“There was 70 and 80 year-olds there, and they were just tearing up some karaoke.”

Friday, we went out, and I haven’t gone out in a while. One of my goals is to one day do karaoke. And I don’t know if it was a symptom of a stressful week, of not being out in a while, but like, [Name] invited me out with his friends to karaoke, and I felt literally nauseous. I’ve never had that reaction of — to an invitation of going out. So, I was like, “I have to go, I can’t become a hermit.” And I’m so worried ’cause I hate like how I’d be perceived, like I’d get so nervous, and then we went there at this dive bar.

We were the youngest table by maybe 40 years. It was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I feel like 40 is like too — it was probably like 50, 60 years, like there was 70 and 80 year-olds there, and they were just tearing up some karaoke. I could not get enough of it. Someone was singing like, the, the, “Beautiful Boy of Company B.” That was insane. I loved it. And then — you’re kidding — this couple, um, sang, “When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore.” And listen, this old lady? Her shirt said “amore” on it. I was like, “You came prepared.”

I haven’t drank since the new year, and I had two beers that night. This was my first like two beers of the year. And it was just one beer down, and I was just like feeling — not like any sort of way, but — yeah, I was just — I gave — some of the old ladies gave me hugs, and that was very cute, ’cause I was in no way drunk, just interactive. The vibes there were excellent. We even had one of like my boyfriend’s older friends with us — not older, he’s like 50. And he was like, “This is the most fun Friday I’ve had in a — maybe ever.” And I said, “You know, honestly? Me too!” I think one of those, like, good coming together of just every age group that night. I love it. I loved it.
