Gleeful

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're Lebanese, you're orient
Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'cause baby you were born this way
- Lady GaGa


I went to see the new Glee Concert movie in 3D last night with my friend Nancy and her brother Andy. It was a really fun way to pass a couple of hours. If going to the movie certifies me as a Gleek, at least I'm in good company. I suspect Glee is a guilty pleasure for a lot more middle aged people than just me, Nancy and Andy. The theatre was relatively empty but those who were there looked to be about as long in the tooth as I am. My only regret about the movie is that I dutifully sat and watched when what I really wanted to do was dance and sing. Maybe I will go back to a matinee by myself one day this week. The theatre is almost always empty in the afternoons. I can sit at the back and dance and sing my heart out. If anyone does look at me strangely, I'll just explain - baby I was born this way.
