kjpepperI went to Silk City's karaoke night with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lostcircuit and morlock last night and had a blast. I'm a bit miffed to find that the picture I took of morlock and EZ clowning around on stage while morlock sang "No Diggity" didn't make it over here, considering I took that one at great peril and ended up getting chased around the bar a bit by both boys, but oh well.
Drunk people are SO DAMNED FUNNY. There was the grizzly old guy that spent a good ten minutes trying his best to tell me that I had a beautiful voice but needed to control my breathing better (which _is_ true... the breathing anyway, I'm still at the state where I refuse to believe anything pertaining to the quality of my voice). There were the multiple guys who tried to hit onlostcircuit by using her order/chaos shoulder ink as an opener (it is an unexpectedly badass tattoo to find on a tiny shy blonde). There was the chick who kept dropping her important possesions all over the bar that I then kept finding, like her keys one minute (I kicked them accidentally when going to the bathroom) and her drivers license the next (I just found that under a bar stool.) Memo, chickie: GET DEEPER POCKETS. There was J's friend EZ, who arrived fucked up and got progressively worse as the evening wore on. At one point he was pretending to turn people gay with his "magic finger." Yeah. And lastly in an unexpected realization that for once he had a designated driver on tap, morlock also proceeded to get pretty got-damn sauced as well. And morlock fucked up is hilarious. It's like Christmas cause why, look! It's a happy fun ball to poke! *giggle*
Apparently people kept tellingmorlock that "your ex-girlfriend is hot, dude." I'd be lying if I said this had no positive effect on my ego.
The actual karaoke bit was fun too. I felt I had a bit of a rough start out of the gate, as I started with Cass Elliot's "Dream a Little Dream" and... I don't know, everyone else told me I sounded fine, but I felt like I was pretty glaringly flat for a few bars. The rest of my songs were better - did "A Little Respect", "Basket Case", and at the end of the night ended with "Umbrella", which I think I rocked the shit out of. I don't remember whatlostcircuit sang much, except for laughing at her for getting stuck up on stage forEVER doing "Groove is in the Heart" which I swear, 90% of the time she was up there, the screen read "[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK - 45 seconds]." But whatever she did sing, sounded pretty damned amazing. morlock sang "Sunday Morning," "Don't Stop Believing" (which is actually his solo in his acapella group), "No Diggity" (with special drunken white homeboy interpretive dance backup from EZ)... damn don't remember the fourth one he did. Oh! "This is How We Do It." His duet with EZ on "Ain't Nothing but a G Thing" was funny as hell too.
Right before we left, EZ, who had passed FuckedUpland and was on the express train to TotallyEffingWasted decided he was gonna to "Baby Got Back" so to help him out (and to distract people when he fell out laughing instead of rapping) I hopped on stage and well... decidedly did not let the fact that I was wearing very tight low riders go to waste. Gods. These days, with the way my body's shifting out, I certainly am quite little in the middle but I got much back. Damn. Probably the most surreal moment of the night was the female karaoke DJ catching me as I came off stage and being all "That was really good!" Er, thanks, lady, I'm glad to know you were entertained by my five minutes of booty shake n shimmy.
Yeah, I know, a bunch of you would have dropped good money to see that, well YOU WERE NOT THERE. HA.
After we managed to get home in one piece I had some nice chilling out time withmorlock. That's the other nice thing about going out, it tends to be a good way to scrub out any mad/annoyed/sad we'd built up. This time was especially needed since on Tuesday we'd had a blow up on IM and I didn't want to even really talk to him until right before we left for the bar. I guess at some point I'll elaborate on this crazy cycle we've been on lately, where we're... not exactly back to normal exactly, but being nice to each other, etc, then something'll happen to piss off/trigger/hurt one or the other of us, we'll fight viciously for a while, chill out, make up, then go back to square one. It's a nasty little merry-go-round, but morlock pointed out that we spend a lot more time in the good part of the cycle and far less time in the bad part than we used to. Which is true... we only spend a couple of days fighting these days rather than fortnights. Progress is a good thing.
I'll see if I can again try to upload one of those pics ofmorlock and EZ for your (but mostly my) amusement and enjoyment.
ETA:
Fuzzy, but amusing.
