I know that I have seen something like this being done before, I but I thought I would give it a try anyways.

Blaine and Kurt become pen-pals through a program designed for teens in Ohio. The following is their letters. I actually have no idea where this is going, but it seems to have a mind of it's own so we will see.


To whom it may concern…

Despite the fact that I thoroughly despise clichés and have this constant need to push the boundaries in everything I that do, I am at a loss of how to start this letter in a unique, mind blowing way. And so I have to decided that just this once I will conform to the masses and begin like everybody else: Hello! My name is Kurt Hummel. What's your name? Blah…just re-reading that makes me cringe-what has the world come to?* shakes head in shame*

Seeing as I have already jumped on the bandwagon, I might as well continue. I live in Lima( an old-fashioned, cow-town if there ever was one) with my dad, step-mother ( Carole) and asshat of a step-brother ( Finn). My dad owns and runs a mechanic/tire shop and I work there on weekends and sometimes after school. If you knew me ( which I guess if we continue to write each you will) you would appreciate the irony of that. Most people I know are shocked to discover that I know what a carburetor is. Despite this, I have NO aspirations to be a mechanic. As soon as I graduate ( I would go sooner but my dad won't let me) I plan on moving to New York and starring on Broadway. In case that wasn't a big enough giveaway, I live for performing. The only thing I love more then performing is fashion. And sarcasm. I love me some witty come backs.

As you may or may not have guessed, I am a member of my school's Glee Club, the New Directions ( yes I know, atrocious name). Glee is honestly the best part of my day. Even if I rarely get solos and it's a miracle if we actually do the songs I want to do. This is mainly due to the fact that our female lead, Ms. Rachel Berry, is both extremely talented and what my brother would call a " controlist." Also, as a countertenor in a group that consists of several people who have no idea that the musical alphabet only goes up to G, I am pretty sure that they don't appreciate my talent as much as they should ( OMG, speak of the devil. I sound just like Rachel. Damn her for seeping in my head and converting me into a self absorbed SOB. And speaking of being self absorbed, I really shouldn't assume that you have any idea of what I am talking about. Although I really really hope you do, because otherwise I am not sure what we can talk about in our letters…assuming you wish to continue writing with me). Besides Glee, I also did a brief stint with the Cheerios ( my school's multiple National Championship winning cheerleading squad) and an even briefer stint with the McKinley High Titans ( my school's football team which, for a lack of a better word, kind of sucks).

Mr. Witter ( my English teacher who came up with the lovely idea of signing everyone in his third period class up for this pen-pal program) made a list of questions we can ask in our first letters- all of which are ridiculous, boring and slightly juvenile. So I have come up with my own list of questions, which I will also be answering. Actually, I found a site devoted to weird questions while surfing the net during Math and randomly picked ten and used them.

1) What is your least favourite animal and why? Mine is the Texas Longhorn. Seriously, they creep the crap out me. My Uncle John has a whole bunch of them and every time we visit him I freak out. Just thinking about them makes me shudder. I mean come on. What the hell is the purpose of those stupid horns on their heads? So they can poke each other's eyes out for fun? And how do they stay standing up? Shouldn't they just fall over because they are so top heavy? I could go on, but to preserve your sanity I will digress…

2) What television show could you not live without? Mine is definitely Project Runway. When I was younger it was, oddly, The Power Rangers.

3) What is your coffee order? Non-fat Grande Mocha.

4) What is your Guilty Pleasure Disney Movie? The Little Mermaid or Mulan.

5) You just got a free plane ticket to anywhere in the world, and you leave right now. Where are you going? New York

6) Do you untie your shoes before you take them off? YES! I don't understand people who are to lazy to do that. Or people how step on the heels of their shoes. That ruins your shoes people!

7) What is your favourite dessert? I LOVE cheery cheesecake, even if it's really bad for me

8) Would you put off following your dreams to start a family? This one actually merits some thinking. I really really want to follow my dreams…but a family would also be nice. Damn it, why did I have to randomly pick such a complicated question.

9) Are you a fan of dragons? I admit dragons are actually quite beautiful creatures, if you are into the whole fantasy thing.

10) Are you a shopaholic? That would an understatement.

So there you have it! Anyways, I hope I haven't weirded you out to much. And I would love to hear back from you.

