Visit my FB fan page to tell me ..... do you karaoke?
Last night might have been the most humiliating experience of my life. I don't know why I did it. I had stopped at work because I wondered how the karaoke clusterfuck actually worked in a restaurant as opposed to a bar. After having a little dinner and a margarita, and watching some of my coworkers and a bunch of other people sing, I went and signed up.
I did it mostly because I was afraid to--and so it was a challenge to myself. I sang my favorite song, although the fact that the karaoke thing had the wrong goddamn lyrics--printing out for everyone to read--really sort of threw me. Also the fact that I couldn't hear myself at all. But mostly that the lyrics were horribly, terribly wrong! I felt bad for the people who had to listen to me. But, now I've done it--of my own free will, rather than last time when I was literally lifted on to the stage--and alone. I'm not proud, though. I'm still mildly horrified at myself!

What was the song?
"Take On Me" by a-ha. :) I figured if I can get their logo tattooed on my ankle, I can sing their song in public, dammit!
Well done for trying at least. I love karaoke, but can't sing worth a damn. I once went up and the lyrics were right but they were playing a completely different version of the song to the one I knew and one they had listed...
Great you took the challenge! I do that, too, for example donating blood although I'm scared of needles. (Well, I'm proud of myself whenever I do it; still, I faint everytime...lol)
Don't be ashamed. Think Cameron Diaz in 'My Best Friend's Wedding!'!
