Hi I am Heather (angelicmousegirl on tumblr angelicmousegrl on lj without the i in girl)

I don't think I've ever thought back to how I discovered Glee, I am using this post as an excuse to do it. In 2009 I was a huge High School Musical fan, and one of my friends told me she had heard about Glee from some promo right before it was on in May. I listened to her, but wasn't interested in the premise of the show because it sounded similar to HSM but in a dark, mean, and depressing way. So I knew people that watched it in May, but I didn't. Over the summer months of promotion and hearing how well the pilot did, I started to change my mind about giving it a try because of how I saw people talking about it. So I watched the Pilot online in September right before the second episode premiere and I have watched it ever since. It turned out I was wrong it this show was more amazing than I thought it was going to be. Kurt Hummel was my first favorite character and still remains my top favorite. Blaine is just the dreamiest thing to happen to this show possibly ever. <3 I also love Rachel Berry, and usually have a soft spot for Finn. I also love Emma. :D

I discovered this community through a rec of four_tens's crazy detailed recaps of episodes. (Which I have read all of and noticed they haven't been updated in a couple of months. ;_; I hope there will be more someday, they are so amazing!!) four_tens if you are around please, consider this request!

I wanted to join here because it looks like so much fun! Also it looks like a great community I could really use in this fandom right now, a lot of time I have to avoid most of the places in on the ineternet where Glee fans hang out because so many people seem to hate the show now, and I don't feel the same. I still love this show, I hope in this comm, I can still find some Glee love! <3 Excited to be here. :D

Kurt Hummel was my first favorite character

It's amazing to me how many people I've heard say this. Some people have even said they kept watching just for Kurt even when they weren't so interested in the rest of the show. Imagine if Chris Colfer had never auditioned and they'd never invented the role for him!

I really agree! I tend to be very careful about who I friend so I'm not following complainers, and I have to limit my reading in comms. ie If people are angry, close the tab. I'm very grateful for this comm! :)
