karaoke

so i finally did it. insert big cheesie grin here.

kinya, rick and myself met up with my professional singer friend, kevin, at grand billiards to pop my singing cherry. and man did it feel good.

i was surprised to see that many people there... and there are cute guys galore. kevin proved himself queen of the joint by singing don't let the sun go down on me. god he's good. and there was even a girl there who was dressed like me who sang the freaking song i wanted to sing... i want you to want me, done by letters to cleo. freaking resident karaoke liz wanna be. she was good as hell. not that i'm jealous or anything.

after wasting at least an hour trying to decide on a song... i went with what i know. "i do," by lisa loeb. and i think i did pretty well, aside from the shaking mic. too bad kevin had to bail before i went on... but i think that might have been a good thing because it took pressure off of me.

apparently i wasn't the only one who thought i did well... the guy running the show called me up at the end to perform again!! weee! no night is complete without some drama, right?! well this was the best drama ever. i did "right here waiting," by richard marx. not as good as the first one, but i felt more comfortable. and i almost got a little teary-eyed while i sang. sigh.

and kinya topped off the night by singing "thank you," by dido... her breathy little voice is so gosh darn cute... i almost had to make out with her for that one.


i think we have a new wednesday tradition on our hands, folks.
