for the general amusement of everyone...
so last night i went to see billy joel with cathy, fred, and two of their friends. beforehand we went out to dinner and had a lot of wine, so by the time we got to msg everyone except my dad (who was driving) was pretty silly.
so we got to our seats, got some beers, and eagerly awaited the start of the concert. billy joel eventually came on stage, and started doing his thing, and it was very enjoyable. i sat next to fred and we drank some beer together and sang our hearts out and i was having a gr8 time. billy joel also did some white man dances across the stage, which led me to believe (due to my similar white girl dancing skills) that we are soul mates, and i dont care if he's married, he should get divorced and marry me.
anyway... so he played the song "goodnight saigon" which is apparently cathy's favorite, so she decided to get up and started engaging in a white girl dance of her own.
see also: amy poehler in mean girls, when they are doing the christmas show and she is dancing all by heself in the aisle.
the drunk 40ish year old men behind us apparently thought this was really great, and got up and started dancing too. then they started talking with my mom, and when she mentioned to them she had her daughter with her, they asked which one i was, and when my mom pointed to me, one guy was like "YER DAUGHTER HAS A NICE RACK! CONGRATS!"
now, keep in mind fred is sitting next to me, and as i am his only daughter, he is pretty protective. and he is kind of scary, or so i am told.
cathy thought this was hysterically funny, and began cracking up. she was like "she doesnt get it from me, that's for sure!" and stuck out her chest and said some more silly things along those lines. so fred saw this, and esp since the rando was talking about my boobs, was a little upset, and was like, cathy, why dont you hang out for a while. at which point she started yelling at him to stop being such a "poop ass."
siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.
eventually she got a little better. and billy joel made up for it by putting on an awesome show.
when we left, we saw agnes and robert, and my mom felt it necessary to advise robert that i was going home with my parents, that him and agnes would have our room all to THEMSELVES ::wink wink nudge nudge::
at this point i had enough of her shananigans, and told her to cut it out.
after we finally got out of the parking lot and back into jers, my dad decided it was time to go to a bar. but this time cathy was sobering up, and didnt want anymore, so she told my dad to have some drinks and she would drive the rest of the way to old tappan.
my dad decided this meant it was time for father-daughter shot time, and prededed to buy me some shots and then me and him got a little silly. on the way home we made my mom turn off the radio, and we started drunkenly singing "piano man" except it sounded more like
"SIIIIIIIIING SONG PIANO MAANNNNNNNNNN! SOOOOOOOOONG TOOOOOOOONIGHHHHHHTTTTTTT!" in really off-key tones.
does anyone else have a family as weird as mine?
