GLEEK OUT!!

Ok, so before anyone says "What are you doing up?!" Well, my grandparents are leaving for Hawaii in the morning and I am going with my parents to the airport to pick up their car and ride home with my mom. The easiest solution in my mind was to, therefore, stay up all night.  I do NOT wake up well and I like being up at night.. And, it's Spring Break! It's peaceful and relaxing. Plus, I have found a new obsession...

I love Glee. That's really all there is to it. It's been on tv for about two years and I've never really given it much thought. Allyson explained it to me right after it came on; it sounded cool, but I didn't really have time. A month ago, I saw I Am Number Four with Dianna Agron and I saw that she was also in Glee. I read about a few of the episodes and was pretty blown away. I mean, I've been seeing previews for two years so I knew it was good.. but this was awesome. And I hadn't heard any of the singing yet.

The other night I saw a clip of an episode where the characters perform two of my favorite songs: Candles by Hey Mondey and Raise Your Glass by Pink (both on my list ;) ). They were both fantastic and I had to buy Raise Your Glass to even sleep. I just played it over and over because the male voices in this series are AMAZING. Tonight, I watched the full episode and was like a giddy frickin' teenager watching a chick flick.. and I am perfectly ok with that. (:

I have always had this thing with music, where I'll hear a song and picture a performence to it... band, marching band, cheerleaders, dancers, flags, choir, auditorium, gym, etc... and see myself in it. It kind of started with the song 4 Minutes by Madonna. I could see my band (even specific people!) playing and singing... well tonight, I saw something very similiar to my vision on Glee.. with my FAVORITE character, no less... of 4 Minutes and I about fainted. The vocals were to die for and the dancing and marching band were dead on to what I envisioned. Unfourtunatly, my favorite character is a cute, adoarble, gay guy... go figure. :/

But nevertheless, I bought the episode (and the one with Raise Your Glass in it) so I can watch them whenever I want. And to be honest, I never really thought I'd like Glee... It just kinda swept me away (:
