There was once when my college was engulfed in chaos (principal election scandal) where many reporters from different TV medias came to catch the action. Some of them got pass me when I was just in front of them! (I was hoping that they’ll interview me).
I’ve tried my best to get their attention, I pretend to react as panic as I could, Talk loudly, act like I know everything about the situation while talking to my friends, etc anything to be the center of attention but they ignore me! In the end they interviewed some lecturer and other people.
I think that was so unfair (I also have told my entire family that I’ll be on TV. Oh! I can’t bare the embarrassment!). I still think they’re racists since I’m from minority race and many people are racists in my country. I can’t believe my irresistible charm and attractiveness have failed me at that time.
In fact I even ask how to get their attention in fluther. In the end I moved on, knowing that I’m far too good to be interviewed by a bunch of local reporters from some silly channels (narcissism is better than disappointment anyway), and hoping that someday I have a chance to appear on TV again, for real.
