Adventures in drinking

Well, tonight was the End-Of-Year party. Six staff and nine adult students went to the city to drink and be merry. It was fun. (I'll probably be recovering for the next two days or so.)

On our way out of the bar and to the cars, to head out to the karaoke place, a woman (who had previously been standing around doing nothing) latched onto my arm, saying, かっこいい！来た、来た、面白いクラブ。。。(Cool! Come with me, there's a great club --)

I, of course, gave her my best What. The. F**K. look, staring at her if she was crazy. I managed to spit out the first thing which came to mind, which was ああっ。。。ええとう。。。わたしはにほんごがわかりません。(me no speeky nihoneese). She then asked me where I was from (in Japanese), and I waited an awkward moment before mumbling, "America."

At this point, she shouted, "OH! Hau aaru yuu?"

I managed to extricate my arm at this point, and said, "Fine, but I'm going with my friends now." I jogged to catch up with them, and said somewhat loudly, あれ、見ましたか？

Naturally, the first song I did at Karaoke was "Roxanne."

(I don't suppose I could get someone to forward this to Dawn? She might be amused by it.)
