May. 10th, 2002 12:44 amKaraoke night is fun at first...
...but after about 11:00 or so, the people I'm with become indistinguishable from the rest of the mob of drunken idiots. Not that they have any choice.. When there's 3000 watts of a song that hundreds of people are singing along to, there's no chance for conversation. One must resign to screeching "WOOOOOOOOOO!" or something like that.
Would that I were better at nonverbal stuffs, so that I could coninue to interact with people on a personal basis, but eventually it gets stifling. I feel like I'm missing what everyone else seems to have.

Coffeehouses are better for that.

Why I didn't leave with you, Vyus or Cynica, I'll never know.
