Hello my darlings!

So, probably I shouldn't be writing this in my condition, but the truth is, I'm kind of sleepy, and I need to drink all my water before I crash! Today is the day that I turned 19. Now, currently, I'm in a province where 18 is the legal drinking age, but at 19, I am legal EVERYWHERE IN CANADA, BABY. So I went out to a bar and sang karaoke tonight. I had a LOT of fun.

Dearests, I am sorry, because I know my normally coherent Dragonista brain is slightly clouded. I wouldn't say I'm drunk, since I still have my equilibrium, and obviously, can type coherently without typos! But buzzed, definitely! Be impressed with me, because apparently I can hold my liquor damn well. I had 2 pornstar cocktails (google pornstar drink ingredients, if you're curious, 3 pornstar shots (see previous), 1 shot of coconut rum, 2 bottlecaps (google it), and 3 rum and cokes. Look at that list of alcohol! Now look back at what I said before. I'm not even tipsy! Over all, I think the night was successful! If only because now I know that my more conniving friends cannot get me drunk easily. Score!

So, over the night, I don't know how many songs I sang, so I will list them all, and describe my experiences as best I remember them.

So first I sang... fuck what did I sing... Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield. It was the first song I've EVER sang in Karaoke, and I was sooo fucking nervous. My voice was all shakey, and I was so annoyed with myself. but then I got to the chorus and did kickass, and then went back to shakey voice. BUT, there's this one part where you hit a high note and hold it, and I did it and the whole bar cheered! So that was my first song.

Next I sang...Who I am Hates Who I've Been by Relient K. Second time around, my voice was less shakey, but it was still a litttle rough. Still, I love that song so fucking much, I had a great time and almost completely forgot that I was singing in front of people!

The next song was The Middle by Jimmy-Eat-World, and I did exceptionally well, because all my nerves were gone. It was so fun. I love the bit where you're like Ehhvruthing, ehhvruthing. It's a great deal of fun.

Now, by this point I'd ingested a bunch of alcohol, so the series of events is a bit blurry. I sang Think of Me, Phantom of the Opera style, and did pretty well. I think the bar people were like WTMF OPERA?! but I still sang it because I kick ass like that. Then a lovely gay man who I've never met before runs up to me and is like "Let's duet!" so I sang Don't Stop Believing by Journey with him, and also sang If I Never See Your Face Again by Maroon 5 and Rihanna. So two duets with a gay guy. His 'stage name' was Danny Gay. And I loved him, he was so adorable! Somewhere in that mix I sang Fidelity by Regina Spektor, and KILLED IT. I did SO FUCKING AWESOME. I was really proud of myself. I also sang Hotel Song by Regina Spektor because I fucking love her and she's awesome.

And so, this is the story of your lovely Dragonista's 19th birthday party. IN which she got mildly buzzed for the first time in her life, and it took an elephant load of alcohol to do it! I am going to go drink gallons of water now in an attempt to avoid a hangover. Are you impressed with my ability to articulate with that much alcohol in my system? I am.

Much love,

Dragonista. (Also, look, happy, nonbitchy post FTW)
