seriously: best karaoke night EVER!

i picked up Justin and we went to Reedmiester's...before Paul and Shawna arrived, i did "Cowboy" by Kid Rock...then i did "Let It Be"...then "Crazy Train"...the fun really started w/ my performance of "My Guy"...in attendance was this very loud, very homophobic, black man...he had already started yelling stuff about my singing, but when i did "My Guy" his focus changed sharply...apparently i'm "twisted"...and a lot that went down tonight was "not right"...the next performance that i was a part of was w/ Paul, doing "Islands in the Stream"...and our performance was BEYOND homo-tastic! it was on of the best things ever...also, i was (and still am) wearing the perfect shirt for the occasion...it's a nice pink and blue pastel plaid shirt...there were some great exchanges between us and the very loud, very drunk, very disgusted man...i wish i could remember the all the good ones but i'm sure i won't...he was constantly shouting at the girls for 'em to shake their asses and whatnot and at one point Sarah (a.k.a. Annoying Girl) and her friend were dancing on the bar and he was saying stuff about her big ass ("some black woman's gonna come here looking to get her ass back") and the seismic vibrations and he made a reference to it feeling like California...i said something about feeling like i'm in San Francisco, but i don't think he caught it...also, at one point i stuck my head down in Justin's lap...my next performance was some song called, honest to god, "Overnight Male"...it was George Strait (what!? straight!?) i think...Paul sang something and then that guy kept singing after he was done (as he had been doing w/ most every song the whole night...) and i said something about what he was singing to Paul being really sweet...he got all defensive and angry, i think i said something else around this point that was extremely funny but i can't remember...oh yea, before i did the last song i mentioned, i took Justin back home and as i was leaving i told him i'd be back...he said something about not caring and hope i take a vacation...i told him i didn't want him to miss me and then he said "i have a gun! i'll shoot you with my gun" or something extremely funny along those lines...ooh! and back around when i did "My Guy" he said something about how he'd never sing that song and how he "shot my guy last week"...that was great...the next song i did was "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A." and i changed it to "C.O.C.K. in the U.S.A."...i'm not sure if anyone besides Paul and Shawna caught it though...i got to sing right after that and did "Hot, Hot, Hot" (yes, the Buster Poindexter song...) by the end, the dude's shouting leaned progressively more gay as well...he'd be shouting to the guy he was sitting w/ while he was singing...as well as saying stuff about having a ball and other things our juvenile minds stretched innuendoes from...but it was really funny, especially how he didn't realize it...having been so militantly homophobic and then showing a few fruity tendencies...oh yea, one funny thing i said was when he was talking to Paul and asking why he was so "twisted" or something...i said "he's not twisted, he just has a few bones in his closet..." Allison (the barbiedoll-model chick that runs the karaoke) made him (he had been refusing) sing a few times...that was funny...and at the end she kept making me sing a bunch in a row, which ruled...and i guess she had been packing up so she was only doing the songs that were already in the computer or something and the last song i had wasn't in there so i said she could pick something else, it didn't matter...i got Paul up there w/ me and i must say that now i actually have some respect for her 'cuz she picked THE most perfect song imaginable...it was called "Never Been This Far Before" or something like that by Conway Twitty...great lines about making love all night and stuff, and after every verse it said "BOM BOM BOM"...it was quite the fuckin' spectacular night...oh fuck! also, at one point the dude was saying something about all these beautiful, pearly pussies would be sitting out and i wouldn't even know what to do w/ 'em...

afterwards the plan was to meet up at Paul's house...i went to go to a gas station to get a coke...the Mapco on Central was, as always, closed w/out any notice on the door (bastards) so, as there aren't really any others in the immediate area, i drove to the Exxon on Poplar...on the way...i hit a car! i was on Cooper crossing Madison...the light was red and i was stopped, pulled up pretty far...the light was taking a long time and sometimes, if you're up too far, the sensors don't pick you up and the light won't change...so i decided to back up to the line, and after checking my mirror, proceeded to do so...it wasn't long before there was a loud thunk as the car stopped moving...i didn't see the car that had pulled up behind me...i'll blame it on the rain...(it was raining really badly...) i got out as did they, she looked at the front of her car and said "it didn't do shit to my car" she asked me about my tail light and i said it was already like that...so they were like nothing's damaged, let's just go...so that worked out well for me...but i still have a big "DOH!" across my forehead right now...when i made it back to Paul's i got to meet the puppy...oh god it's so fucking cute!!! it's getting big...speaking of big little animals, w/ the insane amount of rain bringing the rats out of the sewer, as we were sitting in the house, Shawna noticed a fucking rat in the doorway (the door was open) i turned around just in time to see a shadow w/ a big tail turn around and go running back out onto the porch...it was a pretty big rat...but a pansy not wanting to risk too much away from his (presently flooded) precious sewer...this is all...now i'm home...bed soon...
