My Favorite Finn Songs.

-
We're approaching it. You know...The Quarterback. The Glee episode giving a memorial to Cory Monteith's character, Finn Hudson. I will be crying and drinking heavily during it. So please brace yourselves for any drunk texts, voicemails or social media updates, that look, or sound like I’m being attacked violently but a bum with a rusty pipe. It’s just me…still grieving.

So here, in no particular order, are 12 of my favorite Finn/Cory songs

Don't Stop Believin' 
FOX and their premieres do something to me. It was this final performance from the pilot that had sign the commitment form that I would be attending Glee come fall 2009.

Hello, I Love You
I love any performance where Cory is playing the drums, its organic, since he was a drummer and all.

Faithfully
It's very hard not to love this performance for anyone who shipped Rachel and Finn for the previous 21 episodes. There was the same chemistry from then first did Don't Stop Believin' except an added bonus was Finn finally said I love you to Rachel.

With You I'm Born Again
It's so awkwardly inappropriate and uncomfortable. It’s even more so inappropriate and uncomfortable that it was made for us to hate it, but I LOVED IT (sorry to those I’ve now offended) Finn looks so cute as a priest.

Dammit Janet
This is just a fun song and I love him in those thick black rimmed glasses. That's it.

Just the Way You Are
The sweetest gesture ever. Finn loves his gay stepbrother, and makes it known that he loves him just the way he is.  

Pretending
I love the scene with Rachel and Finn before the song. I love the scene with Rachel and Finn before, before the song where she tells him they can't be together. I love they that both wrote songs about their relationship for competitions (re: Get It Right).  I love watching them perform the song and seeing them word by word growing to the conclusion that they belong together.

Girls Just Want to Have Fun
Just Cory and a piano in this cover from a cover of the song. Sometimes I close my eyes in the shower and I pretend he’s singing to me. I’m kidding. I’m kidding. I don’t shower.

I Just Can't Stop Loving You
One of my favorite lines ever on this show is right before the song Finn tells Rachel "Just listen, I always feel like you like hear me better when I'm not talking." Then Rachel comes in on the second verse with “I hear your voice now, you are my choice now.” (well played writers) Then Rachel says yes to his proposal, and we think it's a happy ending forever, or at least until the end of the series...but no. It turns out to be a complete train wreck.

Don't Speak
Even though this was a foursome of a two couple breakup, I enjoyed the song.  And I enjoyed the scene between Rachel and Finn afterwards in the McKinley auditorium. That was some very good acting between Cory and Lea.

Don't Dream It's Over
Give me one of my favorite 80s songs, and give me Cory Montieth singing it? You’ve given me a reason to live.

(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)
Finn's last song (minus Rachel’s audition). What a great, classic fun song. And there’s Cory on the drums. Epic. Mark Salling and him do a great cover, almost sounding like the Beastie Boys.


Uh. Still not over it.

Her, Him & Them: Based on a Fictional True Story

-
Based on a true, but fictional story He was everything to her. She knew every possible thing she could know about him.  He was a photographer, an amazing one at that. He would say that  SportsCenter  was his favorite show, when in actuality it was  Parenthood.  If he could only eat one type of food for the rest of his life, he chose the Dragon Roll from Sushi on Main. He had a super fat tabby cat named Tabby. He’s deathly allergic to bees.  He’s the oldest of three children. He has two sisters that mean the absolute world to him. Their father died when he was 10 and he had to become the man of the house. When he’s ready to have children he wants four, two of each. These are the things she excitedly told her three girlfriends at brunch the first time she mentioned him. She couldn’t believe a month had passed since she told them about him. She wasn’t going to, at least not then but she just kind of blurted it out after they kept badgering her a...

Giving Back.

With my dear friend Linsanity's latest woes, I had already started populating my "Letters to Lindsay - version 2.0. I really thought she was going to go back to the slammer, I was uberly excited that this was going to happen because then we could re-ignite the relationship we started over the summer. MISS THIS GIRL! I'll be honest once she was sprung from Lynwood, I tried to keep in contact but it was tough because no one would give me her address, she never replied to my tweets, and the impossible happened - I couldn't even get anything out of Michael Lohan's mouth. Then the judge sentenced her to the worst possible thing: rehab until January 3rd 2011. I thoroughly oppose rehabs, I'm a staunch believer in the old saying "Rehab is for quitters!" I cannot with a clean conscience continually write a daily letter to the Lin-dawg and address it to "Betty Ford Center." It would go against everything I believe in. After much contemplation...

You're Judging Me? I'm Judging You?

I was getting coffee with a co-worker today and I ordered a caramel latte.  The barista asked me a question after I ordered. I didn't hear what he said, so he repeated it. I still couldn't hear, so he repeated it a third time. I responded again with "what?" He repeated it again. I turned to my co-worker for assistance and he said "What is your name?" the proceeded to answer for the barista.  After we left I told him that I really couldn't understand the barista, he said well he was soft spoken, maybe he was intimidated by you.  I was taken aback. "What?! I'm not intimidating." "Yeah, you are just the look you always have on your face. It says 'don't talk to me.'" I cursed out loud and replied with "Dammit, that's supposed to be my airport look." Don't bother me at airports people, don't want to be there, don't want to know you. Unbeknownst to me, my airport look turned into my everyday when...
