And I Say Hello...

Hello, Gleeks! I’m so excited to be here on Glee Club Online! After a successful audition for the role of writer, I’d like to tell you a little about myself.

My name is Ali, and I am looking to begin a career as a writer, so I figured I should gain experience with a blog about one of my favorite shows. I have lived in the Keystone State of Pennsylvania my whole life. You probably know this, but Pennsylvania borders Ohio, so I’m not a very long distance from the world of New Directions.

I have almost every song from Glee on my IPod, and I just kicked off season two by downloading everything from tonight’s season premiere. I have season 1 on DVD, own two of the Glee t-shirts from Macy’s, have a necklace and a bracelet from the Claire’s line, and intend to buy the 2011 calendar.

I became a fan of the show when I saw a preview for the pilot. I think I was watching “So You Think You Can Dance?” at the time. When I saw the kids singing “Don’t Stop Believing”, I couldn’t wait to check it out. Although I enjoyed the pilot, I wasn’t sure I would become a diehard Gleek. But here I am!

It is really hard for me to pick one favorite song, since I could play them all on repeat and never get bored with them. But if I had to pick one, I would go with “Ice Ice Baby”. I associated Vanilla Ice’s original version with one of my favorite movies, 13 Going on 30, so the song has stuck with me since I first saw that movie. I was ecstatic when New Directions did it on the show.

Just like I can’t pick one favorite song, it’s also hard to pick one favorite character. However, I have to say I enjoy Brittany the most. She reminds me of Karen from Mean Girls, who I also loved. Brittany hangs out with the “mean girls” (Quinn and Santana), but she is too spaced out to be mean. She has some great lines just like Karen. My favorite Brittany line is “I bet the duck is in the hat.”

Although I love Brittany, my favorite Glee quote comes from Finn in the episode “Preggers”:

“I borrowed this book from the library. Do you know you can just, borrow books from there? All of them! Except the encyclopedias.”

When I am not watching Glee, I enjoy watching hockey (Pittsburgh Penguins) and baseball (New York Yankees). I also love going ice skating, shopping, and bowling.

Well, I hope you enjoy everything I am going to write for you. This week, watch here for my review of the Glee clothing line at Macy’s. I am also thinking of doing an awards segment for each new episode where I give out awards for characters and plotlines.

If you have any ideas for what you want me to write about, just drop me a comment in the comments section. I am open to any and all suggestions!
