Bummed out

What can I say?

It's been kind of a bummer.

Day 3's coming to an end, and I've spent yet another day just trying to recover.
There are so many things that I'd wanted to do,
But this persistent headache is really making me reach the end of my patience, here, with myself. 

It's hard to function when you're constantly needing rest, rest, and more rest
When the one truly needed for the heart isn't attained, not at all.

I should be happy with the relaxation that I did get I suppose
The karaoke date was... How do I put it, unpleasant, to say the least.

I'd gone with the wrong person amongst our trio.
The kind that overpowers and thinks only of herself,
The kind that made it something that consisted mostly of Chinese and Japanese songs that neither of us knew yet still tried to sing along,
The kind that makes you feel uncomfortable and awkward when you select a song that you wanted and which is more accessible for the group.

Sure karaoke is about singing new songs,
But it's about enjoying ourselves, too.

You are the kind that analyses our voices (which was great when I almost entered into a singing competition with you, but it only makes my quiet friend conscious) and judges me for trying to have a good time. Please, were you trying to record an album there? 'You're singing too high', 'I'm trying to hit that note' or whatever. What's wrong with singing Wrecking Ball like some dying chicken when it's funny to us.. Psh.

Uh, well, if your friend is giving in for your sake,
Shouldn't that be reciprocated?
This is a shared session, you know. Don't hog it.

Although maybe if I had gone into rage-mode I'd have changed things,
That's not the way it should be.
Shouldn't you have some EQ and less selfishness?


I know how this sounds,
But I've honestly, honestly looked forward to this for as long as I can remember.
Yeah, I'm that kid; and the way you've spoilt this first experience for me kinda -should I use it?- kinda sucks.
I'm a little disappointed and sad, if you don't mind.

I didn't even have much of a fantasy for this; I just pictured loads of crazed laughter and the type of singing that ruins our lungs.
Oh, well.

I almost left halfway through cuz I was so done with you, but in Mandarin we have a saying that equates to never letting things get as dire. In other words, leave you a way to remove yourself as gracefully as possible from a shitty situation.
This makes me sound like a greater, more mature human than I actually am,
But you get the idea.


So.

What can I say,
These past three days have been

Kind of a bummer.
