<p>hair powder. i never even thought of it before. you know when your hair gets all greasy right before you have to be somewhere and look all nice and cute? sucks, doesn&#8217;t it? well, you can just get this stuff, spray it on your little noggin, and BAM! greasies are all gone. it comes in a bunch of different colors, so theres something for everyone. great for color treated hair that you don&#8217;t want to wash as much, too. now personally, i think this stuff is genius. but that&#8217;s just me. probably a lot of people think that&#8217;s disgusting and you should just wash your hair more. but hey, what ever floats your boat right?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span><span>ohhh</span> the <span>AMA&#8217;s</span> here we go 2008!</span></p>
<p>7:56</p>
<p><span>Lets hope someo<span>ne</span> can avoid falling on their knees. Anyway, I&#8217;m excited for this year everyo<span>ne</span> looks really good on the <span>preshow</span>. I ADORE <span>demi</span> <span>lovato&#8217;s</span> dress, she looks adorable, and <span>rihannah</span> looked pretty fierce. Christian <span>Siriano</span> was on the <span>pre</span>-show, and man he&#8217;s fierce, now Christina <span>Aguliera</span> is performing and <span>i&#8217;m</span> not really digging her bangs but, hey she&#8217;s awesome  <span>i&#8217;m</span> gonna keep a running commentary here, editing when i thi<span>nk</span> things need to be added. (this is <span>katy</span> by the way) and <span>torrey</span> may update too, since she&#8217;s probably thinking about it too. man i wish i could be on the red carpet.</span></p>
<p>8:12</p>
<p><span>so, jimmy <span>kimmel</span> is insa<span>ne</span>. (happy sweet sixteen <span>Miley</span>, your dress is <span>hella</span> pretty). and <span>dayum</span> that was rough my friend. attacking <span>Jaylor</span> AND <span>Niley</span> i feel bad that the <span>Jonas</span> brothers have to go on Jimmy <span>Kimmel</span> this week that&#8217;s gonna be awkward. So, Christina was an epic win, even though her dancing was iffy. <span>ps</span>. <span>i&#8217;ll</span> put up a list of all the winners at the bottom. New kids on the Block, pretty cool kids but their performance is weirding me out a little. Its like <span>BSB</span> or N*SYNC got older and stole the <span>jonas</span> brothers clothes. But don&#8217;t listen to me, i was not there the first time around. So don&#8217;t bite my head off.</span></p>
<p>Winners</p>
<p>Favorite Female Artist R/B and Soul: <strong><span><span>Rihanna</span></span></strong></p>
<p>Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist: <strong>Chris Brown</strong> (oh couples [not me unfortunately] winning back to back awards)</p>
<p>Favorite Country Duo or Band: <strong><span>Rascal <span>Flatts</span></span></strong> (wow all my favorites are winning! i used to have the BIGGEST crush on Joe Don Rooney)</p>
<p>Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album: <strong><span><span>Kanye</span> West</span></strong></p>
<p>Favorite Male Country Artist: <strong>Brad Paisley </strong></p>
<p>Favorite Pop/Rock Album: <strong>Alicia Keys </strong>(not surprising in the least)</p>
<p>Favorite Country Female Artist: <strong>Taylor Swift </strong>(also not surprising)</p>
<p>Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist: <strong>Rihanna </strong>(wow, i thought Alicia had that one.)</p>
<p>Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Male Artist: <strong>Kanye West</strong> (again, thank god it&#8217;s not lil wayne)</p>
<p>Breakout Artist of the Year: <strong>Jonas Brothers</strong> (GOOD JOB BOYS, I&#8217;M PROUD)</p>
<p>Favorite Soul/R&amp;B Album: <strong>Alicia Keys</strong></p>
<p>8:28</p>
<p><span>T-Pain, wow that outfit was scary, but Paris Hilton looked absolutely gorgeous. I love pinks dress and her hair, very 30s-40s standard singer with her flapper back up signers. P!<span>nk</span> i should say, she&#8217;s so hard core.</span></p>
<p>8:37</p>
