Everyone Give A Big Gleekdom Welcome To...

...Dana with WTF? Glee!?!

We are very happy to announce a new member of The Gleekdom!  First however, let me (Rachel with GleeHab) give you a little back story.  I love me some Twitter.  I'm pretty much addicted (as I'm sure many of my followers can tell).  If I am not on my computer tweeting, then I'm on my phone tweeting.  All. The. Time. It's become an obsession actually but I'm glad it has because I have come in contact with some of the most INCREDIBLE people!  Case in point - my Gleekdom partners AND now our newest partner in Dana!!
Dana is hands down one of the most hysterical people I have ever met.  She is also pretty damn awesome in every other way.  She is a wife, mother of 2, Political Science instructor (as well as a politics junkie), an avid reader, writer, and Broadway lover.  And, of course Dana loves Glee!

Here's what Dana had to say when I asked her why she loves Glee:

"In high school, I was the music (band) nerd (not just any band geek--I played the OBOE--I spent my 4 years of HS with a permanent wedgie).  Because of that experience, I totally relate to the kids.  Now that I'm a teacher, I totally relate to the adults as well.  Plus, it's just the most clever, well-written, imaginative, hysterical thing I've seen on TV in a long time, if not ever!  Oh, and Matthew Morrison is the hottest man on the face of the earth."

Can you see why this woman has me in hysterics at all hours of the day?
WTF Glee!?! is a site that is just full of pure comedy.  Dana explores all of those WTF moments in the show with such humor and insight that it is just wonderful.  We all know the moments...the ones where you just kind of sit there and go "what the f***?" It really makes 'ya think (and laugh)!

Life’s about choices, Finn. Like, I choose to live with a deranged baby-faker with a Christmas closet full of Pottery Barn bathroom accessories.

So, without further delay I ask you to RUN don't WALK (or whatever the cyber equivalent of that phrase would be) to Dana's SITE and give her a proper Gleekdom welcome!!

Welcome Dana!  We are SO EXCITED to have you on board!

Team Finn T-Shirts and Swingle Singers iTunes Giveaway Winners

WOW! We are so excited about the response to our first-ever giveaway!

We really wanted to show our thanks to everyone in the Gleekiverse who has supported our Gleekdom sites so far, so we had these shirts made up (thanks, Rachel from GleeHab!).
