How bout a round of applause?

In Pursuit of True Happiness

So I went to an open mic restaurant with my friends Nancy and Charita. We had so much fun that day. First we went to Apple bees to eat and then we went to the club called Five Spot. So we went to that spot and it was cool, real dark and a band playing. The band was pretty nice. So we order some drinks and we just sat there....yeah, we sat there...It seemed that there was no one that looked like our "type of crowd" there. So we sat there....So about 12 am, a bunch of black people came rushing the club. Ok, they didn't rush the club, but they sure did come out of no where. So we were like this is more like it. LOL...well they started the open mic and i didn't wanna sign up. Im not really shy when it comes to singing in church but, singing outside is real scary. So finally the sign up lady kept coming to our table and insisted that we sign up. Apparently a guy heard us singing in the background of someone singing on stage....nosey people! Anyways, I decided to sing. So i had to think of a song to sing with the band before they called me. I thought of my look and my twin..Rihanna. I love the song Take a Bow. But, wait! I don't know the second verse like that. So i tell the lady and she makes this girl write it out for me. So they call ,my name a second later and the girl is not finished writing it out. I was so nervous. Im shaking in my pants and at the same time Im walking on stage without the words. OK, so I called the lady and said Where are the words?! So she ran and got the words...Ok I was ready...
"You look so dumb right now, standing outside my house..." and then came SILENCE! Oh my gosh, now I forgot the first verse. Who looks so dumb right now? ME!! Any who, Im such a G...I told the band stop and start over. lol...omg I really just did that. So the band started over. "You look so dumb right now, standing outside my house..." SILENCE! Whatever I continued. The rules say that you have one chance to make a fool of yourself. Ok i made that up but so what? Now I kept singing and I eventually got thru the song. I did real good!! "How bout a round of applause, a standing ovation?"
