and i am done with my graceless heart

Hi! I'm Tina Cohen-Chang. I'm a sophomore at McKinley High and a member of the New Directions. My interests include singing, fashion, and performing. I'm also currently very happily taken by Mike Chang. Try not to be too jealous, ladies. I've always loved performing and I really consider it what I want to do with my life.

I’m sure he’ll want to be friends after he gets over the embarrassment of the fact he lost a girlfriend because he was too busy playing video games. Although I’m sure there are a few guys in glee club that should take this as a sign that they need to change their habits.

[thetinacchang]

They really should. It's not the way to keep a girlfriend.

You’re in the Glee Club too? It’s great to meet so many of you guys! That’s good to hear, those slushies don’t sound exactly pleasant. Do they happen often?

[thetinacchang]

Yeah, I am! I have been since last year. It's one of my favorite things about school. More than often, especially for us in the glee club. They're far from pleasant, but we learn to deal with it.

[xoqfabs]

I guess I can see why you’d break up with him but he really only has his self to blame for that. Eventually the guys in this town will learn what it means to actually be a good boyfriend. Hopefully Mike will do a better job.

[thetinacchang]

My thoughts exactly. I mean, I really care about Artie and I want us to still be friends after all the tension has died down, but he was just being a bad boyfriend. Mike's been doing a pretty good job. He's kind of amazing.

[puckersex-blog]

I seriously don’t.

[thetinacchang]

If you say so, Puck.

[thekatherinewilde-blog]

Do they let everyone who auditions in?

[thetinacchang]

I mean, mostly, yeah. But I'm sure if you're looking to join glee club, you're a pretty good singer.

[abowtiedwarbler-blog]

That’s got to be pretty nice, having a load of people from your school on here to talk to! How’s the first day back treating you?

[thetinacchang]

Yeah, I guess it kind of is. Most of them are my friends from glee club, anyway. It treated me alright! I managed to avoid any slushies, so that's always a plus.

[marleysings]

Well… that’s certainly disappointing.

[thetinacchang]

Erm, okay.

[thekatherinewilde-blog]

Oh I still plan on auditioning, I just need to know what I’m getting into.

[thetinacchang]

I'm glad! I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun in here once you get in.

[puckersex-blog]

I got no idea what you’re talking ‘bout.

[thetinacchang]

Mhm. Sure you don't.

[abowtiedwarbler-blog]

I don’t, no. I’m from Dalton, over in Westerville, and I’m starting to feel like one of the only guys from there that have made one of these things. I take it almost everyone else is from McKinley on here?

[thetinacchang]

Oh! Yeah, I'd say that's a safe guess. Maybe there's a few that aren't, but I think everyone else mostly is.

[xoqfabs]

You and Artie broke up? I don’t know if I’m surprised or not, but do I know this new guy?

[thetinacchang]

Yeah, we did. Let's just say he enjoyed spending more time with his video games this summer than he did with me. You do! It's Mike.

[abowtiedwarbler-blog]

They certainly do look like fun, although I think this is going to be very distracting once school’s back. Anyway, I have a feeling I haven’t met you before; I’m Blaine, it’s a pleasure to meet you Tina!

[thetinacchang]

Hi, Blaine! It's really nice to meet you, too. You don't go to McKinley, do you?

[xoqfabs]

You spent the entire summer at camp and actually enjoyed yourself? It must have been a lot better than I’m picturing.

[thetinacchang]

It was! Maybe that's just because I got a new boyfriend with amazing abs out of it, though.

[kingkurtofnyc]

It feels like it’s going to be a time vortex. And oh, God, don’t remind me. It’s still summer. At least for another couple of days. There are always new fashion trends to be aware of, miss Tina, but I would be happy to fill you in next time I see you.

[thetinacchang]

I'll admit I'm not looking forward to the inevitable slushie facials starting up again either. Amazing. You and Mercedes are like my go-tos for this.

[thekatherinewilde-blog]

It’s nice to meet you too. There’s a lot of drama with Glee Club?

[thetinacchang]

Um, well... yes, kind of. But don't let that defer you! It's still a lot of fun and we're like a big family in here.

[marleysings]

Oh, so you’re just as boring in here as you are in real life? I figured you’d be artsy and write poems about how you want to kill everyone at school and re-do old famous gothic paintings on our blood.

[thetinacchang]

Um... okay? Just because I dress a certain way doesn't mean that it's my personality.

[xoqfabs]

It was great. I’m back in tip-top shape for the cheerios and ready to get this year starter. How was yours?

[thetinacchang]

Oh, good! Glad to hear it. Mine was pretty good. I was pretty convinced being a camp counselor for a lot of the summer was going to be kind of lame, but... it actually wasn't.
