okay<\/em>” and move on with it?<\/p>\nAnd how other times they are sincerely concerned and interested when they ask that question?<\/p>\n
It’s always been the latter when Hottie’s asked me the question.<\/p>\n
And it’s just such a comforting feeling when someone looks you in the eye, asks you that question and you can tell they want to know the honest to goodness truth.<\/p>\n
Now when I’m doing good, I tell him that, and that’s pretty much it.<\/p>\n
But when I’m not doing good, I’ll tell him I’m struggling or something, and he’ll listen and talk things through with me.<\/p>\n
Anyways, I’ve been doing really good for the past few weeks, and I told him such.<\/p>\n
So we comfortably and promptly moved on to other topics,<\/p>\n
Spent the next few hours nursing a couple of Coors Light,<\/p>\n
While Hottie did a set of all my favorites from his karaoke collection:<\/p>\n
Mustang Sally<\/em> (Actually, this was a new one of his … I think we’ll pass.)
\nDrift Away<\/em> (He does it better than Dobie Gray or Uncle Kracker !)
\nHold My Hand<\/em> (This was his first karaoke “hit” !)
\nBrown Eyed Girl<\/em> (An all time “classic” of his. Ever the entertainer, he covers the entire spectrum of eye colors during his rendition !)
\nCrocodile Rock<\/em> (A newer song in his set and a blast to dance to while he sings.)
\nAime<\/em> (Wasn’t that nice?)
\nBrandy<\/em> (My personal, all-time favorite Hottie song.)<\/p>\nNow, by the time we got to Brown Eyed Girl<\/em> … all that remained in the bar was Hottie, me, two gay guys who came to hang out with the two lesbians running the karaoke machine. Gawd, Hottie had to feel outnumbered !! lol<\/p>\nWe don’t know the two guys that well, but we all certainly recognized each other as regulars and the two girls running the karaoke machine love us … either because we’re regulars or because we were the only two left in the bar. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Anyways, lately, it’s become much more challenging suppressing my natural Amyness when out and about, even when I’m pretending to be boy.<\/p>\n
So in light of the crowd …<\/p>\n
I was totally comfortable chick dancing to the last four of Hottie’s tunes.<\/p>\n
And got into it more than normal during my renditions of I Think I Love You<\/em>, Breakfast at Tiffany’s<\/em>, All The Small Things<\/em> and It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me<\/em>.<\/p>\nWhew ! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I had an incredibly great time !!!<\/p>\n
The Attention,<\/p>\n
The Time,<\/p>\n
The Laughs,<\/p>\n
The Casualness,<\/p>\n
Was just so nice to experience. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Super thanks to Hottie for making me feel normal for a night,<\/p>\n
And super thanks to Baby Spice for letting me borrow him a few hours ! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Seriously, am I the luckiest t-chica around or what?<\/p>\n
I’ve got a Shaft and<\/em> a Hottie !<\/p>\n(not to mention a (Miss) Daisy, a Spud(dy), a Tenant, a Tiger, a Baked Apple, a ……)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
