Flight Risk -- Vacation!

In less than 24 hours I'll be striking another risk off my 2011 Take More Risks Bucket List! Although Winnipeg isn't considered a risky vacation to go on, the last minute booking and lack of planning is what I consider a risk in this case. Strap yourself in cause we're flying by the seat of our pants!

Popping My Cherry-Oke

On the night of March 31, 2011, I sang karaoke for the first time ever. I am no longer a virgin of this crazy world of singing another's song in a room with drunken strangers. And thus, I am awesome.

Never before have I experienced such an overwhelmingly positive response to the phrase: "Excuse me, virgin coming through." Yet, I used this line tonight as I made my way to the mic.

There is nothing more that can impress a gal, other than applause and flowers, than having a stranger tap you on the back to let you know you are awesome. Or to have a random person say, "Hey it's the girl with the voice!" as you pass by them. What a rush; an epic injection of confidence. Possibly not as true in the sobering light of day, but I shall take awesome - thank you!

Karaoke, I might just see you again my friend.

And with that, I officially check another item on my 2011 Take More Risks Bucket List.
