ah what a day yesterday. early acceptance letters were due from harvard, brown, smith, and lots of other fine universities. though i myself haven't applied early, ALL of my closest friends did, and it was nerve wracking as fuck for me to find out with them. some of the news was great, some sucked big time, and i think the harvard admissions people were on crack when they decided who to reject, but thats just me. the whole college process is a mess, and i probably won't be able to afford it anyways.

For some reason, my mind confuses the meaning of "reading day" from meaning "day which you may stay home and study your little booty off so that you won't get a C+ in math" to meaning "ahhh, i can sleep till 12 and watch movies all day."

This is going to prove problematic if I want to get into college. Hmmm.

I was just remembering yesterday while watching Harry Potter, I was talking to my friends about how some people think Snape is an incredibly attractive, if misunderstood, man. After this, everytime Snape walked his greasy ass onstage, my friend would turn to me and say "hot damn" and drool on my coat. Then I saw the dog, Fang, and I was like "awww how cute" and she was like "hot damn," and she just kept saying it to every character. It was funny. You had to be there.

Oh and someone was telling me how this girl in my class was writing her creative writing assignment while on percoset (which was perscribed--not illegal drug use) and how it started out fine, but after a while, it just got wierder and wierder until her last story went something like this "there was this guy, and he had this hat. It was a heinous hat. I mean, this hat was heinous. Really heinous. Everytime his friends saw him, they would be like "man, what a heinous hat." So one day, he loses his hat, and he thinks to himself "thats ok, it was heinous anyway." that was the end of the story. Man, I wish I could write like that.

Long time, no write. I've been doing mad social life type things like buying people birthday presents, going to a "coffee house" at an all-boys school, and seeing Harry Potter again. Yeah, good times. Umm, so, like, boys in bands are a totally wonderful thing. Both my best friends want to marry guitarists (yeah, phallic extensions, how freudian) but I want to marry a drummer. I mean, how totally HOT is it to watch a drummer? Ahhh, musicians rock my world. If i had any 'cool' music talent (apart from piano, which isn't bandworthy these days) I'd want to be in a band. Maybe I'll learn how to play the drums. Oh, well, its something to aspire to. Mid-years are coming up this week, which mean's I'm a busy little bee these days. So I'm posting a link that's funny and relaxing.

Wonderful Christmas Concert at my school today. The Senior Small Chorus (otherwise known as the creme de la creme) sang "All I want for Christmas is You", and all of us Seniors in the audience were BLOWN away. The lead singer is named Jackie, and forever on I will refer to that song as the Jackie-is-god song. Plus, a version of "Oh Holy Night" which is my FAV carol which they combigned with our graduation recessional music (Bach) which made all of us cry. Graduation isn't that far away, despite what most people say. Ahh, Christmas. I love Christmas.

Its good to be neuter.I want to have meaningless legs.There are things unbearable.One can evade them a long time.Then you die.

The oceans remind me of your green room.There are things unbearable.Scorn, princes, this little size of dying.

My personal poetry is a failure. I do not want to be a person. I want to be unbearable. Lover to lover, the greenness of love. Cool, cooling.

Earth bears no such plant. Who does not end up a female impersonator? Drink all the sex there is. Still die.

I tempt you. I blush. There are things unbearable. Legs, alas, legs die.

A conversation I had today went like this

I saw a friend walking towards me, and she gave me a 'tough girl' look. So i said
"bring it!"
and she walked into me very gently, sending me kareening off a wall.
"Its not very hard to bring it to me, is it?" I said.
"Me either. We're both pussies." said she.

That pretty much about sums it up for me. . .

"So we reinterpret or even distort the character. He doesn't have oily hair and a hooked nose — it's really just sort of messy hair and a noble, aquiline nose. After all, the description is probably from Harry's perspective, and an eleven-year-old boy can't be expected to appreciate Snape's unconventional beauty. And the casting of Rickman hasn't done much to discourage Snape-obsessives from seeing their flawed hero as a barely-disguised hunk." (quote from here)

Why, if there is an easy way to do something, do my friends and I always chose NOT to take it? Getting to Starbucks for a mint hot chocolate can be such an ORDEAL these dayzz, I mean jeez. Calculating tips--also not something we can do. I always end up owing somebody some money, but thats a whole nother issue. Today we end up driving around in circles around a rotary, trying to figure out which way to go. That and I hitched a ride in a windstar for about 20 feet. Whee, that was fun. I don't know why we can't be perfectly respectable people and just go to a concert, get a coffee, and go home without being so strenuous about it. Nahh. Its more fun this way. . .

