(no subject)
today was loads of fun. i feel like i haven't had this kind of fun in a long time.
first of all i met up with ryan on bedford ave. we did a bit of apartment hunting because he's desperate to be back on his own again. we found a couple of good places and he took down their numbers and whatnot. afterwards we came over to my apartment and hung out a bit. we played with my kitten and this time i do mean my new cat. he played some bright eyes for me on my guitar which made me cream my pants. i love boys and guitars. yeah, so after some talk about bright eyes, porn collections, guitars and promises from me to send him some of my written work, he decided he should head on home. so i walked him to the newsstand so he could buy the ridgewood times and ledger and then to the piragua stand so he could get one. i had to translate everything he and the woman said since they didn't understand each other. he tried to ask her how much it cost and it was so adorable because he said it all white and with an accent and the woman didn't understand it. i gave him an E for effort though which he greatly appreciated. yeah, so then i walked him to the bus stop and waited with him for it. he gave me a sweet little kiss on the cheek goodbye. nothing but cutestuff.
after that i went to get a slice with jo and her sister and her friend. oh, how i miss rosa's white slices. yum. we drove joanna's sister's friend home and picked up our friend jenny. then we picked up emmy jo and decided to pop into our favourite ridgewood white trash bar, glenlo. it was karaoke night and we were just in time for the fun. a lot of the people there take themselves and their singing way too seriously and look like assholes. karaoke is all about being silly and having a good time not putting your all into a cheesy skid row song and expecting an outburst of applause. so emmy jo, jenny and i did two songs. we had no shame and sang the divinyls' i touch myself and britney spears' crazy for all of glenlo to hear. my voice sounds like that of a drag queen and my throat hurts just a tad but it was worth it.
after karaoke was done and over with we drove everyone home and since i got to ride shotgun i also got to be the dj. i found all of the happenin' tunes and was having a great time. i stuck my hands out the window to feel the breeze and even stuck my head out a little bit so that the wind could rush through my hair as i sang at the top of my lungs. yes, yes, i am a big dork but i was loving every minute of it. and i was saying how it was the first time in awhile that i've really felt alive. that sounds pretty lame, i guess, but it was something about driving fast with good music on and being with some of my best friends with the wind hitting my face that just made me feel whole again. i miss summer nights like this.
