Name/ grade/ school: Kyra Kiehna/ senior/ Riverbend High School
What's the biggest trouble you've ever gotten into? I've never gotten into any serious trouble, just some groundings here and there for being an angst-filled teen.
What are your New Year's resolutions? I need to learn how to operate a motor vehicle. I'm 17 years old, and I still don't have my license. Also, I'd like to get a part-time job and make money for college.
You wake up with no feet--what happened? After many years of ballet and dancing on pointe, I lost all feeling in my feet and had to have them surgically removed.
How do you think the world will end? Sarah Palin, in an attempt to brush up on her knowledge of foreign policy for her 2012 campaign, will ride a moose over to Russia and engage in a conversation that will lead to World War III. From there, the world will run out of oil, and with no alternative energy programs in place, the world will end, leaving only cockroaches able to survive.
What's your least favorite class? Chorus--I love to sing and I love the teacher, but the class is full of sophomores.
What's your opinion on meat? Currently, I'm a meat-eater. However, I'm not a big fan of the stuff. I'd like to eventually become a vegetarian.
What are you looking forward to? Like every other senior, I'm going to have to say graduation. However, I'm also pretty anxious to see the new season of "Flight of the Conchords" and get my hands on a copy of the new Ben Kweller album.
Does love really solve all obstacles? No. I think it often creates more obstacles than it solves, especially for young people.
Have you ever eaten ramen noodles raw? No, and I don't ever plan on it. That's simply barbaric.
Describe the perfect day: I wake up and have an Asiago [cheese] bagel from Einstein's Bagels. After finishing my breakfast, Conor Oberst suddenly appears on my doorstep. After accepting his marriage proposal, I hop onto his tour bus and we go to New York City for a Bright Eyes show. During the final song, he invites me onstage to sing the female vocals in "Landlocked Blues." After the show, I arrive home to find a college acceptance letter from the University of Virginia.
