Do ever have a moment when you start analyzing your life and wondering where exactly you fit into society? I had one of those moments last night while I was being forced to dance a Hillbilly Jig w/a guy that rode his mule to the bar.
Yes you heard me right. Let me share these photos with you so you can plainly see I was not hallucinating.
You see this cowboy happened to grab me on my way back from the bathroom. “Dance with me!” he yells. Since he had been jigging around for a few minutes the whole bar was staring at him and now me. Great...I love being on the spot. In a mere 3.5 seconds I weighed the repercussions of dancing w/him or say no. If I dance w/him, everyone in the bar sees me make an ass out of my self. If I say no to the beloved bar cowboy I make an even bigger ass out of myself. So that's how I ended up jigging w/a mule riding cowboy.
This is just one of the highlights from the night. Let me share.
- Immediately after setting up and starting the general music, we get an onslaught around 4 or 5 over 55ish group. I know, 5 people is not an onslaught to most people but it is to me. They start requesting songs at rapid pace. I just stand there and spin in circles while Zak is taking care of all of them. I really get paid for this.
- The same crowd now decides that they just want to pretend to sing. And I don't mean like pretend like they can sing and sing karaoke. No they just want to hold the mics and sing along to the song. Without the mics on.
- Around 11 the bar owner starts handing out those twirly noisy things that I despise. Immediately everyone in the entire bar starts twirling them at once. I had to escape outside before I lost my mind.
- At midnight they drop a frozen chicken...it's actually pretty cool. I love it. Unfortunately since I was working I had to stay inside and run the sound system while everyone else (excluding the one bartender and the cowboy who were inside) went outside and ate broasted chicken legs and watched the chicken drop. :(
- Cowboy asks me if I have another boyfriend besides him. I just stared at him because I was afraid he might get angry if I told him yes. And then I was scared he would try to kidnap me and take me home on his mule if I said no. So I told him yes and point out Zak. He goes “Oh a white boy huh?” Um...yes?! I'm not sure if he meant that he thought I didn't look like the type that liked white boys? I was confused.
- Oh and some lady in her 60s thought she was my new best friend. She was the one I told you to ignore in the pic above. She reminded us of Aunt Lil from Squidbillies. I hid her face because well, I wouldn't want people to know I was Lil from Squidbillies.
As you can see it was a fun time. I actually am serious when I say that I had a great time. I just question my sanity when I say that!
Happy New Year Everyone!!! <3 I'm celebrating tonight by drinking wine straight out of the bottle. Yeah I'm classy like that!