Your new pen-pal,

Kurt


Well, I guess first things first: Hello, Kurt Hummel. My name is Blaine Anderson.

Second, and please do not be offended by this, are you gay? Do not worry I am definitely not a homophobe- it would be kind of hypocritical and self deprecating if I was. It is just, as much as I wish it was no t the case, my sexuality is a huge issue for a lot of people. I wish it did not t matter, but I am not naive enough to think that everyone is comfortable with it. Regardless of whether you are gay or not, I feel the need to let you know up front. That way if you wish to stop writing to me, we can get that over with before we develop some sort of friendship and then have to awkwardly end it.

I am from a town called Westerville- a very traditional and prominent town if I do say so myself. I attend the Dalton Academy for Boys. Despite " living" ten minutes away from campus, I board there and spend my summers aboard. I am actually rarely at home. My father is in politics whilst my mother works in event planning- well sort of. I have a younger sister who attends Crawford Day and an older brother who is in his second year at Harvard Law. Much like yourself, I do not aspire to follow in my father's footstep. I have been told I am to " nice" to be in politics several times, plus my father and I do not see eye-to-eye politically and it would not look good if I went against him.

I am also in my school's Glee Club, the Warblers. So I actually know what you are talking about when you say that you are a countertenor- which is very impressive by the way, even if you fellow Glee Club members can not see that. There has not been a countertenor in the Warblers since James Harrison graduated in 1987. Both a blessing and a curse of going to a school like Dalton is it's constant need to strive for excellence and prove that future world leaders and thinkers walk it's hallow halls. Because of this, many of our achievements- however minor they may seem at the time- are documented then later drilled into the minds of future generations of young and determined Dalton boys, in hopes of being an inspiration. Apparently, the ability to hit a high E( something legend has it won the Warblers a National Championship) is note worthy. And although I kind of agree, I also think it is a bit over the top.

As much as I love the perform, I do not think I will pursue a career in the Entertainment Industry. To be perfectly honest with you, I actually have no ides what I want to do once I graduate. And as odd as this might sound, I wish that I could be professional student. At least until I find something I want to do. I truly am an academic at heart and genuinely enjoy learning new things. And to answer question number two, I could not live without Jeopardy- I watch it religiously. In fact, when I was a sophomore I had planned on auditioning for the Teen Tournament. Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to audition. My roommate and best friend Wes, is constantly harassing me to try again this year. And perhaps I will. But regardless of whether I make it this year or not, I definitely plan to one day be on that show.

Besides Glee, I am on my school's academic decathlon team, fencing team, soccer team and I started a fight club. I also used to be on the polo team but unfortunately had to quit due to injuries.

Now on to answering your questions.

1) I am really not a big fan of cat fish. My father once took me fishing - one of his many attempts at bonding- and I remember catching a cat fish and then immediately throwing it back in pure disgust. Actually, I do not particularly like looking at /touching live fish in general.

2) As I mentioned before, I am a huge Jeopardy fan. I am also partial to the Disney Channel.

3) Medium Drip please! I am kind of addicted to caffeine.

4) The Hannah Montana Movie. I am not really sure why I love that movie, but I do. Ironically, I also really like Finding Nemo

5) The Philippines. I would love to get a first hand glimpse at the life my grandmother left behind. Because I am only a quarter Pilipino and three quarters British, my Asian roots are not strong as my European ones and therefore not explored as much. Sometimes I think my mother is ashamed of her heritage, which is a shame.

6) I definitely untie my shoes before I take them off.

7) I am a man that takes pleasures in the simple things in life- I enjoy a nice bowl of plain vanilla ice cream.

8) I would put my dreams on hold if I found " the one". As much as I would love to a have a big career some day, I know first hand the damage putting your professional life before your personal one can cause.

9) As a big fan of " The Hobbit", I must confess I am rather found of dragons.

10) I would not really call myself a shopaholic, per say. But, I have been known to spend a fair amount of money from time to time. It really depends on what I am buying and what kind of mood I am in.

I think I will leave the random question asking to you, seeing as I am pretty sure what ever questions I come up with will not be as spontaneous as yours.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Your pen-pal

Blaine Darren Anderson Jr.


So? Love? Hate? Undecided? Regardless, reviews would totally make my day.
