Karaoke

Background: about 5years ago my now husband and I were meeting his roommate and his roommates girlfriend for dinner at a common burger place. This burger place was next to a sushi place an they saw the sushi and decided to eat there. We joined them to chat after our meal and were about to leave as karaoke night was announced to the near empty restaurant. I remember being terrified there was no way I would ever do karaoke.

Now I should inform you I am totally gone deaf and I know it. I was also scared by my 4th/7th grade music teacher. I do not sing.

Fast forward to LAST Friday. We were discussing plans with friends for tonight....as I was watching my best friends wedding on tv...and the karaoke scene. It is no secret I am lacking on new things...it had to happen. So tonight at dinner i mentioned it to my friends, calls the place I found (small low key bowling alley lounge) and verified...begged my friends ANY friend to sing with me and we drove a few blocks to the bowling alley. I had finally decided to sing alone one time thst is it.

The event: I sang 2 piña coladas....not sure what happened but the laughter made my voice supe scratchy....horrible'. But funny, over, off the bucket list.

Another friend sang his go to karaoke song and then one ordered another drink so we ended up signing longer...almost did a duet but it didn't happen. Really the plan was in sing and leave, should h e stuck with it.
But we didn't, and if we go again I would sing I hopes of not having a croaky voice. At least I know I can't sing. One of my friends tried to tell me otherwise. To him I say: people like you are the reason people embarrass themselves on American idol....