<p><span>Taylor Swift is beautiful, but her hair looks kinda frizzy. but anyway, i was totally expecting her to sing something along the lines of love story, but White Horse is a pleasant surprise,  it&#8217;s my second favorite off the new album, Hey Stephen. It appears as if she is looking at Joseph, but that&#8217;s just speculation. and for the record, White Horse was NOT written for Joe, it was on the album too early. Ne-Yo is on now, and man he is FINE. closer is quite possibly the best song ever and man he wins at mic tricks. dude a Joe Jonas/Ne-yo mic trick battle would be so sweet!</span></p>
<p>8:51</p>
<p><span><span>KANYEEEEEE</span>! I&#8217;m really glad he won, i strongly dislike Lil&#8217; Way<span>ne</span>. <span>Kanye</span> doesn&#8217;t match very well but he&#8217;s so cool. Side note, ama&#8217;s like the physical award look dangerous. Like i would fall on it and pierce my liver. Apparently he wants to be Elvis, that&#8217;s interesting. <span>JMAC</span>! he&#8217;s a pretty boy. I&#8217;ve loved the kid since dream street. Leona Lewis is really cool, oh she looks really pretty! </span></p>
<p><span>9:03</span></p>
<p><span>Billy Ray introducing Miley? That&#8217;s odd but i&#8217;m excited for her performance. He looks like he&#8217;s wearing eyeliner and he needs to shave his stache. Fly on the wall! woot! i like her outfit! i hate her for her hair. but yes she&#8217;s fantastic. as i said earlier happy sweet sixteen!awh david archuleta is REALLY short or the girl from Secret Life is really tall. Cowboy hats should not be worn inside. HE&#8217;S GOT JOKES! i love funny celebrities. So coldplays great and all, but i just really they aren&#8217;t my favoiret. Colbie Callait is so pretty but she looked really nervous. Go alicia, i love love love love love her dress.</span></p>
<p><span>9:25 </span></p>
<p><span>Wu-Tang clan can&#8217;t name the Jonas brothers. Go Mariah! I had no idea she was even close to those records! Her dress is really pretty but how can she walk in it?! and frequently forget that she is married to Nick Cannon that&#8217;s so random. I like that song, and Nick Lachey is wearing a bit too much grey. Wow she&#8217;s too cute!  i love her dress and her shoes are killer. I love celebrities that are genuinely excited about things. Fact: she grew up like two hours away from me. If you haven&#8217;t bought her album yet, do it ASAP! It&#8217;s too cute. just like herlol. Daughtry. Chris looks like he&#8217;s wearing Nicks Suit. Rihanna&#8217;s hair preplexes me but i love her dress. It does look like Nick J&#8217;s gross short hair. I mean, dapper, mature short hair.</span></p>
<p><span>9:40</span></p>
<p><span>The Fray, they are one of those bands that i always mean to buy their album because i like their singles a lot but i never remember to. I&#8217;m getting better at that though the shopping cart feature on iTunes is a god send for sure. kind like transformers&#8230;sorry clerks reference. if you haven&#8217;t seen that movie. do it!  But back to the AMA&#8217;s this is actually not my favorite song. it&#8217;s just not that grand. Enrique is spicy hot. and i love jordin sparks! boys, you look sharp. nick you&#8217;re hairs a little weird please grow it out, and joe please fall. Jimmy, kanye&#8217;s gonna beat you up. Beyonce is so flipping fierce. seriously. i love this song, but the camera angles are weird, it looks like its on a delay or something. her fierce band is great too.</span></p>
<p><span>10:00 </span></p>
<p><span>Go Alicia, girl wins again! I really her eye make up too! its all silvery. I love demi, she&#8217;s too cute. and now the boys, i&#8217;m mad joe didn&#8217;t fall. it would have been a funny running gag, like choreograph a knee slide. oh no! my mom is making me turn off the computer. boo having to be controlled by my mom. but on one last note&#8230;wow pcd. stripper poles?! really?!<br />
</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>so i (torrey) went on retreat yesterday and today, and they gave us these little papers on our way out with kinda a &#8220;reflection&#8221; on them or whatever. anyway, i looked at them and it actually kind of makes sense. you should take a look. i&#8217;ll leave out the religious ones but here they are:</p>
<p><strong>don&#8217;t hold back.</strong> act for what you believe is right.</p>
