How do i stop my kitten from climbing curtains?

My kitten is so mean! If she's not attacking me, she's bouncing off the walls. One problem she has that really gets under my skin is her curtain climbing. When I see her doing it I yell at her at she doesn't even acknowledge me. It's like she's in her own little world. Definitely different than any cat or dog I've ever had. I have to get up every time to go pull her off them. When she sees me coming she bolts and tries to make a game of it. This makes me even more angry, and by the time I catch her I'm ready to kill her (not really, but it still pisses me off). I don't know why she would think it's fun to run from me, cause she knows she's gonna get spanked and time out. I'm pretty sure she's not deaf cause when I call her (kitty, kitty, kitty) she comes running. Time out doesn't seem to work though cause like 2 minutes after she's out she's curtain climbing again. I just want to enjoy my kitten instead of having to battle with her every day. This is just one of her problems - she has many many more, but I think this one needs fixing first. Please help!
