Kim Riddle

By Johnny Buchanan

Quietly as if lost in thought, Kim Riddle gets off the school bus. As she goes through the day, Kim seems shy, but she is actually talkative and hyper.

“I am very outgoing after school,” said Kim.

This Ponca-City born, Native American/Mexican sophomore has a life vision.

“I’m following my dreams,” said Kim who wants to start a band. And that is just what she is doing.

Kim sings in the garage band Dying Faith with her friend and guitarist Andrew Huster. They are looking for a bass player and a drummer.

The bands that influence her are Marilyn Manson, Korn, and Evanescence because their lyrics mimic how she feels.

“It’s stuff I can sing along to most of the time,” said Kim.

Things Kim could live without are TV, but not music. She also could live without “preppy people and homework.”

As for what she wants to do in the future, Kim laughed and said, “I want to clean my room.”
