You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

I would totally clap for Heather. And that is a very fun song.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I like "Fever". The Pochahontas verse makes me laugh.

Always Anti-fascist!

The first time I ever did that, I got so nervous people thought I was just legless(ha!) drunk.ETA: karaoke, not "Fever"...something by Bonnie Raitt, if memory serves. nope...stage fright. Hec, I saw a preview for that Irish gimp flick last week...I have to see, mos def. If nobody dies in it, I'll tongue kiss everyone in it, I swear.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

If you get drunk enough, and your friends are also drunk enough to be willing to sing back-up, "Leader of the Pack" is wonderfully fun to perform. It works better if your mostly-drunk boss in the back-up band makes "vrrroom-vrroom" motorcycle noises in the appropriate places.

Not that I would know anything about it, of course.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

It was kinda fun though, and people clapped! I don't think I'd do any other song though. That one's a good one for smokers.

"Son Of A Preacher Man" and "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" also do nicely.

If I only had a brain...

Yeah, a couple of times. I guess I should send the husband into the attic when he gets home.

Good idea. That way the axe murderer will sate itself on him.

This is the color that I want: [link] I don't have the faintest clue if it would even look good on me, but I like it, and there is some reddishness in my hair, so it shouldn't be too bad.

Singing is fun. Everyone should sing. In my class last night, Leonard Maltin decided that he should make us sing, so the short we watched was "She Reminds Me of You." Which was awesome. And a bunch of us actually did follow the bouncing ball, and sang along.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I've never done karaoke. Every time I even vaguely contemplate it, I start brooding about how much my voice has gone downhill since my long-ago music classes.
