I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!!

Camp kicked ass in so many ways.  This was the best summer ever, hands down.  Incedentally, none of you were there.

The show we did was Grease.  I was Rizzo, and therefore awesome.  About half of my part got cut out because that whole "I think I'm pregnant" seems to be inapropriate for lil'uns.  Which means that, throughout the script were pages with huge black X's all over them.  Also, the Sandra Dee song got edited.  And they gave me this funny red jumper that said "RIZZO" on it in case I forgot for some reason.  And the guy who was Danny was fattish, and had to wear this really tight leather jacket.  And Greased Lightning was made out of cardboard which was first found in the Jurrassic. 

This year we got to be cheiftains, which was just awesome beyond all words.  every year, there's a tribal war, and the Upper Seniors get to lead the tribes.  They gave us a binder with all this behind hte scenes crap in it and a shirt that says "Cheiftain" on it.  I was on Navajo, which gets the second-best cheers and wears white.  I spent most of my time painting the tribal plaque.  It was awesome.  Basically, we embarassed the other plaques.  We gave them permanent self-esteem issues.

I spent the whole month talking to English people, which kicked ass.  On a daily basis, I talked to two counselors who lived in my bunk, the director of Grease, several lifeguards, one of the ski boat drivers, the archery person, the soccer guy, the two Upper Senior Boy counselors who were English, one of whom was called Shrek, the other Theater person, and one of the Trekkies.  Not to mention all the Scots, Aussies, New Zealanders and Canadians.  I've started saying queue, bin, rubbish, crisps and chips.  I know what a Jordie is.  And a Scouser.  And EXACTLY what haggis is made out of.   And one of the brought two english flags with them to camp, and let me take one of them home with me.  So it's up in my room, opposite a pirate flag. 

The stuff I did:

Waterskiing-well, actually mostly wakeboarding now.  I checked off all the tricks for intermediate, and started wakeboarding on the last week of camp.  I'm close to being able to jump the wake, which is better than most people who started last year. 

Soccer- Or I should say football.  The soccer guy was happy all the time, and the average sentence out of his mouth went "Cheers, mate, nice shot, nice shot.  Just have to get your foot around the ball, mate, cheers"  And he was really, really good at soccer. 

Climbing- I love Trekkies!  Those are the people who belay you, and do the overnights and caving trips and stuff.  They're the craziest people ever.  Also, climbing rocks.  haha.

I'm sick of typing.  If you want pictures, ask, because I suck at HTML

Well, I just saw War of the Worlds, and all I have to say is: Wow.  This movie goes on for fucking ever.  I almost broke my kidneys waiting for that movie to end.  I was about to throw up from all the stupid loud sounds and "thrilling" effects being rammed down my throat to pass the hour in which absolutley no plot happened.  If I ever see a cute little blond scream at anything, I will dismember her.  This movie took way too long.

Also, around halfway throug, I realized something.  The aliens who invaded Earth are tripods.  They invaded in huge tripods that shoot lasers and moo.  Which means that some alien, somewhere, said to his buddies "You know what would be awesome?  If we invaded another planet in huge robots that look like us."  This is the equivelant of us building actual, functional gundams to invade people.

Basically, Earth was invaded by a deadly legion of geeks.

After about an hour of absolutley nothing, the story started to get interesting again, but it was too late.  Apparently, Speilberg is under the impression that the useless hour was used as an explanation of the inane reasoning behind the movie.  Even though the notion of having a pod buried in the ground for millions of years is stupid enough, there is one very pressing question on my mind.  What the hell were those veiney things?  Near the end, all these veins start showing up all over the place, and then wither and die without ever being explained.  Another thing that never gets explained: why are the aliens invading in the first place?  Oh, and how about this one: If the aliens are smart enough to plan a million-year invasion and obliterate the better part of the population in a few days, then why didn't they think to vaccinate themselves?  Here's a good one: Where has Speilberg's mind gone? 

