Quite a few developments recently… hence: silence.
ANYHOW:
Dear Dairy *cross out “Dairy” * Diary…
So my parents invited over a visitor from Poland… A female, circa 24 (born the same exact day as me)…parental intentions: unclear, misty, convoluted… for period of 3 weeks…
the only good part is that my brother left for Spain vacating his room for a while, so at least she has not been put into my room…
Now, with about a month left to my GREs and two months before graduate school admission deadlines shpakoo was forced to DRIVE down to Florida, and then DRIVE UP to Niagara Falls…
Florida was ok… though 'tis already removed from my brain and into the ever growing “repressed” pile of memories from “hells”, “golden cages”, “over-care”, video-camera frenzies and other events, accompanying all other family getaways…
Niagara (the female and I, only) was ok… cloudless sky, warmth, sun, rainbows,
all the retired people strolling around there were smiling to us, and were offering to take pictures of both of me and my female-friend…
God only knows what they were thinking…
I wonder what would be their reaction if, instead, I was with a guy…lol
considering that I was after 2 hours of sleep after we returned home from Florida, 8 hours of driving up north (without falling asleep behind the wheel) and another 8-9 hours of walking around Niagara park and gift shopping, (hunting for the perfect postcards,) I quickly fell asleep the first night around 9 PM and otherwise don't remember much from that night in the hotel lol…
The next day focused on a continuation of trying to convince my friend to ride the freakin maid of the mist , which looked “dangerous” to her when she was looking at it from above the day before…on the second day the weather also turned slightly crappier… (just some random clouds) which also brought an aura of danger and unapproachability to the maid of the mist rides… I finally snapped and said that I didn't drive 8 hours to sit on the edge of the waterfall and complain how dangerous the boat looks, and that I'm going whether she likes it or not… then, reluctantly, she followed… and loved it…
we got back home around 2am last night after countless and prolonged stops at the various rest areas in search for more of the perfect postcards…and the perfect trucks to photograph oneself at…
I'm REALLY glad to be back home or, rather, at the lab =)
PS. she was sleeping in the car most of the time, so I was the driver, navigateur and entertainer for myself the whole time with the exception of a couple of random utterances and a beginning of a conversation (towards the end of our return) in which I was instructed that she likes to listen to stories somebody else tells her (implying that I also should entertain her…)
*growl*
I AM THE QUEEN HERE AND I WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY COMPETITION !!!

…or as I’d like to call it “a plot-less babble about mediocre people” is yet another proof of how ignorance and stupidity underneath the mighty aegis of MTV’s logo can become, respectively, a “story” and a “plot” …
Whomever conceived the characterless characters of Napoleon, Pedro and that chick whose name escapes me at the moment, but she wore her hair tied in an awkward ponytail coming out of a place on her head where an ear should be… well, whomever did conceive these… creatures… had about as much insight into human nature, into nature of high school geekdom and into writing stories in general as a freakin’ hair ball that my cat just threw up on the carpet…
Then again I have yet to have gone to the Gem State to see with my eyes unclouded by HATE FOR THAT EXCUSE FOR A MOVIE and respond to an overwhelming me at the moment question: What… the fuck?
Another point for you America… Because only in America it is possible for a piece of SHIT like that to surface, and smear itself all over the silver screen of public movie theatres… Only in America will the “soccer moms” rent a bus and drive all neighborhood kids (ages 6-13) to see this… MISTIFICATION for a brainwash !!!
Well… if I picked up bits and pieces of coherency from amongst the shitload of meaningless, prolonged indefinitely dialogs, the point (? or should I write point-LESS) of the movie would be that high school students, the future of America (sic) are dumb enough to fall for a guy who apparently knows some slick disco movies ( the 3 minutes of the movie actually worth seeing ) when selecting a (class) president, someone who has no plan, barely speaks English, and is dumb enough to shave his head cuz he’s feeling hot ( do I smell a distant George “dubyah” BUSH analogy? if so it is NOT articulated LOUD enough ! )
The message is loud and clear, kindda like in Celine Dion’s song “Love comes to those who believe it, and that’s the way it is”… Apparently no matter how dorky, how big a geek, another words… no matter how much of a looser one is, one is ALWAYS bound to get a woman sooner or later. In some cases one is bound to find a transvestite-mtf, capable of attaching a shadow of a personality to one’s otherwise pointless appearance in the movie…
So, in conclusion for all you geeks and dorks suffering through high school reigns of dumbfuck-jocks and their braindead-cheerleaders, while you will NEVER be as cool as the mainstream and cool high school people, you will get a mediocre break at the right time to pursue your un cool life…
I found this movie to be offensive in its content of ridiculous stereotypes… I guess as a once-a-foreign-exchange-student in an American high school, collectively with other “dumb foreign exchange students” we were portrayed as Pedro
A true disgrace to the craft of cinematography…
I guess this truly is a country where everybody gets a chance, even the stupid fucks responsible for Napoleon Dynamite… what’s much creepier though is the fuckt how many movie-going-Americans (especially the soccer moms and their innocent, now brain-dead children) fell for it….
Congratulations MTV, you’ve proven once again that the pop-culture you are trying to create has nothing to do with style, sense nor culture 🙂
On a scale of 1 through 10 I gave it a NEGATIVE 2004 !!!

P. S.
can anyone point me to which state is the GEM STATE ? American High school Geography left me somewhat deficient in the matters of the location of some of the United states …
