Gleeks Anonymous

In honour of our regular Monday night Gleek club. In the second year of university, the group of us that were so close in first year frayed a little at the seams. It's understandable: you move out of student dorms, into new flats in different areas of the city, with new people and a bigger workload. But it was a little sad. So last year and this year, every Monday night, we have an agreement: Glee night at Thirlestane Road. While some may scoff, I think it's a lovely thing to do. Whatever is going on in our lives, we usually manage to make time for an hour of guilty pleasure television followed by some chat.

As a lover of musical theatre, I know that it is not the most "cool" hobby to enjoy. I think it's a smart trick of fate that a show about lovable losers who no one wants to sit with at lunch is now one of the most popular things on tv.

It gives hope for my inner band geek.
