and then what happened?: Killing Me Softly?

Killing Me Softly?

First off...
Thanks Meloknee for helping me set up my page the way I want it and all that good stuff.

On to the story.
Our condo complex is set up in a big U shape with all the units facing a large grassy area and the pool and clubhouse which has a large glass wall around it. We are right by the pool and in a secluded corner. Generally, very quiet.

But, tonight as I was walking out back with Willow while she went potty, I heard a voice. At first I didn't know what the hell it was or where it was coming from. It almost sounded like singing but there was no music. And with the way it echoed I couldn't figure out which unit it was coming from. So, I meandered down the little path around the pool a bit and then stopped to listen.

Then I heard it. Loud and clear. A melancholy, I don't know all the words but I'm singing from my heart, without music, on my expensive Karaoke machine, while all alone voice.

A man. Singing Killing Me Softly.

The single dentist, who is apparently tone deaf to boot.

I almost pissed myself. The caretaker was out putting the pool cover on and we had a lovely chuckle about how the dentist was killing us but not softly. Poor dentist must have heard us laughing because he stopped singing. So sad.

Now, I am not the friendly type with my neighbors so I only know one or two of them but now I am going to have to make it a point to meet this man and ask him if I can come hang out with him and Karaoke. It seems to me he'd like the company and he will make me sound like the "Ultimate Goddess of Karaoke" in comparison. I mean, I am the Ultimate Goddess of Karaoke but he doesn't know that. Yet.

One year for christmas my family tried to buy a karaoke machine, but they were on backorder, totally sucks, we never got it. I would love to have my own machine at home because I am way to scared to do it in public. It's only happened once and there was great amounts of alcohol involved.
