Last week I was invited to a house party and asked to bring this friend of mine. It wasn't like just bring a friend, it was more like bring that guy, just him. Whatever.
My friend and the guy who was inviting us had sex couple times, like last year, but never called each other afterwards. I smelled it in the air that it was a false pretense, I mean, the party thing, but anyway, I was bored and not having any fun.
To investigate, I even asked if it was supposed to be just the three of us or also other people and the guy who invited me said that there were two more guys coming over. He told me to bring something to drink and that we would have a YouTube based karaoke night.
I've always been excited about karaoke, it feels like singing along with the songs I like makes me embrace the meaning of the song itself even more.
Anyway, the friend I was supposed to bring there came and picked me up and we drove there. I was wearing a dramatic look in case someone would take Istagram pictures. Or Hipstamatic. Or whatever iPhone-vintage-looking-pictures nerds love to take these days.
I had a bottle of whiskey in my fake Birkin bag and we got there.
The house smelled like dried semen and lube and the polyester-faking-silk bed sheets were making the whole situation look like a gang bang set from a cheap porn movie. But the screen for the karaoke was huge and there were few bowls of potato chips in different flavors - any occasion can be turned into a party with a bowl of potato chips.
From a weather point of view, that room was like being in a womb. Or in a sauna. I suddenly understood all those poor hookers streetwalking in the middle of August on the highway. And it was too small to be comfortable in ti in five. And the drinking made us feel even warmer. So we all ended up in t-shirts and underwear.
All the songs I was singing were by Lana Del Rey, which brought a hint of sadness into the whole thing. The two guests I didn't know left very early, saying that they were getting too drunk and sweating too much and that they would take a shower and that we could meet at this party later. It was like eleven p.m. I started even thinking that the whole thing was arranged before. I was also getting drunk and I was happy and the thing making me happy was that if we were just the three of us, I could sing more often. And improve my Lana Del Rey performances.
I was singing and they were getting closer.
I was singing and they were all like sit with us.
I was singing and I paused the karaoke and I said "are you joking? I can't sing well if I'm sitting, it's all about the diaphragm".
I was singing and I made the Lana-Del-Rey-dance-move and they were having hands in each other's underwear.
I was singing, but I stopped and I said "you promised me a karaoke party and now we'll have a karaoke party".
I was singing and they were all like just come on the bed and relax with us.
I was singing and I screamed "oh no, no way, I'm not gonna getting into any triangle tonight".
--------------------------------------------------------
Btw, HOW TO MAKE A TRIANGLE.
Materials: a piece of square paper. And something you certainly have, your hands (if you don't, give up).
- Fold the square in half and unfold.
- Now fold the bottom left corner so that it goes over the center fold. Make sure that the edge of the paper goes from the right bottom corner to the center crease. Pinch where the former bottom right corner meets the center line.
- Make a fold that goes from where the pinch intersects the center to the bottom right hand corner, repeat on left side. These will become the two other sides of the triangle.
- Now, sharply crease the right side of the triangle both ways. Then lick the crease and rip (or use scissors).
- Finally you have not only a triangle, but an equilateral one. How amazing.

They stopped then paying attention to me, pulled out their dicks and started sucking off each other.
I was singing and I screamed "I don't care, I'm gonna sing the whole album, bitches". And so I did. And when they were done and that awkward moment, in which they didn't know what to say to each other or to do, came - they started both looking hopelessly at me, like if I could save the situation. But all I did was stuffing my pockets with potato chips. Then I took the bottle I brought and said "have a nice awkward sleepover bitches, I'm gonna party". And I left.
