college, karaoke, and beer- good times all around

8:40 a.m.

okay, so far i have three classes that i can add. on monday nights, i'm taking psych 1. on tuesday night, i'm taking that pilates class. and last night i rushed over to see if i can get an add-slip for this television production class. and it turns out that the class wasn't even full, and that they even will end up needing people to join. the teacher said that he never turns a student away from his classes. so that's promising.

i originally wanted to get into film over there, but since i'm working a 9 to 5, it won't fit in my schedule because they're all day-classes. but it's okay, i like this class. i liked it in high school, and i know i'll like it here. although, the kids in the class are dorks. i don't know what it is about A/V classes, but it seems to be a breeding ground for geeks. i'm pretty much a dork and a geek, i've lived my life like that for quite some time. but these kids are bad. worse than i. we're talkin bad jokes, speaking over the teacher, and wrestling with each other. yes. wrestling. apparently they're WWF (i mean WWE) fans. big shock. why was i surprised? oh wait, i wasn't. i think the main reason behind their disruptive behavior was because they've been there awhile, in that class/major or with that teacher, so much that they feel the need to show off their comfortability. disruptive, ha. i sound like a teacher evaluating his class or something. okay moving on.

so i'm very happy to have my classes. i'm not too sure if i want to take poli sci with aisha or take that guitar class on saturday. i really want to sharpen my skills on the guitar and start to un-learn my bad habits of playing. but i know i need poli sci sooner or later, and taking it with a friend will motivate me to follow through. hmm. we'll see. i have til saturday to decide. but for the most part i'm in those three classes. and i felt the need to celebrate. so what is one to do?

go bar hopping in long beach by yourself! yes!

it was fun. i went to mary's and had a beer. it was 9pm and it was empty. people hadn't started coming in yet. so i left. then i went to the fox and had, i don't know, three, four beers? sometime amongst the beer and cigarettes, the karaoke started. so of course, drunk lil ol me had to sing a song. and i did. i recall one of my new year's resolutions was to just go to karaoke night and sing a song spontaneously. just by myself. just go. and i did. and it was cool. i was nervous as all hell, but because i was drunk, it was easier to tune everyone out. so here i am singing, "Everything You Want" by Vertical Horizon, closing my eyes, thinking of m, gettin a little emotional. it was cool. and the great thing about gay karaoke is that you can suck, but you can also not look like you do while you're doing it. and everyone sucked but in a fabulous way! yes, i said fabulous. i've been hanging around the gays too long.

thinking is a little hard this morning. it's taking me about half an hour to write this. i know it says 8:40am at the top, but right now it's like almost 9:30. i drank a little too much last night. i lost count somewhere, i kept withdrawing money, and buying beer.

so i stopped by broadway on my way home, even though it's the opposite direction from the freeway. but i couldn't leave long beach without going to broadway. $1 domestic beer! i knew there was a reason why i felt the need to go by. everytime i go there, it's usually empty. which is how i usually like it. but i guess because of the drink specials, it was packed. i mean wall-to-wall lesbians. i think i like lesbians more. it's just harder when you're out to meet someone. but, c was there. c's this really hot older guy that's a regular at broadway. there's just something about him, i don't know what. but everytime i see him, i want him. and i know he's dating someone. but i always end up trying to get him to go out with me or call me or something. i make a fool of myself. you'd think i get the hint, right? but, he's just too hot to let get away. i think it's the whole rugged look, and he kind of reminds me of an older drummer boy. he has these crinkles on the corners of his eyes that happen everytime he smiles. i call them smiling eyes. and that's such a turn on. and he has this unshaven look. dangerous to make out with, but totally sexy. okay moving on.

i ended up talking to this really cool girl the whole time i was there. we were bitchin about guys, straight and gay, her boyfriend, the scandalous adventures of their relationship dramas and such. it was great. it was refreshing almost. it's really hard to meet someone at a bar and vibe with them and then deal with all that sexual tension and attraction. but as great as our talk was, i had forgotten her name. but i left right after c left. i was drunk and i needed to leave.

likewise with this entry, i need to do some work. i need to tackle this pile-o-mess on mah desk. tons-o-crap-to-do. oh but by saying likewise, i don't mean i'm drunk right now as well, just that i need to leave. okay bye.
