And We're Freaking Back!

Fact #18 - Kiki owns an electric violin. Once a week, she spikes her hair, gets out her leopard vest, and recreates the Timothy Busfield scene in Revenge of the Nerds. So awesome!

Author's note - I "ran" into Kiki last night and we got to talking and she was totally fine with Kiki Facts making a limited run comeback. Here's how it went down.

Me

Hey, Kiki.

Kiki

(to her friends)

Just keep walking.

Me

I think I want to start up Kiki Facts again.

Kiki

Leave me alone, creep.

Me

Thanks for your blessing. New one tomorrow. I hope you'll read.

Kiki

I'm calling 9-1-1.

Me

You have a good evening, too.

This Is The End

Fact #17 - Kiki knows how to file a restraining order, apparently.

Author's note - Fellow Kiki Enthusiasts, it is a sad day and I will be done with updates to this blog. Rather than speculate what Kiki is up to from 100 feet away and posting what may be an untruth, I will move on to better things (unless someone has a pair of binoculars they can lend me). So, know that I appreciate everyone that stopped by. I ask you to truly know that. Alas, I can't type anymore. It's too painful. I'm not mad at you, Kiki. How can I stay mad at that face to the right over there? -->

MMMBop

Fact #16 - Kiki loves the words of Hanson's biggest hit so much that they make up her favorite quote on Facebook. This is so impressive because, while some people stab themselves in the ear when the song comes on (Ear stabbings have been up tremendously since June 1997.) and the rest of us with ears intact can't get past the stupid chorus, Kiki hears the words. She hears the message and she shares it with all of us. Can't we all just plant a seed or a flower or a rose?

Sensitive

Fact #15 - Kiki's heart breaks whenever she sees a plastic bag floating in the wind. So thanks a lot, Department of Sanitation. Way to break Kiki's heart almost every day.

Erin Go Kiki

Fact #14 - Kiki went to Dublin on the Study Abroad Program in college. She picked Dublin because they spoke English and liked to drink. I would add something humorous here but I think it stands on its own.

Oklahoma!

Fact #13 - Kiki played Ado Annie, the girl who "cain't say no," in her Junior High production of "Oklahoma!" Her performance was so magical that the The Doings: Western Springs Edition had the words "an inspiration" somewhere in their pages. Also, in what can only be attributed to the infectious spirit of Kiki's character, four middle school girls got themselves pregnant that night.*

* Four middle school girls get pregnant every day but, on that night, this author likes to think it was Kiki's greatness that ruined four lives.

Almost MTV

Fact #12 - Kiki hosted a talk show on her local cable station where they would play music videos and give local bands a chance to show their stuff. She was like the Vanessa Minnillo of Western Springs, Illinois.

Special Thanks to Kiki, herself, for the correction.
