This week’s episode was ugly. I got screwed, Alex looked bad, and Adam looked like a little bitch. Of course when it comes to what i had to do about the humor column I regret nothing. I was promised the first two issues and I didn’t get them. I’ve heard some people ask why should I get a column at all, I’m not an editor. While it’s valid to say that, I guess the back story should clear up doubts.
Last year I wrote my first ever column, of course a humorous one. Sure enough, that column goes on to win an FSPA all-state column award. I go to Ms. Weiss and ask for a monthly humor, she say thats a great idea but you should go ask if a majority of editorsare okay with it too. They agree. So great, I think the next year I will get the monthly column.
Summer rolls on , and I get a phone call from Giana one morning saying I should go to the editor’s meeting because they might be scrapping the humor column. So I go there is a big argument, but most of the editors defend my humor column, and the two issue agreement is struck.
Giving Amanda the column in the first was a mistake, but to many people especially Giana, Cassia, and Charesse fought harrd for me to keep the column just for it to be given away. Besides at this point I’ve been screwed enough, I felt no sympathy for taking back my column from Amanda, after all her Journalism career has been fabulous, and although mine hass been pretty good too, I could have used a boost more than her.
Sure enough in the end I got screwed, but there’s been worse things to happen, I just wish Alex would have stepped up for me, but it doesn’t matter, Alex and I are still cool, and I got write two more columns, each of them are really good, and I wrote snother for a magazing the Circuit did for the first time ever, called The Outlet. Again this year I won an FSPA all-state collumn award, I feel solidifying the fact I’m pretty good at writing columns.
As for the way my good friends Giana and Trevor have been portrayed thus far, it’s not that they don’y feel that way about Amanda, it’s hard to explain but MTV does a poor job showing why they feel the way they do. You dont’ see thier point of veiwand you don’t really get to see the side of Amanda that drives everyone crazy. On top of that Amanda is always shown at home talking about how bad she feels about herself at home, drawing sympathy from the audience while Trevor and Gianaare only shown bitching, and if thy’re vision of Amanda was shown (annoying, controlling, attention thirsty) and then they got to speak thier two cents this would be a whole different show, and people would love Trev and G and hate Amanda. Unfortunatley thier is no way for this show to display everyone’s point of view, and the point of view they constantly show is Amanda’s, leaving Trevor and Giana looking like bastards, which reall thier not.
Any ways the show was pretty good this week, and in the real newspaper class room we just finished our last deadline, and as usual, Adam was screaming, Amanda was controlling and annoying, Giana was pissed at her, Trevor was flat out pissed because his double truck got messed with, Alex did a killer job, and Cassia did a great job too.
Oy, that was this week and I’m tired from typing, feel free to comment and give your two cents
