Helter Skelter by The Beatles is a fun, high energy song. It is also rather tough to sing. Why I decided to sing it at my first ever karaoke experience is beyond me :-)
Yep, I tried karaoke last night. I went with Ben and his friends. Had a blast! And I got so many compliments about my singing (including from Ben, who is a very good singer himself) that I was really on Cloud 9. One girl apparently commented that at first I seemed really shy, but having the microphone in hand really made me come out of my shell. Honestly walking in I had no idea what it was going to be like. But something just made me open up and let loose. Maybe it was seeing Ben do it and wanting to impress him? :-) Who knows. In any case it was great fun, and I look forward to doing it again. I also made a new guitar jamming buddy in Ben's roommate, so that's cool. I won't be coming to Ben's neck of the woods again for a while, but he offered to come down to my area next weekend! Ahh he's so cool. Whoa teenage schoolgirl mode deactivate . . . okay I'm better.
In other news I had a lunch date with Guy # 9 today. He's a scientist, so we had a lot to talk about. It sounds like he had a bit of a quarter life crisis as well (in fact a number of the guys I've dated opened up about that), which made me feel a lot better about mine, haha. At one point he complimented me about how I seemed "natural" in comparison to some guys he has dated, who came across as very nervous. Honestly I'm surprising myself about how non-nervous I've been on these dates.
I talked to Philip on the phone for the first time since I came out to him. After telling him about my karaoke experience he brought up the idea of doing a double date, haha! I told him I'm in the Friend Zone now, I'll have to get upgraded before we start talking about double dating.

You seem so worried that being yourself is not good enough but when you just are being yourself, others seem so accepting and in tune with you -- some of your self doubts really are myths of your own imagination. There's no going back to your old ways with all this positive reinforcement.
Woah, Guy #9 already? I feel like I must've missed Guys #5-8 then, lol. Glad you're feeling more confident in yourself and all. :-)
@ fan of casey: Yeah, that is true, I seem to be finally coming out of the low self-esteem spell that I've been under for far too long. I like that you say there's no going back.
@Aek: I haven't actually written about all of them, just the most notable ones, haha. Maybe a recap's in order.
