So don't touch me, 'cause I'm electric

And if touch me, you'll get SHOCKED (shocked shocked shocked)
 
Last night was karaoke.  I hadn't been in a while, so I gave my friend Brendan a call KNOWING he would be there.  He sounded really pleased that I wanted to come up, and I realized later that I don't know who he would have hung out with if I hadn't been there.  Our circle of pals are just not god-fearing karaoke folk.  Bren opened with his standard Eyes Without a Face by Mr. Idol--my friend Rob sitting next to me pointed out that he kind of sounds like Bill Murray ala SNL lounge singer, and he's right.  I sang Don't Get Me Wrong by le Pretenders, which is fast becoming my signature song.  I like it so.  I kind of wish I would have more energy up there; it's weird, sometimes I get so nervous up there my legs start shaking.  I mean it's effing KARAOKE, and I did theatre for almost 20 years.  Freak.
 
On another note, going out with your guy friend alone probably backfires on the whole wingman theory.
