The Glee Wiki Tournament - Round 2 (iBlog My Glee-munity)
Joshua's Glee-munity
To say that the Glee Wiki Community means so much to me would be an understatement. I can honestly say that I am in total gratitude coming in here and meeting my 2nd family here. That bonding I share with the users contrasts with the bondage of Glee. People may think Glee is unrealistic through their mutualism and that shared bond they have with every other member. If you had asked me 2 months ago, I would have agreed. Now, to even think that theory is remotely true would be a slap in the face because I've experienced that Glee bondage right here in Glee Wikia. To come in here for the first time, the blank display picture replicating my identity, represented my first assumption about this place which was "yep, I am not going to fit in." This initial reaction however was determined to be entirely false from the moment I clicked Join the Chat. That feeling of belonging from that first moment really made me feel that I was actually in the Glee atmosphere (without the singing of course :p).
To me, Glee Wikia also defines coming together. We're all different in race, sexuality, religion, shape, personalities etc, but we all do have something in common. Our passion for Glee, whether its the story lines, the music, the characters, the romance heck all of them. We're were brought together for our love for glee and are held together by our difference, in which are all viewed the same in Glee and in the Glee community. Overall, this community means the value of what the show is trying to bring which is tolerance and love by which I for one and many others have experienced in this community.
