More amusing Viking encounters

[missroserose]

I went to the Viking tonight as usual, but unfortunately I was mostly alone - Monica was tired and stayed home, and Lydia wasn't feeling great so she holed up early. I had a pretty decent time on my own, though, and returned home with some amusing stories to relate.

After I was done dancing, I headed back to the karaoke area, to find that I was being followed by one of the women who'd been out there. She'd obviously had a bit to drink, but was still speaking clearly (something I couldn't say for all the singers). She approached me, and the conversation went something like this:

"Hey, why're you leaving?"

"I'm done dancing for now."

"Oh. *pause* You're really beautiful, you know."

"Thank you!"

"No, I mean really. You looked so good out there dancing...are you a stripper?"

"Nah. Thought about it, but my mother would kill me."

"That's really too bad. You're so beautiful...I'm straight, and I've never had a woman turn me on as much as you."

*trying not to laugh, since that would be impolitic* "Well, thank you."

"I'm going to go dance more. See you."

I also had one dude tell me he liked my dancing. He invited me to join his table (it was his family reunion week) but I've never been too fond of hanging out with large groups of people I don't know, so I gracefully declined. Fortunately he was a good sport about it. Persistent, though - he must've come back and talked to me three different times. But he was respectful, so I didn't mind.

I sang "Centerfold" the first time around, then went and did some (apparently lust-inducing, and hopefully calorie-burning) dancing. When I got back, I was going to do "Hit Me Baby One More Time" for the irony value (I was dressed pretty far away from Britney's infamous schoolgirl outfit), but apparently that song didn't make it through the migration to their new system, so I ended up singing "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" since that's what came up. It was pretty fun - it's hard to go wrong with Pat Benatar, and I got some good feedback from the crowd.

Earlier today, I went to Alaska Dames to look for some fun clothes I could wear out, since I only had two or three before. I found some good tops, including an underwired tank that does nice things for my cleavage (worn tonight, which might've had something to do with the number of encounters), and a cute 80s-style wide-neck shirt that I could probably also wear to work. And in a fit of optimism, I dropped $5 on a way-cute little belly shirt - it's a sleeveless v-neck that comes down to just under the ribcage, and will really look quite flattering if I can lose a bit of weight around the midsection. So my goal is to be able to wear it by spring.

I confess, I can't picture you as a stripper. You've always seemed more the "naughty librarian" type to me.

One agrees.

Someone else agrees.

Well, one of these is a job, and the other's a theme. There's no reason one can't combine the two, especially if one's a broke college student and needs cash. :)

Hmm...naughty librarian stripper...I approve this message!

I wish I'd been there! Sounds like fun!

I did got to Henry's and see The Bastards play. It wasn't very busy and the band had some technical difficulties at first (their first time playing that venue and they were short 1 member) but once they got the glitches sorted it was a lot of fun.

I would have liked to hear your renditions of those two songs esp Centerfold :)

Cool, I like The Bastards. Not so fond of Henry's, though. Oh well.

I could've used some help on the "na na na na na na"s at the end of Centerfold too - most of the song is fine, but the last bit is pitched just a tad low for my voice. I made it through okay, but it was a bit of a strain. ;)
