WOO!!!
If I were to say monkey, what would you say? Please respond in the form of an LJ comment on the answer to this question. It is very important. This counts for 50% of your grade.
So, to quote Zapp Brannigan, "There's only one way to a woman's heart, and her parts beyond. I speak, of course, of karaoke."
So, althought ancalimar has threatened to stage an intervention about my karaoke habit, it seems to be working wonders for my social life. This is evidence to the obvious fact that ancalimar is a douche.
So last night, I went to Oddfellows in Jersey City (interestingly enough, the restaurant downstairs at The Gotham, the building in which Bemily, Norm, ancalimar and I once lived.) And last night I was 1 simple question away from getting some cute girl's number.
But tonight (tonight, the world was full of light) was the karaoke FINALS at the Oddfellows in Hoboken! 14 winners from past Oddfellows karaoke nights faced off in a CLASH OF THE TITANS! And of course, Leah happened to be one of these champions. So me, Leah, Anna, Anna's little leprechaun Paul, Leah's RTHG Wendy, and Wendy's "friend" Bruce all went out to Oddfellows. Now, I won't get too into details because they're boeing, but Leah can sing. Also, she's my wife. So then Anna grabs me by the shirt (a dark red button-down, because I live in Hoboken and it's after Labor Day) and says "the girl behind you has been staring at you, HARDCORE, all night. Fucking talk to her. For the love of GOD, GET THAT NUMBER!!!"
So I use the suggested line "hey, that's my roommate that just performed! She's great right? Cheer! Are you singing tonight?" which is, of course, just a variation on the line that the girl from LAST night used on me. Which seemed to work. Both nights. And then Luis, the bellman, showed up again. And every time I talked to Luis, Anna grabbed me by the shirt again and said "SHE'S STARING AT YOU! Stop talking to the bellman and GET THAT NUMBER!" Meanwhile, this girl (named Jamie btw) was there with her friend Amy, who is very reminiscent of another Amy, and also Jamie's brother John, who is through and through a John - a humble, homely guy, who was in the karaoke finals as well (and has an EXCELLENT taste in music I might add - his selection for the finals: Fall To Pieces by Velvet Revolver, and he did it justice). Anyway, I said I'd spare you the boring details, but this girl is MUCHO hot, a magician (what??), a Red Sox fan (at least she hates the Yankees), was born 4 days (4 DAYS!) after datlowen , and for the first time in Pedro history, I GOT the number! And unlike the girl from last night, I'd definitely call this girl.
Wait. What? Wait, what do I do now? This is foreign territory to me. HELP!
---EDIT---
Leah and all them left before I even got the number, and I left before the results were in, so I have no idea who won. Leah was great and all, but this one guy did an AMAZING rendition of I Believe in a Thing Called Love by The Darkness. If he doesn't win, my whole life is a sham.
