In the mood for randomness

I felt like doing something random today. I was just so bored at work and bored of the prospect of going home, watching American Idol (still rooting for Adam Lambert, though it's down to the final 3 now and they're all really good, so anything can happen now, but he'll still rock on even if he gets the boot so I really don't care) and then thinking of the prospect of spending another night bumming around at home was so boring. So I started thinking of what would be a good random thing to do for a lone person who's too lazy to go too far and doesn't want to spend too much. Few thoughts passed through my head:

- Go to Subang Lake with a mat, and lie down on the grass to look up at the stars... or just up at the sky, knowing how stars can disappear in our KL sky.

- Round up some gal pals and go visit a cheap karaoke joint along Old Klang Road that plays nothing but old songs (did that once, but it wasn't random!).

- Go to Sunway Pyramid, find a nice open place to sit and just watch everyone that passes me by.

- Visit a gay bar and see what gay people do there. And maybe pretend to be gay, if I feel adventurous, and run away as soon as things get too weird.

I might have gone for the last option except that considering I'm pretty straight, I have no idea where to find a gay bar (although someone once told me there are some around Subang... hiding... somewhere...). Instead I 'almost' decided to opt for something more normal, such as watch Star Trek and then play some DDR afterwards at Summit, just coz' I haven't played it for while. Still, the thought of going alone was also kinda boring, so I tried my luck to see if any of my friends were in a random mood as well, as posted my plans on my Facebook and Gtalk status.

Well, I didn't get any takers for that plan, but one friend did call me up after he saw my Facebook status, and coz' he'd already seen the movie and had just come back from work pretty late and going for dinner, I ended up going to hang out with him instead. Which is somewhat normal, but random in a way coz' while driving to meet him, he still hadn't decided where to eat even up to when I almost reached where he was, and we were blabbering away on the phone for a good 10 minutes or so about where to eat and other miscellaneous nonsense while I was driving from my house to his location around SS15. Yeah, the indecisiveness might have been annoying on other days, but today was fine coz' it filled my need for randondomness. :) We finally ended up going to good ol' boring Asia Cafe.

I suppose in the humdrum of everyday life, which can get rather repetitive and boring, a little spontaneity every now and then is refreshing. And my act of small randomness has sort-of inspired a bit of a hair-brain idea... which I'm not sure if I'll actually carry it out since it's new and usually my hair-brained ideas lose steam after a while. We'll see how it goes if I actually carry it out. ;)
