Glee

My new favourite show is Glee. I can really identify with the character of Rachel Berry, played by Lea Michele. She's a misfit with a passion for singing show tunes.

I now have an hour each week where I am truly happy. I can forget about everything and just be completely sucked into the world of Glee.

If there was a way for me to live my life spontaneously bursting into classic pop songs and show tunes, I'd totally sign up.

There's nothing like the sound of music.

A few friends of mine have mentioned that I remind them of Rachel, and vice versa. I hope it's the insanely talented singer part of her character, and not the snooty diva who is incapable of making friends.

I now have a goal to land a role on that show and belt out some Janis Joplin tunes. I think I could play Rachel's older, totally kick ass cousin. I would want to play her sister but it was established in the pilot episode that she's an only child with two gay dads.