Allison, your celebrity look is the Romantic Look! (thanks, emode.com)

With the eyes of a Botticelli and the smile of a DaVinci, you're the latest embodiment of the Romantic Look. It's your fascinating combo of dreamy innocence and smoldering desire that always keeps 'em guessing. Your tender, inner nature comes out in the soft colors and flowing fabrics of your clothes. But just because you can pull off the pastel eye shadows, pouty glossed lips, and the wide-eyed look of a kitten, everyone knows that you're no angel. Once you slip into something sexy for the evening and dab a little fragrance behind the ear, you're capable of just about anything. Mysterious as a cat, you share the same romantic allure as Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, and Andie MacDowell. And just like them, your sincere, inner beauty always manages to shine just as brightly as your striking appearance.

2001-12-02T14:23:00.000-05:00

The most anyone has ever called me, besides Allie, which is what everyone calls me, is that my best friend pronounces my name as if it were in spanish, which sounds awful--try "ayeesun" or just "ayee" grrr. Haha, tho, my name means "exalted nature" yeah, that really describes me to a t. . .

On nights like this
When the world's a bit amiss
And the lights go down
Across the trailer park.
I get down
I feel had
I feel in the verge of going mad
And then it's time to punch the clock.
I put on some make-up,
And turn up the tape deck,
And pull the wig down on my head.
Suddenly I'm Miss Midwest Midnight Checkout Queen,
Until I head home
And I put myself to bed.

I look back on where I'm from,
Look at the woman I've become,
And the strangest things
seem suddenly routine.
I look up from my Vermouth on the rocks,
A gift-wrapped wig still in the box
Of towering velveteen.
I put on some make-up,
And some LaVern Baker,
And pull the wig down from the shelf.
Suddenly I'm Miss Beehive 1963,
Until I wake up
And I turn back to myself.

Some girls they have natural ease.
They wear it any way they please,
With their French flip curls
And perfumed magazines.
Wear it up,
Let it down.
This is the best wig that I've found
To be the best you've ever seen.

Right. . .I didn't write this. John Cameron Mitchell wrote this. I WISH i wrote this. Yeah, like theres a chance in HELL.

Ah, a night of obscure movies. I'm a romantic at heart, which really really hurts for someone with a dirth of romance in their life. Watching romantic movies, therefore, is both satisfying and amazingly amazingly painful. My favorite romantic movie? Anna and the King. My favorite romantic book? Corelli's Mandolin. Both are excellent, one in cinamatography and the other in literary style. Both make me cry, though thats not hard.

Ausencia

Apenas te he dejado,
vas en mí, cristalina
o temblorosa,
o inquieta, herida por mí mismo
o colmada de amor, como cuando tus ojos
se cierran sobre el don de la vida
que sin cesar te entrego.

Amor mío,
nos hemos encontrado
sedientos y nos hemos
bebido toda el agua y la sangre,
nos encontramos
con hambre
y nos mordimos
como el fuego muerde,
dejándonos heridas.

Pero espérame,
guárdame tu dulzura.
Yo te daré también
una rosa.

Poetry makes the world go round. Someone once postulated that poetry is NOT a luxury. I couldn't agree more. In fact, if you add literature, art, and philosophy, I'd say that pretty much wraps it up for society. TV is great, (I mean come on, its not like I'm an intellectual snob) and music is a pleasure, and if I had to go one day without my daily comics I would crawl into a hole, but poetry and art and I have a special thing going. We're close.

If you want to know the origin of the title of this journal--oh hell, why don't I just get it over with. I'm sorry to subject you to this, but I just have to:

favorites:

Movies: Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Waking Life

Poets: Pablo Neruda, Wallace Stevens

Authors: (oh jeez) Douglas Adams, Gerald Durrell, Hunter S. Thompson, Haruki Marukami (millions more)

Artists: Salvador Dali, Aaron Jasinski, Diane Arbus, Sally Mann

Cartoons: (this can be an art form too, you know) www.sinfest.net, kapolo.syste.net, jdillon.net

Music: almost everything including: christmas carols, debussy, rachmaninov, the beatles, counting crows, cake, coldplay, lifehouse, radiohead, most good oldies, trip-hop. Excluding country. As much as I try, I've never found a country song I like. Sorry.

Umm, I can't think of more favorites now, but if you've never tried or heard of these things, please please take my word on it. They're amazing. Especially Aaron Jasinski who no one has ever heard of and Hedwig and the Angry Inch which is a glam rock musical/movie which is magical and pretty much ignored by the media. Coming from a completely un-glam rock sort of girl, this is saying something.

This page won't always be like this, this is just something by way of an introduction. I'm planning on posting some poetry which I would love some form of feedback on, and I'm going to have a lot of information up here about stuff that I love in the poery, photography, music, and indie movie world. Oh yeah, and my world too. . .

I never explained my title: There's a song in Hedwig called "wicked little town" and I wanted to show my support. Naming an online journal "wicked little town" is silly, so I modified it. Sorry John Cameron Mitchell.

Oh yeah, and Hunter Thompson rocks my world. Thats all.
