I Would Sing Karaoke Right Now

by Ashley on November 28, 2009

I know I’ve written several posts like this.1  For reasons of repetition and obviousness and not wanting to be judged, I probably shouldn’t say it again.  But, alcohol is amazing stuff.

At least, it has an amazing effect on me.

I hate to be drunk.  It makes me very uncomfortable and I just end up sick.  I love to be tipsy, though.  I guess because I’m so full of inhibitions generally, it’s nice to be free of them sometimes.  Introvert that I am, there’s still a large part of me that loves to talk (this blog is evidence of that) and when I drink, I talk.  A lot.  Not obnoxiously so, I’m pretty sure.  More like a normal person.

Things come to my brain and rather than deliberate on them for forever, I just say them.  I’m less interested in keeping parts of myself hidden.  Really, tipsy me is very similar to blog me.

I’ve never done anything under the influence of alcohol that I later regretted, but that might not last, because as we were sitting drinking last Saturday before New Moon, I thought to myself, “I would sing Karaoke right now.”  And that was a terrifying thought.

  1. Really, check the Related Posts.  It’s all been said before. []

I know what you mean. I still don’t think I would ever do karaoke though.

It was terrifying because you were one shot away from believing it was exhilarating!

I don’t make a habit of drinking. I probably drink once or twice a year, and I’m pretty sure I think ‘tipsy’ looks drunk on me. I’m generally a quiet person, especially in groups of more than three, and I tend not to talk much. I’m an observer. But when I drink I get talkative as well. Silly talkative. I giggle and laugh, and I say stupid stuff. It’s always hilarious, for me at least, but I don’t like the sensation. :/

I pretty much could have written this. I’m the exact same way.

I love drinking, getting tipsy, but not getting drunk. I always feel awkward blogging about drinking though, I’m not sure why.

Also, I love karaoke, only when slightly intoxicated though.

I could totally picture you doing some JT Karaoke. Like “Cry Me a River”. When I make it out to California, we’re going to a Karaoke bar (find one) and you’re singing JT.

Be prepared.

You know, it used to be when I was drunk I would do and say stupid stuff that was out of character. These days the gap between sober me and drunken me is a lot narrower. I tend to do just as many stupid things WITHOUT alcohol… ;)
