By: Paige Kleinfelder '14As I started to think about my blog for this week I realized that Tuesday is my favorite day of the week. So yesterday after dinner I joined my fellow Joss Whedon fans during the club meeting for Welcome to Sunnydale (The club devoted to the Whedon shows including Buffy, Angel, Firefly and Dollhouse). Before watching an episode of Dollhouse, we discussed our plans for recreating Once More with Feeling the musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Perhaps my love of the Buffy musical episode explains why I was so excited when it was time for Glee!
When I opened the door to my friends’ suite to watch Glee I found myself in a Christmas wonderland. A six foot Christmas tree stood against the wall. Intricate paper snowflakes littered the room and garland with glittering lights was draped around the common room. By the start of the Glee there were eight of us packed onto the futon and the chairs squeezed into the room. As far as Glee goes, it was a pretty important episode because Glee Club was off to sectionals. Cassie jumped up on the futon when the competition started and the song “I’ve Had the Time of My Life” began. (My guess is that everyone in Tower A heard her screaming with excitement).
I admit that I am a bit of a Gleek. But there is another show that steals my true devotion. The Office. Last night I joined the team “Male Primadonna” for The Office Pub Trivia to show off my love for the crew at Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. The four of us pulled off a second place win by answering questions about the show, the actors and the original UK version. Sadly there was only one question that mentioned my favorite character from the show: Creed Bratton. Everyone else watches the show for characters like Michael, the boss who tries too hard to be funny, or the token couple Pam and Jim, but I love to watch episodes to catch Creeds completely random comments. My friends have come to realize if I walk up to them and say “I know you… You’re from the parking lot” I haven’t lost my mind, I have just used one of my favorite Creed quotes. There is a lot to love about the oldest employee at the office whose crazed expressions are only slightly less shocking than the blog he tried to write.
After last night, I am beginning to believe that if Glee fans are Gleeks then there ought to be a name for extreme fans of the The Office. Any suggestions?
