My thoughts..

Firstly I'd like to give a shout out today to my AP Lang class...during our fire drill today some of us were discussing how weird words sound when you repeat them multiple times. Kudos to us sounding silly :] [PS...try it! Scissors is such a weird word...]

Anyway, back to the topic. GLEE WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC LAST NIGHT!! Anyone agree or disagree? If you disagree, I will be extremely upset with you. :P The songs were fabulous...there was A House is Not a Home performed by Kurt, Fire and One Less Bell to Answer performed by Mr. Schu and Kristen Chenoweth [EEK..again..another reason why this episode was FABULOUS!], Home performed by Kristen Chenoweth, and Mercedes' heart wrenching rendition of Beautiful.

Ahh. That right there is the sound of great appreciation and satisfaction. Personally, my favorite song of the night was Fire. Beautiful rendition of the song originally by The Pointer Sisters.

This episode was centered around Kurt and his feelings for Finn. Could be kind of awkward to some...but it was pretty amusing and sad at the same time. I won't give any spoilers away...but there's some serenading, some falling in love, and some awkward exchanges. Who doesn't love watching awkward encounters!? :]

Mercedes had a huge role in the episode as well. This second half of the first season has been extremely successful in delving into the lives of the other Glee characters. Mercedes is told by Sue that she must lose 10 pounds in a week to stay on the Cheerios squad. Quinn [by the way...where the heck has she been?] talks to Mercedes and is [shocker] nice! Then Mercedes sings her cover of Christina Aguilera's Beautiful. This was definitely the feel good moment of the episode.

Pressure to be skinny...difficulty with relationships...finding love...yep basically sums up my teenage life so far. I'm not 100% certain, but I think there's a lot of that at Roncalli and every other high school across the nation. It's not just one group of people who suffer from these problems--it's all across the board. So if you think you're you-know-what don't stank and you don't have problems.. well, you've got a major reality check coming to you [or as my dad calls it, a "Come to Jesus meeting"]. Life is not easy, and no one ever said it would be, but that's why we have friends and groups of people we can connect with to make this ship sail a little more smoothly.

Well, off to study. Oh the joys of school :P
18 days of school left [before finals] for anyone who's counting!
