Elvis is in the building!!

Ok, for people who know me, i think this will come as a surprise.

I sang today. In front of strangers!! A pub full of strangers!! Woohoo!! And i won a watch for the singing(not as important as the singing itself though)!!

I got up in front of everyone, and i sang 'Can't buy me love' by The Beatles. :) :D (is there an emoticon to depict exhilaration?)

I know, i know, it doesn't seem like such a big deal, but i am terribly terribly afraid of doing anything that might make me conspicuous. I always try to stay in the shadows. But when i got a chance to sing a Beatles' song, i couldn't resist!! :D

So yay!! I am very proud of myself today. Important first step. i even asked to sing a few more, but they wanted to give everyone a turn... :(

Anyway, i don't know what's next. Maybe... dancing?? :P

Also, Odie won a bottle of wine in the lucky draw. But it was a big letdown. They handed out a fender and a yamaha!! Damn it!! We reely reely wanted the guitars!! Who cares about a crummy bottle of chardonnay!! :( And you know what might have been a consolation? getting my weight in beer which also, some other idiot won(very very small consolation, true, but still consolation. I might not have remembered the guitars after 150 cans of beer. :)). Oh well, i guess i'll settle for the free watch and the ability to make a fool of myself in front of other people.

Totally worth it. :)

@Mottled - Thenk you thenk you (bowing)!!

@muddman - No da... i don't think anyone took videos. Though one of the guys might have taken a photo. Morons!! One day, when i'm the #1 rock star of all time, they'll wish they'd taken the bloody video :P And dude! How'd you guess da?? :P I was pretty confused about what to sing, but after a few stimulants(and the fact that only the first few guys to sing could win prizes), i closed my eyes, picked a random song from the beatles list and went for it!! Yup, you heard me, i chose it myself!! :D

Maybe this means i've changed. I might even pick the side-dish when we eat out at gate this weekend... :D
