I've never thought of my self as an outcast or outsider. Yes, I hung around with the outliers in high school but I also hung around with honor students and athletes too. I guess I thought I fit a little into most of the groups.
This weekend, while I was sick, I got sucked into the Glee marathon on Oxygen. I'd never actually seen it before. I know. Bad Maggie. 8 pm just isn't a good TV watching time for me on week nights. As much as I love musical theater and tend to break out into song and dance on my own (remind me to tell you about doing Singing in the Rain across the high school parking lot sometime), I just missed getting into it at the beginning.
Well, during "Never Been Kissed," something Will said to the Beast really struck me. I believe my precise reaction was, "Fuck, I am one of the outcasts." How I never realized this before is beyond me. Unless, of course, I realized it and then promptly forgot/went into denial. I guess I never associate geek with outcast.
By the by, Puck and Kurt are my favorites. Kurt is too darling for words.
