Interview: @ChillinWithLea

@ChillingWithLea

Lilly (Liliana) is a 21 years old girl who lives in Texas, USA. She's a student at a community college and she's trying to get her associates in Teaching and works full time at a bowling alley and host kids birthday parties. She says one of her hobbies will always be fangirling about Lea Michele. She plays the clarinet and piano, she loves going out to dinner or movies with friends. She's a TV addict, she watches a lot of Bravo shows for example The Real Housewives, Top Chef, Shays of Sunset... etc. Glee, The Walking Dead, American Horror Story and soon Scream Queens.

Her dream is to be teaching and doing what she loves the most. Her goal in life is to live life to the fullest without any regrets.

When asking her to describe herself she says "I would say I'm not a quitter, I'm very opened minded, I tend to keep my problems to myself and I definitely have my days were I want to be left alone. I think most people see me as this shy girl at the beginning but when they get to know me better they are presently surprised."

"I knew it was destiny for me to watch it. As the show went on I liked the message the show was sending to kids"

When and why did you start watching Glee?

I started watching the day the pilot first air but to be honest I just wanted to watch it to see what a joke the show was gonna be... how wrong was I back then.

When you kept watching it, what did you like the most?

One of the things I liked the most was the girl that was playing Rachel Berry... I had met Lea back in 2007 when I went to see Spring Awakening and when I saw her in the screen I knew it was destiny for me to watch it. As the show went on I liked the message the show was sending to kids out there who were to afraid to be themselves.

And who were/are your favorite characters? (Besides Rachel) Did you hate or dislike any character?

Finn and Santana are some of my favorite characters. I don't know why but I didn't like the newbies on S4 with the exception of Kitty. Marley, Ryder, and Unique were those characters that I didn't see the point of. I just didn't feel a connection with them whatsoever.

And do you like the new newbies?

Yes my favorites are Mason and Madison, I wish they would get an actual story line because they just bring something different to the show.

"I think that Finchel shippers don't like Samchel because they feel like Rachel just completely forgot about Finn."

What are your ships?

Finchel is one of them of course. I really love Kartie, I wish they had giving us more of that. And I know some people don't like them but Samchel is one of them too.

Why did you like Finchel?

Finchel is one of those couples that shouldn't be together if we based it on stereotypes but at the same time they make perfect sense. The Broadway nerd falls in love with the popular football player who everyone wish they were with... that story just speaks true love and just goes above and beyond the expectations people have sometimes.

And why do you like Samchel? Why do think some finchel shipper dont like the idea of Samchel?

The thing that I like about Samchel is that he treats her with respect... so far that's what he's been doing. Also I feel like Rachel doesn't have to act different around him because they already know each other. I think that Finchel shippers don't like Samchel because they feel like Rachel just completely forgot about Finn. Which in my opinion Rachel will never forgot about him.

Do you think they don't like Sam or they don't like Rachel being in a romantic relationship?

I think that both are so equal at the moment. Some people don't like Sam because of how the show has made him look. He's pretty much kissed all the girls in the glee club which adding Rachel to the list just makes Sam look desperate in some people's eyes. There's others who would rather see Rachel by herself if she's not with Finn and be an independent woman.

 Does Rachel deserve Sam?

I think Rachel deserves someone who is going to love her no matter her flaws and what a better choice than someone like Sam who knows who she is and who knows his boundaries because of the fact that he knows how important Finn still is for Rachel. Sam has also went through tough times so I think he deserves to be happy and find love and just settle up that way he can finally get it right.

"Whether people agree or not the writers have listen to a lot of the things fans have been asking for a while"

How do you feel about Glee ending?

I don't want it to end. As the days get closer to that day I'm trying to mentally prepare for a breakdown. This past year long hiatus was just a little sneak peek of how life will be without Glee... and I didn't like it. But we all knew it was going to end sometime... we just didn't realized how hard it would be to say goodbye.

What do you think of the Glee fandom?

I think that the Glee fandom nowadays is not the same as it used to be back then. I remember feeling safe when I would express my opinions. I knew that yes some people weren't going to agree but they weren't going to attack me or anyone else because of that said opinion. Nowadays if you say something that other people don't agree it starts a fandom war and I just don't like it. I really hope that when Glee is over we can go back to those times and just remember the show that brought us all together.

Glee S06EP09

What do you think of Season 6 so far?

I'm loving Season 6 so far... after season 5 I was losing hope that I was actually going to enjoy watching season 6 but I have no complaints at all. Whether people agree or not the writers have listen to a lot of the things fans have been asking for a while... Like come on they've mention Faberry a couple of times this season.

"I saw her (Lea Michele) for the first time in 2007 but I actually didn't have an encounter with her till May 2014 when I took a selfie with her"

What did you think when the Cory thing happened? How did you get over it?

I still remember that day perfectly... I'm getting emotional right now... I couldn't believe it at first. I thought someone was joking and I was getting pretty mad because you don't joke about stuff like that. When I saw CNN post of their website is when it hit me that it was real... I wasn't dreaming. He was such an amazing human being and I just couldn't understand why it happen to him. I don't think I've gotten over his passing but I've moved on and tried to remember him when he was alive. Dying is a part of life and when it happens to someone admire so much it's never going to stop crossing your mind. I have to say I was able to move on because of my amazing friends on Twitter. Without them I don't think I would have been able to keep my sanity.

Would Glee be different at the moment with Finn? 

I think that it would have been the same just with him in it. There would be differences of course. I think that if Finn was still on the show Rachel wouldn't have drop out of NYADA and would have continued in Funny Girl. Finn had the power to keep her sane and he would have known what was good for her and she would have listen to him.

You met Lea?

I saw her for the first time in 2007 but I actually didn't have an encounter with her till May 2014 when I took a selfie with her. I was literally following her around NYC with two of my besties from London that I met on Twitter. I saw her multiple times during my stay in the city... I even slept on the streets of NYC waiting to go into her Q&A and book signing for Brunette Ambition. Probably the best days of my life. I really hope everyone gets to meet her or whoever their idol is because it's one of the most amazing feelings ever.

How do you see Lea in a few years? 

You're asking me about the Queen... ok well I hope that Scream Queens has a good run that brings Lea a lot of success. I hope she keeps singing and writing books and for them to be successful as well. Lea going back to Broadway should be a must so I'm begging for that. As for her personal life I just want her to be happy and for her to always be sourrounded by people who love and support her unconditionally.

Has Glee changed your life? It has helped you?

Glee has definitely change my life. Without Glee I wouldn't have the confidence I have today. Without it I would've been too afraid to do what I love that would cause people to make fun of me for. Now I don't really take people negative comments about myself seriously. It has help me gain self-confidence and accept other's and their differences. Without Glee I wouldn't have met some of the most important people in my life. I want to thank a few people and I hope they are reading this... Xena, Maddi, Erin, Kaitlyn, Anne, Laura, Froukje, Friddi, Courtney, Paloma, Soph, Lauren, Sher, Savi, Emily, Mark, and my Gleeky Joanna for always being there for me whenever I needed you guys the most. And if I miss anyone I'm truly sorry but just know that I love you guys so much. Now that Glee is going to be over soon I hope that we can all still be friends and just remember the good old times.

One more week thanks to everyone who participates in this little thing, hope you're still enjoying it! Thanks Lilly!
