I went out last night. Nothing wild, nothing crazy - a friend's sister-in-law (I've been to a few parties at her home) turned 30 and everyone went to a local club to celebrate. Normally this place has karaoke, but last night it was an actual band with actual instruments. I would have enjoyed the karaoke more - then I could have at least gotten drunk and sung my patented rendition of "Hopelessly Devoted to You." As it was the band that played (I didn't catch their name - I thought they said "Ludicrous" - but that just can't be) had fairly decent chemistry and appeared to understand the basics. The drummer wasn't very tight and not nearly good-looking enough to excuse his lack of skills. Maybe he was drunk. It also appears that their main musical influence has been Linkin Park. That was so sad. Well, not as sad as the song the lead singer advised was based on his divorce (divorce??! WTF - he looked 22!!) and mainly involved the repeated refrain of "Bitch!" They ended with a cover of "Pour Some Sugar on Me" - which I appreciated. Dancing to cheesy eighties anthems of meaningless sex is a major component of my current attempts to stay off the SSRI's. I wish it had been "Talk Dirty to Me" but I guess I will just have to wait for DP to vid it.

Before the band started I spent most of the evening attempting to explain to Annoying!Boy why I do not want to play online Scrabble.

Annoying Boy: "But F. said you do a lot of stuff online."

Me: "Yes, I do, but I'm not really into..."

Annoying Boy: "Don't you like Scrabble?"

Me: "Yes, of course I do. But when Scrabble drapes its shirtless body over a cross - its ass does not smoke - does it?"

That seemed to shut him up.

I left when I caught the cute guy at the bar eyeing me. I'm fairly certain I looked reasonably cute - I did put an effort into my appearance. He was tall, dark hair and glasses - just my type. Whew - glad I dodged that bullet! Imagine all the arguing I saved myself - and the kids! Why, they would have been insufferable brats. And I am sorry, but his mother just needs to get a life. See? If I had stuck around - that is the future that was staring me in the face.
