is really cute.
Hmm, both Jalen and I switched genders.
Week Five
Put your I pod on random shuffle, write down the lyric of the first song that comes on, and use it in your story
"Right from the start you were a thief who stole my heart."
Those lyrics spoke to me everytime I thought of Travis James, who was the love of my life at one point. When we were together, it felt like electric to me because he was not only the first I fell in love with, but was my first real life experience with love. It was the equivalent to being in this sort of trance that felt good in your mind, but after a while it felt like a nightmare. But at that time, I fell with the beautiful nightmare that he was. Many people, including my good friends Ky and Gabby, told me to leave him because he was not good for me whatsoever. But that's why I loved him... That's why girls in the movies loved the bad guys: I thought I'd end up changing him to make him the good guy for me and prove everyone wrong. In the end, I ended up the one to be proven wrong. So when I think of this song, I reflect on that relationship, where I asked him to give me a rer to stay in that 19 month relationship even though he hurt me to the core.

"Shake my bones and rattle my grave."
---
An earthquake. It shook streets, rocked buildings, rattled graves. The dead woke. As if from a deep slumber. Bodies in different degrees of decomposition fight free. Six feet under. Coffin lids no longer closed. Zombies shiver, lifting their face to the sky, sun on their pale skin. Ghosts slip like silk out of their bodies long been dust. Skeletons with scraps of clothing, and loose rings, shake their bones. The dead walk. Many don't make it past the graveyard gate. To slow. The Grim Reaper sends them back. Others seek the living. Seek vengeance, forgiveness, love, things they once had that they lost or had taken away from them by death.
The citizens of the city are not worried when the dead walk. They see make-up, costumes, tv magic. The do not see the dead. Not yet. The dead walks amongst the living looking for familiar faces. Zombie's glazed eyes roam from face to face. Ghosts pale eyes flash from one to another. Skeleton's dark holes look from here to there.
Few find what they're looking for. Many don't have time. They're swept up in the Reaper's cloak. He searches for lost souls to take them back to their graves.
By dawn the dead is dead again.
Until next time,
