It's January 2, 2009. Two teenage girls, eyes ringed in black, stare deadpan to the camera. My Chemical Romance blasts in the background as they introduce themselves: Raven, the Acid Bath Princess of the Darkness, and Tara. They fill us in on their dislikes (preps, Davey Havok's new hair) and likes (Edward Cullen, Hot Topic) to kick off the new year, even though they advise us, "Crappy New Year. New years, new tears." And thus a meme was born.

What made you want to create the videos in the first place?
I wanted to have a career that involved comedy and/or comedy writing for a while. I had fallen in love with improv when I was, like, in seventh grade, I think. And even if it was never my main focus at the time, it was still something that was incredibly important to me.

FORT GIBSON — It was the kind of game that a team that's used to winning pretty handily needs every now and then.
And that's just what the Fort Gibson girls got Friday night as they had to dig deep into the bench and their psyche to hold off a determined Coweta team 44-37 in the finals of the Fort Gibson Festival at Harrison Field House.
Dickinson Recap, Season 2 Episode 3: 'The Only Ghost…'
Em checks back in with Sue to tell her that she went for a walk with Sam and that she's scared of being published. We are rehashing the same conversation Em and Sue have been having since the season began, and while this is all very realistic (I mean, we all have our obsessions and ruminate on them endlessly) it's also a little water-treading for my taste, especially as our season is supposed to be taking off, and anyway we know what happens re: Em publishing or not!
Candles secured, Em is dressed to mingle with the spirits in her white lacy nap dress with her hair all loose. Vinnie, Midsommar -flower-crowned, is ready, as are their fellow spirit-seekers: Jane and her sidekicks, all of whom are in that like, what if Little House on the Prairie were also kind of sexy by way of a Free People catalog aesthetic. Everyone takes off their shoes and, as Vinnie implores them, brings in good vibes only.

Chart Rewind: In 1983, Michael Jackson & Paul McCartney Thrilled With 'The Girl Is
Lightning struck twice for Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney in 1983, a year in which the two pop icons achieved the rare feat of scoring not one, but two hit duets in a little more than a year -- with the first, "The Girl Is Mine," rocketing to its No. 2 peak on the Billboard Hot 100 on Jan. 8, 1983.
The collaboration between the titans -- one, a leading force behind the most successful group in history, and the other, soon to be his era's biggest solo performer -- came about as the song's producer, Quincy Jones , told Billboard in 2009, simply because "Michael and I just wanted to work with Paul."

El Dorado set to face Hot Springs Lakeside
