orso_amoroso: You say Nina Hagen called? Why YES! Exactly!! That’s who I was dressed as that very night! And at least to those who actually know who Nina Hagen is, I must have done a reasonable job of getting that point across. Whoo!
~ Here’s the glamorous version of last Saturday night.
I got to dress up and get paid $100 bucks to sing two songs at a swanky holiday party.
Now, here’s the real version:
I had to waste a good part of Saturday night going to my company party, Robert and I enjoyed the 3 (each) drink tickets and good food. Then, they had a series of drawings for prizes, where I won $100 bucks (yay!), then I was filled with enough liquid courage to do two karaoke songs. I am now a Superstar in the office because most these fools were caught completely off guard by my AMAZING SUPERSTAR SKILLZ! Not many people sang karaoke, but ya know… a little alcohol in me and I’m all over that shit. Since then, I’ve been approached several times (heh), including by the event coordinator who said, “You could have made a lot of money on Saturday, because we were looking for someone to sing during the cocktail hour etc..” something. I told her thank you, but that I wouldn’t have done it anyway. I mean, come on - that shit is LAME. But nice of them to think of me as a lounge-singer background for some dumb party with a bunch of trash folks mingling around and dressed up in their fancy clothes. I’m not ready to embrace my destiny as a lounge singer just yet. ONE DAY!
~ Lunch was fabulous just now. There are these great tortas down at Mexico’s Deli. So good. So delicious. That and a small cup of cream of cilantro and blue cheese soup. SCRUMPTIOUS.
