Last Friday Night

Those of you who have followed me for a while will recall how I have not been one to enjoy going out on weekends. I work until close on Fridays and Saturdays and generally hate overcrowded bars. However, since the dawn of 2012 I have felt a craving to go out like a normal person and go crazy and actually have a social life, but for some reason this seems unable to happen. Whenever I do actually make plans, they fall through, and I end up stuck at home once again.

To express my frustration, I have written a little song. It's sung to the tune of Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night", and covers what my typical Friday night is like. If you would like to sing along, I've included a little karaoke track.

Take my headphones off my head

Throw my backpack on the bed

Turn my laptop on to find

I'm the only one online

Another Friday stuck at home

Nothing happ'ning on my phone

Twitter tries to cheer me up

But I need liquor in my cup

Always hope I might

Have a normal social life

Oh well

But at least I'll make it 

to work without a fight.

Last friday night

Bummed around at home alone

Had a cocktail on my own

Played with Grindr on my phone

Last friday night

Lit the candle on my shelf

Watched a movie by myself

I'm in antisocial hell

Last friday night

Wow, the boredom never ends

No one's playing "Words with Friends"

I think it's time to make amends

With friday night

Feel like dancing til I drop

Always hope it's gonna stop

Whoa-oh-oah

This friday night

Do it all again

This friday night

Do it all again

Epilogue:

I have to emphasize that last night was actually not horrible. My roommate and I hung out and drank and watched Margaret Cho and it was lovely. But I had planned on being out and about and that fell through and I was cranky about it.
