I’m freezing tonight. I just can’t get warm no matter what. I went to Karaoke with my friend Adrienne at this little dive bar, Liquid Zoo, in Van Nuys tonight. It was freezing in there. I sang a few new songs (new to me) tonight: Hole – Doll Parts, Toad the Wet Sprocket – Good Intentions, and Red Hot Chili Peppers – Otherside. I also sang some ones I’ve done before: Toad the Wet Sprocket – Whatever I Fear & Alice Cooper – Ballad of Dwight Fry.
It was pretty fun over all, but I made the mistake of telling the karaoke host that I was recently broken up with. She was at the bar, and we were chatting. It just came out during conversation. Man, was that a bad idea! She announced to the entire bar that I am recently single – more than once! Ugh. I had guys hitting on me all night. I was so tired of finding excuses not to talk to them or nice things to say to humor them, but still show them that I wasn’t interested. Truly exhausting. I couldn’t wait to leave after that. Adrienne & I stayed til after 1:30am, as she had one last song down the list.
Also, it was 57 degrees out tonight. I think the bar didn’t have air or a heater, just air from the outside. I was shivering. Now that I am home, I am still ridiculously cold. I wish I could convince the cats to sleep on my feet!
I’m off to bed now. I can barely keep my eyes open.
