a long, long night.
i'm not one for karaoke in a bar, where everyone can see me and hear me sing. but maybe it was the consumption of three shots of jagermeister and two bottles of mgd (within a span of an hour) that allowed me to do exactly what i was reluctant to do.
i stood up in front of a crowd of strangers and sang pretty woman by roy orbison to deidra. it wasn't as bad as i thought i would be. not like cameron diaz in my best friend's wedding. luckily for me, char, deidra and her friends (stefana, barbara, gwen, ann-marie and robert) were there to cheer me on. it was pretty easy since all i have to do was dart my loving gaze from the television monitor to deidra's pretty face. and soon after, the song was over.
i definitely would do it again. in fact, i was going to sing another song; don't dream it's over by crowded house. but it got to be too late, and there were way too many people ahead of me. maybe next time.
however, the other highlight of the night was when char put on a wonderful, albeit quiet, rendition of dusty springfield's, son of a preacher man. she got the crowd into it, and it was awesome seeing her in action. very cool.
i'm tired, but i don't feel like sleeping. maybe cuz the adrenaline is still pumping from earlier tonight. i'm glad i went. it was great fun.
