Turn Around, Bright Eyes

November 20th, 2010 by Manda | 2 Comments | Filed in Relationships

Remember when I said my life was like Glee?

Well, my life is still like Glee except now, it’s not in a good way. Right now, it’s like Glee in the there’s nothing I can do; total eclipse of the heart way. Which, if you know anything about Glee, means things kind of suck right now. And there’s absolutely nothing I can do about it… at least not while I’m abroad. Or while I have any self-respect. Because really, a component of being abroad is going out and having fun without any strings attached but is that still a relevant factor when it hurts so much?

My Life Is Like Glee

September 13th, 2010 by Manda | 2 Comments | Filed in Entertainment, Relationships

Picture this: my friends and I are at KTV (karaoke), singing and dancing and having a good time. Our last song comes on, which happens to be Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’. Between all of us, we share two microphones. I end up sharing the microphone with my best guy friend, which is great because the two of us are the most jazzed about KTV out of our whole group. He’s ridiculously tall and adorable like Cory Monteith/Finn Hudson, and I’m short and feisty like Lea Michele/Rachel Berry. We sing Don’t Stop Believin’ to each other, belting our hearts out and dancing close together and loving every moment.

All the while, I couldn’t help but feel it was like we were recreating the pilot episode of Glee. It was just that perfect.