<p><strong>care about other people-</strong> there is no better way to develop a positive attitude than by doing to others as you would have them to you.</p>
<p><strong>improve yourself</strong> by keeping open-minded about new ideas- don&#8217;t fight change.</p>
<p><strong>in conversations</strong> be realistically hopeful. suggest solutions to problems rather than complaining about them.</p>
<p><strong>letter writing</strong>- a written word of praise stimulates a greater sense of personal responsibility. give commendations for a job well done.</p>
<p><strong>on the phone</strong> give compliments. help others see the bright side.</p>
<p><strong>keep everyone informed</strong>- good communication at home is essential to good relations and a happy family life.</p>
<p><strong>be punctual</strong>- it&#8217;s a sign of courtesy and respect.</p>
<p><strong>try to be cheerful</strong> even if you don&#8217;t feel like it. nobody likes a sourpuss. (yeah, it legit said sourpuss. but you have to admit, good rule.)</p>
<p><strong>use polite words</strong> like please, thank you, may i, do you mind, and may i help you.</p>
<p><strong>practice patience</strong>- some things take time. don&#8217;t rush them.</p>
<p><strong>give credit</strong>- encourage everyone at home with sincere praise; acknowledge each one&#8217;s contribution to the common good.</p>
<p><strong>be dependable</strong>- that&#8217;s the keystone to success. get your work done, with a smile. (number one i&#8217;m working on.)</p>
<p><strong>take pride in your work.</strong> basic satisfaction can be yours in any job if you do it well.</p>
<p><strong>respect the rights</strong> of others.</p>
<p><strong>study hard</strong>- knowledge is important.</p>
<p><strong>be enthusiastic</strong>- let your light shine, be joyful as well.</p>
<p><strong>be considerate</strong>- help others do their job by respecting their efforts and encouraging them to perservere.</p>
<p>so yeah. think about those.<br />
who knows, i&#8217;m just feeling thoughtful today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>howdy everyone</p>
<p>no, i&#8217;m not from texas, obviously, but anway! this is katy this time, i figured i needed to post an anecdote or an intro or something just so its more than just torrey&#8217;s lonely post down there! well i&#8217;m katy, torrey basically shares my brain. but i also have the ability to think for myself. this blog, is going to be entertaining i can almost guarantee it. so my first pop culture blurb for this, has to do, with the death of a dear, dear influence of my life. TRL died yesterday. It gave it&#8217;s last countdown, and carson signed off for the last time. A part of our culture is gone for now, though it will hopefully find some sort of revival. i am definitely in mourning though. so when people actually look at this, i&#8217;m gonna ask you to share a thought or a memory of TRL. i remember, the first music video i ever saw, was a No Doubt video when i was about seven, so a year after the show started. and i was so intrigued by MTV even though i wasn&#8217;t allowed to watch it so i snuck it on while my mom was doing something with my then four year old little brother. but yes thats my story.</p>
<p>and i had a good comeback today</p>
<p>a good friend of both torrey and i&#8217;s, lets call him D, failed a test recently. you may be wondering why this is significant? well, D failed, with a cheat sheet hidden between his legs. of course, i took the opportunity to make a sexual joke. and it was something along the lines of &#8220;you just aren&#8217;t good with things in between your legs dude!&#8221;</p>
<p>so yes thats my story</p>
<p>i&#8217;m done for tonight have a fan-freaking-tastic night</p>

<p>anything. gossip, music, places, or clothes we&#8217;re into, celebs, really funny that&#8217;s what she said jokes, ramblings, maybe you could even talk to us about what&#8217;s going on with you? yeah. you name it, it&#8217;s here. or, will be. and i&#8217;ll probably be making a lyric site too and linking it to this. just because the layouts of most lyric websites piss me off. yup yup. so mainly this is for entertainment. hope we bring some funnies to your day.</p>
<p>that is all.<br />