Nothing was explained, especially the message.  The message that the book delivers is that humans have the right to live on Earth, and other people don't.  Basically, they have God on their side.  The dipshit probably realized that after they'd started filming and went "Oh crap, I can't have God in a scifi flick.  I'd better just bullshit my way through this." and did. 

Moral of the post: Speilberg, like the rest of Hollywood, is a fucktard who had lost creativity.

If you waved a little flag today, you are a facist.

Speaking of flags, how was your flag day?  This post is kind of late for that, but hey, patriotism runs 'round the clock.  Right?  Anyway, I really hope you enjoyed it, beacuse those flags were the last ones to die with dignity.  This is because congress is largely comprised of dickheads who are dodging this "responsibility" thing that people keep talking about.  Now that public flag burning is illegal, how are we going to get rid of flags?  The answer is simple: however the hell we like, as long as we don't look like terrorists.  So basically, in ten year's time, we will have American flags coming out of our asses.  It has come to the point that leaving a flag out in the rain has become an excuse for the FBI to exploit the patriot act and arrest a bunch of Palestinians.  What's interesting, is that this symbol that Congress cares enough about to stop its destruction has not yet been outlawed from merchendise.  Drop me a line on which is more disrespectful: burning a flag or wearing it on your fat ass.  I feel that my countrie's most basic ideals are better off burning with dignity than up someone's asscrack, personally. 

And it really is a symbol of some really good ideals.  If I knew HTML, I'd bold the "some" in that last sentence.  Freedom and equal oppurtunity kick ass.  If only there wasn't that "greedy bastard" thing to worry about.  But the flag represesnts those ideals as well as the people who tried to make them work.  That bit of cloth is carrying a lot.  Which is why it's traditionally been burnt when is gets old and moldy, because nobody wants to see their ideals rot.  So now that congress, in its infinite attempt to not do anything useful, has banned flag burning, the dipshits have made it so that the only people who can show the flag the respect it deserves are the people who hate its ideals the most.  Excellent job, dumbasses.  I shudder to think what they will do next to avoid anything important.

Disclaimer: I still hate the way America turned out, and recognise that the constitution had slaves down as a good idea. 

If you value me as a sane person, do not read this post.

MTV is destroying originality.  I'm talking specifically about the show MADE, where someone tries ot make a major change in their lives.  What do they want, you ask?  Does someone want to learn to play the guitar so that they can put their poetry into motion?  Does someone want to break the norm and do something really amazing that they will never be forgotten for?  The answer is a big, fat, smelly, malaria-laden NO.  The only people who want to change themselves are the originals, who have a personality that isn't prosthetic.  Nerd?  Don't worry! MTV will make you into a bullshit preppy asshole who will come and go and nobody will give a rat's ass.  Oops, I think you just flipped off your future.

Normally, I wouldn't even bother to post about a TV show, but I now feel personally insulted.  The next MADE is featuring a tomboy who wants to become a "girly girl" or "whore" as we common folk say.  That just crosses the line a bit.  There have been nerds who want to dance, and goths who want to learn to smile (they don't deserve it).  But this is turning an entire lifestyle inside out.  If I may, I would like to make a Nazi reference.  MTV is creating an Aryan nation.

I'm overreacting, and I don't give a crap.  I'm sick of people robbing originality from the people who think outside the box.  Mostly, I'm sick of asswipes in clothing stores giving me stupid looks when I buy clothes.  It is a well known fact that clothes affect behaviour.  That's why costumes are so important in theater.  I wear clothes that are comfortable, and don't make me want to sleep with strange people.  I do not want to be transformed into a fucktard by the clothes I wear, and I don't see why that comes as such a surprise.  Goths and Punks have specific stores where they can buy their lifestyles, but if someone trys to do something differen BURN THE FUCKING WITCH. 

If you read, thank you for listening, and I am deeply, deeply sorry.
