Karaoke fun!

I went out on the town last night. No really I did. I hit the city pubs like I was 18. Ok so not really, it was just dinner and karaoke but it was in a city pub; I did drink and I did get home late…1:00am, which is way late for me.

I work in the city so generally I hate to socialise in there too. I would rather stay in the suburbs myself. Give me a BBQ at someone’s house or a few drinks at the local pub. The thought of hitting the town these days just makes me cringe.

I look back on my hay days and wonder how the hell I did it. I simply can’t imagine going out two to three days straight, drinking a lot and staying out to all hours. I don’t have the stamina for that anymore. Plus, I’m too sensible. I worry way to much when I’m out and see ‘younger’ people behaving dangerously. I hate fights, and big groups of young people just scare me. I think it’s the mother in me. When you're younger and free you don’t tend to worry about that stuff.

Leaving my anxieties aside I had a really great night last night. We were celebrating the 30th of another friend – there will be quite a few of those this year. My besty organised it. Ordinarily I’m not a huge fan of karaoke although on my trip to Melbourne last year I kind of fell in love with Singstar for the PS2. There is nothing like a bit of vocal dancing when your home ALONE! Obviously, karaoke at home is far different to that in public especially when one is totally tone deaf and incapble of staying in tune. However, my besty assured me it would be the best night and it was. It was so much fun...I'll definitely do it again but only after a bottle and half of wine.

Speaking of my besty, the thought arose, that I don’t mention her much in here. I don’t know why that’s the case. When you think about it, it really does reflect poorly on me as a best friend, that I don’t acknowledge as much as I should, the great things she does for me. She truly has a heart of gold - one of a kind.

I feel terrible that I didn’t mention she came over on the day I moved in, my 30th birthday, with a bottle of wine and some chips, just to keep me company. We chatted late into the night and it was a lovely end to what could otherwise be classified as a not so fun day. She does that kind of stuff often. She has thrown me surprise parties, baby showers, a hen’s night and the list goes on. She’s given speeches at all my important events, including my recent 30th. It wouldn’t be a party if she didn’t give a speech. I love that quality about her.

Anyway, I guess I digressed somewhat from my initial post. I guess I wanted her to know that she truly is a special friend…one in a million…my best friend. Love ya Tash!
