Went to karaoke today

Best five hours and $18 I've spent in a while.  Although it pains me that a lot of the songs I want to sing aren't available on the machines, I'm grateful enough that there is a place near my uni that has Japanese karaoke machines.

Towards the end of the night we ended up singing themed songs when two songs with "Flower" in them (the vocaloid song Fire◎Flower and Flower by L'Arc~en~Ciel? I might be wrong on the last one) came up in a row. We turned this into a game and everyone had to take turns putting a song that was flower related (it either had to be a type of flower, a plant that flowered or a song with the word flower in it).  I ended up forfeiting when I put in "Flower Rock" by FT Island despite not knowing it very well and was unable to sing it.  

We are planning on making a game out of this.  I'm looking forward to it.

the cranberries' "zombie" is a really good karaoke song*

*if you want 75% of the audience to think you're a major weirdo and possibly leave the bar.

So build me up Buttercup, don't break my heart

Another karaoke time with Educ feat. Gino! We really sing our lungs out and danced like we own the place. We were in a room, though. But still a big part of the door is a glass. I can see the people outside laughing, smiling and staring at us. But we don't care, we're having fun. A good time, after all the hard work and a job well done. Partyyyyy!

It's my neighbors' karaoke night

Time to blast my speakers on. Or if I'm in a good mood, time to put my earphones on.

I swear, the whole The Corrs would slit their own throats when they hear my dear neighbor's rendition of "Breathless". Yes, it's that bad.
