A thread to discuss the various ways in which our love for this show manifests itself.
YAGW...
-You snicker when the weatherman says there is a chance of drizzle.
-You're visiting a nursing home one afternoon, walk by a player piano in the hallway and do a double-take because you realized it was plinking out "On My Own."
-You seriously contemplate calling out sick from your second shift at work because Glee is returning after the World Series hiatus and you want to watch "Wheels" in real time.
*Note: I hope no one is put out by the title. That line made me laugh, and I don't mean anything bad by it. Of course, if this thread stays around, I don't mind if it gets changed by either the mod or popular demand.

You buy the Glee cd, and within 2 weeks you know all the lyrics to "Bust a Move." All of them. Despite never having heard the song before it was on the show.

YAGW... you randomly quote Glee to your best friend and he replies with the correct quote in response.
... and when you're having a bad day and your best friend calls to randomly bust out a few lines of Halo/Walking on Sunshine and then hangs up before you can respond.

YAGW...Any of the original versions of Glee songs come on at work and you wonder why the programmer isn't playing the Glee version and you actually consider sending an email about it (work in a Fortune100 retailer that has an internal radio network)
YAGW...The internal radio network at work starts playing an original of a Glee song shortly after the song airs on Glee and you grin, pretty sure the programmer is a fellow Gleek and consider sending an email about it ;D

In a choice between paying your electric bill or buying "OMG! Kurt wore that shirt on Glee!!!" you (of course) get the shirt...
And wear it all the time...and lovingly refer to it as your "Kurt Shirt"
(Hangs head in shame... )

YAGW... you realize that the recently played songs in your I-Pod for the past month consists primarily of those from the show.
YAGW... you hear "Take A Bow" and "Keep Holding On" on the radio, proceed to switch stations and totally scoff that your show did those so much better.

YAGW when you are at the trivia bar you go to on Wednesdays and you won't let them have FOX on the TVs because you'll be spoiled.
YAGW when you think about giving up the team for Glee.
YAGW when you wear a striped shirt and a friend calls it your "Finn shirt".
YAGW especially when you are a girl.

-Your facebook profile song is a glee song
-You turn the bus ride home from school into a singalong featuring "Defying Gravity" and "Proud Mary"
-You begin accidentally typing random quotes into an essay about Sui China... and then work them in rather than getting rid of them
I love the thread title, btw.

... your friend is having a bad day so you send him a compilation of the Glee clips you found while surfing the net rather than working.
... you schedule Thursday nights to watch Glee (no tv) on hulu, then realize Thursday Night Football has started. So you quit work early and skip dinner in order to watch Glee before the game starts rather than wait even ONE MORE DAY to see the new episode.

You have a very detailed dream that combines your current Acapella choir drama with Glee... which turns into a tv show promo.
Details? Here you go...
My acapella choir has a show to put on, and it turns out that Rachel Berry is part of our group. Within the first half of our show, for some odd reason a lot of members leave (apparently, my dream acapella choir has a lot of semi-loyal members) or step out......(one of my friends goes to a school to ask for donations for the choir...weird, I know). Halfway through the concert, those of us still there are freaking out because we've run out of the repetoire that we can sing without all those missing members. I volunteer to go find the members and bring them back.
I bump into Rachel Berry in the hall, who was supposed to be singing in the group but left halfway through our first act...so I went strict on her and told her to man up, stop being a diva, and get back in there. She said she'd rather not sing, and proceeded to run in the direction of Sue Sylvester's office...where Sue would easily give her a pass out of choir singing (all Rachel would have to do is fake cry or reason with Sue). So I criticised her for taking the easy way out of getting out of the concert.
But as she approached Sue's office, she bolted around the corner, and I tried to catch up with her...found her in the psychologist/counsellor's office (who looked like my psych prof)...and I overheard her talking about how hard it is being a teenager at her age, etc, revealing to the psychologist how little self esteem she has and how she feels she has to be good at everything and do everything. Seeing as I was (in this dream) a year older than she, I interjected in the conversation (uninvited) and said how the pressure she's feeling isn't abnormal and she's not the only one who has those insecurities, and nor will it go away. In fact, the next year, she'll have the same insecurities that she has now...she'll just be a year older.
Then Rachel Berry approached me and gave me a big hug...(I guess I went from one of her most hated people to her favourite person)
And apparently, the spoiler for that episode was that I would overhear something I wasn't supposed to hear, and that Rachel Berry would do something really nice and really unexpected.
It felt good to be hugged like that. Even in a dream. Sigh.

...you're really glad other people have been having Glee dreams because it means you're not crazy ;)
(Mine: I dreamed I was a McKinley High student and the class was going on some sort of field trip related to hiking that required getting up realllllly early in the morning. I was the only kid who turned up and I was sitting in the back of the bus, on my Blackberry, texting Rachel that she needed to hurry or she would be late. And Will was driving the bus.)
