Every semester has a doom day. What have I ever done to Thursday?

[aruan]

Journalism guy distinctly did not like my article. To the point of no credit didn't like. Personally, I'm affronted, and shall take it up with His Narrowmindedness over e-mail.

Reporting is still a hoot. Professor Foley is fantastically entertaining. I sat next to my high school senior class' student body president. She waved me over, not that we've ever said more than three words to each other. Perhaps even in total. But she's nice, she's gripy about her class, too, and we passed the five minutes before class began splendidly. High school politics is even worse crap than the real stuff.

I'm updating and sundry, but apparently what I should really be doing is writing Joey/Lance using the words calendar, clock, and painting. This sounds suspiciously like the platform for a Justin-planned/JC-orchestrated outing involving storyboarded three-year plans.

The (alleged) new JC song lyrics? Whether or not it should come to pass that it's really his doing, my only comment will be to ask where he got his inspiration. Well, if they let me have two, I'd like to know why it's in the first person.

Four hours of Statistics to cram in before 6:15. *kicks DHNet*

What new song lyrics, and what's your Journalism prof's problem?

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

New lyrics, though the site also has an entirely Spanish song, and unless he's been making marketable use of his spare time, I'd take all this with a healthy heaping of salt.

Hooker in a Bottle (yeah, this is why I qualified it, stay with me, it gets much, much worse. Caps, apostrophes, and the proper spelling of 'corner' are all mine, because I couldn't stand looking at the original writeup. Allusions, et al have not been altered, though I really believe the only guilty one here is whoever's pulling this.)

I'ma ho
I'ma hooooooooooo
Yes I am, baby, I wear skimpy clothing it's very tight
I work all hours of the night
Waiting for someone to pay me
You've proabably seen me everywhere
I dont even wear clean underwear
My pimp doesn't care (doesn't care)
I'ma hooooooooooooooooooooo
My pimp says work bitch
Hoooooooooooooooooo
(Uh) But my heart is sayin' no
If you wanna freak with me baby there's
a price to pay I'ma hooker on the corner
Look at my teeth decay
If you wanna be with me baby you have got to see
You can get a case of shingles and a
Bad STD I'ma hooker on the corner baby
My pimp says I'm fat and lazy I'ma hooker on the
corner baby come come come on and pick me up

Yeah, so that.

I can only assume the article wasn't local enough for him. It was current, it was entertaining, it had two sources, it was more than two pages long. The fact that I wrote it about something Dragon*Con related but wasn't actually there for it bothers me none. Maybe my ethics will tighten up when I take that class. ;)

Oh, I didn't even give those lyrics the time of day. If those have any basis in reality, I'll kiss Justin's toes.

WhatEVER.

Sorry about the Journalism thing, though; that sucks.

Local schmocal. What the hell ever, yo. Fandom's local to *everywhere*. Heh. Seriously, I'll come kick some ass, because I think you did an amazing job with the interview -- rolled with the punches and had insightful questions and everything. Silly professor.

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Seriously man. Entirely my argument. I'm sure there were people from UF there, but they weren't half as cool, and if this event wasn't better than some lame local pie-eating contest then I'll kiss Freddy and like it.

Euw. Maybe not. But you get my point. And thank you, baby. The fact remains that you were more than wonderful with your responses, so big props one more time to you on that.

Erm, no credit? Like, how can he do that if it's an article? I mean, it still meets assignment criteria. Geez. Was it worth a lot? Can we do a write-in campaign to protest? ;-)

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Yeah, unfortunately if he deems that your story isn't newsworthy or legitimate, whatever that means, then he can decline to give you any credit at all. Doesn't matter that it meets assignment criteria. The journalism department runs a tight ship, but he really had no right to not give me credit. This issue has definitely not been dropped, not as far as I'm concerned.

Can we do a write-in campaign to protest?

No, but I do love you for suggesting it. *mwah*
