I've had it!
I have decided that there is no way on God's green Earth that I am doing this interview. They couldn't bribe me with wild horses to get on TV and talk like some baka who thinks they know everything there is to know about anime. Not happening, not in my lifetime.
I hate publicity. I wonder why I even write fanfics. I think I'm going to die every time I perform on stage alone. All I wanted this summer was some time to myself, and just because I'm taking a workshop on TV productions, which I had been told would be working the equipment and the like, I got dragged into doing an interview on anime and Japanese culture. Like I even know much about either! Well, I know a lot about anime, but there's a lot I don't know, too.
I decided this when I was told the clips should only take up about two minutes total. I had been planning on having several clips a few seconds each, but apparently I was supposed to have two or three clips about a minute long each. The deadline is tomorrow at ten AM. I cannot do this. I have spent almost all of my waking hours today planning out and finding the short clips I wanted to use, and now I have to rework the whole thing to accomodate two big clips.
I'm calling my grandmother and telling her that I refuse to do this. If it means not coming to these things anymore, I don't give. I will not do an interview, no matter how much they coax and prod and encourage. I can imagine her now, "But you know a lot about this stuff, go on up there. It's OK, you're just a kid, they don't expect much of you. The other kids went in front of the camera." And then the director, God no. "Well, we were planning on having this interview take up a lot of this space, and I don't know what we're going to do now." Trying to make me feel guilty, eh? Well, for once it's not working. I was never asked my opinion on this, just told one day I would be having a little talk about this stuff. Shove it. Deadlines are for school, call me again in two weeks.
Yes, I am angry. Very angry. Mostly because I don't think I can do this anymore. I just can't.
Thanks for your time to let me vent, it means the world to me. *sigh* Anyone want a Meiji fruit candy?
