don't stop believin'

[elly427]

I mised Glee back in May and only caught the pilot early this week. I am kind of adoring it thus far, as are many of you, but I have a theory about this.

[Poll #1455600]

I was in choir and drama (and muscial theatre! dinner theatres, actually) and would have been in band had I not made the misguided decision to play the ukulele and not an actual instrument in elementary school. I feel like the flist (and the community of TV critics) is full of choristers and drama geeks and this is where at least half the love for Glee is coming from, though I could be wrong.

The year I started high school we were forced to take a fine art, so I ended up doing both drama and voice. It was a lot of fun - I wish you had the opportunity!

And I TOTALLY forgot about SpyDaddy guesting. I loves him so! *whirls in gleee*

ALSO, you, I have read The Hunger Games and Catching Fire and am in love with it a lot. Like, maybe I'm composing a post about it and fic! and my love for Katniss and poor Peeta and Anders-substitute Gale. I blame you, you know.

OMG you're the second person tonight who said they think Gale is like Anders! Which I so do not understand. GALE IS SO LEE-LIKE!!

But yes, POST. AND FIC!! I just opened a thread at good_hunting_hq tonight so we can talk about Catching Fire!! There is the home-like kiss!! And the line about belonging to each other and "anything else is unfathomable."

WAIT. WHAT.

OMG are you on Team Gale? BECAUSE I WILL HAVE TO FICTIONALLY DISOWN YOU. I mean, not really, but. BUT!

I have many reasons for my Gale-is-Anders theory which I am currently incapable of articulating but which mostly begin and end with 'we know nothing about him! Why should I invest in him and Katniss? He's nice enough, but come on! Peeta IS TOTALLY LEE with his ridiculous, life-long, unexepected love from afar. Gale is TOTALLY ANDERS IN THIS SCENARIO.'

My paradigm is totally shifting, here, Tara. OMG.

*clings to you regardless*

Seriously my mind is blown here.

(OMG YOUR ICON. I can't believe I was so off base.)

OMG.

(My fic is all Peeta or Haymitch based!)

Haymitch is awesome. Peeta is...emo.

You must come over to good hunting to see how wrong you are. ;) There are a few holdouts who like pale imitation Peeta, but Gale and Lee have so much more in common! Gale was there first! They had the bond first and Peeta is the interloper! Gale is totally quietly pining for her TOO. It's so clear.

*clings back at you even though you are so misguided*
