The Emperor of Ice-Cream, by Wallace Stevens


Call the roller of big cigars,
The muscular one, and bid him whip
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
As they are used to wear, and let the boys
Bring flowers in last month's newspapers.
Let be be finale of seem.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

Take from the dresser of deal,
Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet
On which she embroidered fantails once
And spread it so as to cover her face.
If her horny feet protrude, they come
To show how cold she is, and dumb.
Let the lamp affix its beam.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.
HMSwrecked: did i tell you i got gish on vinyl?
PeLo LoCo87: no ma'am, you did not
HMSwrecked: it's gorgeous.
HMSwrecked: even though i don't have a record player.
PeLo LoCo87: so have you not listened to it?
PeLo LoCo87: my brother has 3 I think
PeLo LoCo87: and I think they're all broken
HMSwrecked: no i haven't.
HMSwrecked: makes me sad. but it's so gorgeous.
PeLo LoCo87: one might work, actually
HMSwrecked: steal it!
PeLo LoCo87: you should come over tomorrow so we can try it out = )
HMSwrecked: haha that sounded dirty.
PeLo LoCo87: as it should

"Pretty Good Year" by Tori and deliciously unproductive afternoon naps. We've started Le Petit Prince a francais et je suis très passionate. Mais, j'ai voulu avoir moins gens dans ma classe, parce-que c'est beaucoup des personnes qui ne connaient rien de la literature. Je ne sais pas pourquoi quelqu'un n'aime pas lire. Mais, il est d'accord, parce-que j'ai christa [et Tori], et elle est toute que quelqu'u peut vouloir dans une amie. Chaque jours je fais les reves que nous sommes ensembles, encore, et que nous pouvons faire quelque chose que nous voyons avec leurs temp. Je veux etre libré de mon école. oui, il n'est pas ca mal, et je suis reconnaisant pour m'education. Mais je désire avoir quelque chose plus en ma vie.
Still, pretty good year

due to complaints, here is the translation of the above paragraphe:

"Pretty Good Year" by Tori and deliciously unproductive afternoon naps. We've started The Little Prince and I'm very excited. but, I wanted to have less people in my class, because there are many people who don't know anything about literature. I don't know why anyone wouldn't like to read. But, it's okay, because I have Christa [and Tori], and she is all that anyone could want in a friend. Every day I have dreams that we're together, again,a nd that we can do anything we want with our time. I want to be free from my school. yes, it isn't that bad, and i'm thankful for my education. but i ache to have something more in my life.
Still, pretty good year

Soo Mia and I dressed up lookin super-fine....went to super-lame star search and the circuit and the galleria. the whole time i was just wanting to go home--not for lack of good company, but nowhere we went was really hoppin', if you know what I mean. We came home at 10 or so after picking up Rebel Without A Cause and gave JD his birthday cake with twenty-three candles on it [none paper, thanks so much--but one was upside down]. She left at eleven or so, at which time Mander came over to spend the night. We stayed up muchos late talking with the boys and falling asleep in our pizza. I had a good time all around. Oh yes, and today we were en route to market and ended up bumming around the galleria again. It was better this time around, because I was wearing pants and wasn't so girlish self-concious about my body. I'm so stupey sometimes. And we talked about how wierd it is to become what we daydreamed about being as little girls [16 year olds who can DRIVE, and carry purses, and look uber-hot while strutting through the mall] and how it still has a little bit of glamour in it.

After momma's trip to Borders, our family is now the proud owner[s?] of Shadow Puppets and a few short stories and the novella of Ender's Game and I'm already more than halfway done and it's wonderful. Mmmm good stuff.

ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmyGOSH. I loved it so much. I can't even put it into words. I felt like such a country bumpkin at first, but by the time we had walked to dinner [after being in the city for about an hour] I didn't care and wanted to live in New York and strut down the streets with the best. It was really fantastic. As for Phantom, I couldn't have asked for more. The Phantom's voice was so powerful. Christine [Kristine?] wasn't Sarah Brightman, but she was wonderful and I loved it so much and I'm so happy that I had forgotten the ending and I cried and nightdreamed the whole way home and I'm running on three hours of sleep and I've been wearing these clothes for two days but it was worth it and more. Ah. No words for it. I wish you could've been there, and I got you a playbill, and I will get you one next time and you should've heard the music, we could've ascended, hand-in-hand.

Going to a formal tonight instead of a show. Decisions decisions.

Letters to Cleo and half-naked freshly-groomed girls right now.
Be my co-pilot, come be in my dream, you look so beautiful there....

I'm wearing the dress I wore to my dad's wedding--the enormous green one. I've lost weight since last year. Lost shape, anyways, and that's all I measure anyways. =)

someone give me an answer.
Just got really depressed randomly. Slash reading depressing posts on other people's blogs and xangas and various online journals and having to decide how long I want to stay at dad's this weekend. Ah this keeps getting more and more complicated.

Today I took frozen peaches from the cafeteria home in my lunchbox with a stolen spoon and ate them on my bed while listening to Sleater Kinney.

I had like twelve dreams last night. In the first, I was talking to b. doug online only to leave and go to another dream and a darkness concert where i found roxie across the dance floor, and proceeded to do front hand-springs amidst the moshing kids only to land with my feet on her husband/kyle's shoulders and stand up like that. Then I turned, and found out that "The Darkness" was merely a black curtain with the music playing behind it. The third was about orcs attacking my house in droves, led by Melissa Kreschmer, who looked very pretty, and spending a long time trying to find a place to hide, or at least something to fight with, and it ended with us on my parents' balcony with orcs running around underneath. I woke up when they finally broke through the glass doors, and I was staring at my closet and was wondering if I could hide Ali up there and if they'd think to look for her there. Then I looked at the clock and realized it was time to get up for Seminary. So I was scuzzy today and didn't shower and my hair has leftover wax in it from yesterday.

I have lots of things to do for New Beginings tonight and I'm the worst person in the whole wide world and such a slacker. I was supposed to bring in clothes that I've made, and I realized that Alex has one of the shirts and the rest I haven't really made from scratch, I've just altered, except for the blue skirt. Ack. By the way, elle, I want that shirt back. Pronto. Smack smack.

Listening to Flogging Molly and the insanely long guitar solo of Black Friday Rule.

I got woken up last night at like ten by bro. buerger and we watched ER with my mom and talked about Lord Foul's Bane. ER was really good, too. And he was right, I don't hate my hair now that I've been styling it. I used lots o' hairspray and teasing yesterday so it got all BAM and sticky outy.

Michelle's viewing is tonight. So that'll be hard, but I'm really looking forward to seeing the Gordys. I hate how once I deal with a problem I expect myself to be fixed and all better. Because I don't really want to cry tonight, or tomorrow, and I doubt that'll happen because mom and I were talking about it on the way home the other night and I got all teary-eyed. Sigh.

Snow day, tho. Slash rain day.

I went out with Mander yesterday. We went to Salvation Army and I got the coolest shirt. It's long-sleeved and white with red polka dots. I also got this dreamy coat that's knee-legnth and blue. I'm such a shopaholic. Plus we got choclate and brought it to Mia. I haven't eaten yet, except for that Milky Way Midnight...ohh man that was good.

I hate how I write so lackadasically [word?] because I can type almost as fast as I think. It all comes out in one big jumble.

for i am the king and shall long may i reign

Today sucked. As expected. Buergers came over, though, and that was fun, even if they were only here for two seconds. I couldn't find the OC [cause i watch it now--come join us on the bandwagon!] But I think I'm getting the stomach flu. Which is really terrible. Kyle developed new muscles from throwing up. And I haven't thrown up in like two years. So it's that or ....well, ask roxie. she seems to specialize in things of that nature. or BRANDON ARTHUR who we talk about, huh, kyle?

Punkyelhsa: J slash K!
HerSilentStars: ell oh ell!
HerSilentStars: stupid technology/pop culture.
Punkyelhsa: WE STARTED THE REVOLUTION!!!!
Punkyelhsa: as eleven year olds.

Anyone remember the good ole ICQ? Isn't that where we met Hong? Oh, no, it was Mark [c?].

Nonetheless. Good times.

Had a good time on the phone with roxie tonight. Watched I Love the 80s! (STRIKES BACK!) together, slash I ignored her as I flipped channels. She makes me laugh muchos.

Still hate my hair. Bro. Buerger says that I'll like it within a few days, but as is, I just kinda want to vommit on it. So maybe I'll try that, since I'm getting the stomach flu anyways, and can't use the pomeade effectively.
Yes, I know, I was being brave, and I was taking a risk and last time I really loved it and ....

i hate my haircut. stupid, trivial, tell me about it. only before i could hide behind it somewhat, and now i have le fringe and it doesn't cover my forehead, and it's such an all-or-nothing attitude, and i feel naked and boyish. my face feels too wide and my head just keeps getting bigger every time i glance at a mirror. only i don't glance. i pour over them, trying ot fix my risk-taking.
