I'm always nervous about doing an introduction thing in case I do it wrong (to which everyone is asking "how can you do it wrong..." and that's... not something I'm sure about...), but I thought it might be fun to follow this comm and I love reading so that's good! Anyway! I'm Amy, and I use too many exclamation marks.
I first heard about Glee the summer before it first premiered on TV. I was scrolling through Hulu and they were showing advertisements for it during some of the commercial breaks, and then they put the first episode online before they put it on TV, and I was so excited. How could a show go wrong when they had the kids singing Journey songs? I was in love before the show was even on TV. I was telling my roommates about it, but no one knew or had heard of it, so it was just me gushing and telling everyone they needed to get into it, because, yes.
Glee was a bright spot in my life for a lot of dark days. Sometimes it's still the bright spot, but now I get to share it with other people. Fandom might be crazy sometimes, but I love that everyone loves the show for the same things, and for different things. When I moved in with my current roommates, we all discovered that we had a love for the show, and now it's one of my favorite things, to watch Glee on Tuesdays with my roommates. My favorite character is Artie. Ever since I saw him with those dorky glasses singing "Sit Down You're Rockin' The Boat", I fell in love with him, he's always amazing. I think what I like the best about the show, though, is that every character is relate-able. I might not like what I see in them, just like I don't like what I see in myself. Sometimes they do things that are absolutely nuts, and just a little bit unrealistic, but the way they think, and the way that they react to new things in their lives? They are me. They had to go through the things in high school and beyond that I did, and sometimes, they handle it much better then I did. And sometimes they don't, but that's okay. No one's the same.
Is that corny and sappy enough? I tend to do that sometimes. Sometimes I like to write stories! Mainly I like to roleplay. I like taking characters and making them expand and grow, and see what they do in situations outside of their canon. Other then that, I'm a big mental health advocate, especially to help bring awareness to it for kids in high school. I'm very open about the things I went through, so long as it's going to help someone else who may be going through the same thing, but be too scared to say anything.
I read everything, though. So if you write it, I'll read it, and sometimes I'll even leave a comment, if I don't psych myself out first. I'm really glad to be here, and I can't wait to see the things that come out of it!
