My pinky is making my motor skills all downsy.

My finger is a little better today, thank you everyone. I still can’t touch myself drink tea with it but whatever…baby steps.

So, this weekend I have to go out to every karaoke place in the WORLD for an article I’m working on for The Mercury and it is going to be like 850 billion degrees. However, since becoming a militant vegan activist 5 days ago, all of my summer clothes totally fit me again, so I won’t be forced to wear a sweatshirt to hide my jelly belly. I hate that term.

Anyway, tonight I’m going to The Hutch and Yen Ha and maybe also The Ambassador. But here’s the rub - I can’t drink very much because I have to keep my stamina up for the next three nights. Plus, I’m vegan now and if I get all drunk everyone will be able to laugh at my drunkenness and look down on me and if I can’t be the one looking down on the people then WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING THIS FOR?

And tomorrow night I get to have karaoke girl’s night, whee!!!!! Melissa Lion, myself, and my new Superfan, Erica are getting together for one night of ribaldry and excitement! I hope Erica remembers not to look Melissa directly in the eyes and also to always, ALWAYS bow her way out of the room.

I’m very excited to meet my Superfan. I only saw her for a split second on NW 21st, but she looked pretty. And she’s funny. And she’s from the east coast. And she thinks I’m like a god or something. And now she knows where I live.

What could go wrong?

Hahahaha.

I’m scared.

NO! No. I really am looking forward to the three of us hanging out. Erica seems super cool. I am a little worried about ordering drinks and things because usually Dane takes care of that and I’m afraid I might just sit somewhere for an hour before I realize I’m not actually drinking anything and no one cares. And I’ll miss Dane. I’m sappy.

I wish Crissy could be with us. It would be so awesome and we could all have a big pillow fight and take pictures and Ken would have a heart attack. But in a good way.

And I haven’t told Superfan and Melissa this yet, but a friend of mine who I haven’t seen in TWO YEARS is going to be at The Alibi with her friends and so we’re going there too.

So many girls. I bet we all get our periods, like, fucking immediately.

EW, simultaneous spontaneous periods!

Messy.

I’m SO jealous. Bend doesn’t have any proper karaoke facilities. And you get to HANG OUT WITH MELISSA! So not fair.

Luckily I’m working from home today, so I can pout and nobody will see me.

Has it really been 2 years? Holy crap. See you at the Alibi tomorrow!

Blogging isn’t supposed to make you any new friends. You must be doing something wrong.

Also, I’m sure Erica is very nice, Kiala, but when, I mean if I were a killer I would totally lure people into my modified killing room by playing the fan card. So bring a whistle. If you don’t have a whistle, bring a gun.

Does your bruised pinky throw off your sense of equilibrium?

You can’t see me right now but I’m crying because I won’t be there and how fun would it be to celebrate June birthdays together?

And how fun would it be to watch my husband have a heart attack, in a good way.

Yay for us!

Okay, that was a lame comment. I mean, still yay for us! But I can do better.

Here goes: OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU WEARING??????????!???

And Nels, please protect the brand — when referring to me, it’s Melissa Lion. AND NEVER LOOK ME IN THE EYE.

I’m going to wear a dress. Not like, a prom dress, but a sundress kind of thing. And flip flops.

Because it is going to be eleventy billion degrees.

OMG, what are you going to wear?!!

11 melissa lion { 06.28.08 at 10:27 am }

A dress too. And sandals of some sort.

And my beer goggles.

12 melissa lion { 06.28.08 at 10:28 am }

Are we filming or live blogging or anything? If not how will the internet know when we’ve said something clever or how cute we looked????

13 kiala { 06.28.08 at 10:30 am }

Oh, yes, we should totally film stuff. Bring your flip camera.

PLEASE.

14 erica { 06.28.08 at 10:43 am }

um, ladies - i don’t own a dress! (fat knees, i don’t really wanna talk about it.) how will people know we’re together?!

15 stoogepie { 06.28.08 at 10:57 am }

I hope there are pictures.

How come guy bloggers never seem to get superfans? Because I would be planning an entirely different evening if I had a superfan. But maybe that’s what you have in mind, too….

I really hope there are pictures.

16 melissa lion { 06.28.08 at 11:04 am }

Flip camera = yes. Erica, they’ll know we’re together because we will be having the BEST time and LAUGHING and people will be BEGGING for all of our autographs. And because we’ll be riding around on an elephant while small Thai children fan us.
