you just never know

say you have this one friend whom you’ve always sort of admired. from what you can see, she’s uber-intelligent & successful–both personally & professionally. she’s knowledgeable, cultured, & very well traveled. this friend is always really busy so you hardly ever get to see her, but when you do, she always has a hug & a laugh waiting for you. this friend is so cool that whether you ever say it or not, you’re probably a little intimidated by her.
so you find out recently that when this friend has had any spare time over the years, she’s sung in a band of fun-loving, talent-filled neuro-veterinarian super people. you’re invited to hear them perform at an unbelievable house on a lake one saturday night.
you get there, you eat a lot, you drink a little, you’re introduced to all her impressive, yet warm friends & band mates. you enjoy yourself immensely before the band even starts to play.  then the time comes for you see her perform. you’re sooo proud of all the talent you’ve heard of, but are only just now able to witness for yourself…what’s your favorite part of the night?  when this distinctive & sophisticated friend sings the hinges off the bluesy song “meet me with your black drawers on.” and what do you do while she belts it out? you dance.
