Two versions of this song exist,
one from the soundtrack to Cars,

Would you be willing to get me to Desoto? I was. I just had put off a couple errands until Friday, and I accomplished one, so that is something. I left ruts where I pulled over to make a call.

Falling in Love by JAEneth on DeviantArt

I took 83^rd Street East and I missed, of course, the turn for Kill Creek Road, but I visited a McDonald’s where a former coworker from Arby’s was pulling away (I-I could both hear and see her car), and I was greeted at the pickup window by former manager from Arby’s, who told me Scott had passed away from an embolism and wished she had heard when the service had been.

I missed the Party 049

When I did not go to Laser Rangers, Whirlwind weekend 034, I was invited to join other friends at Naka-Kon yet I decided against, and last weekend I decided against Stealth Con, and I am going to disappoint some friends this coming weekend, too.

Sunday night, I visited Josh and told him I only knew about The Most Popular Girls in School from a parody using characters Homestuck, and no offense to my friend who also likes Showbread, which was then parodied with Equestria Girls, which Josh said was kind of sad.

This is why we can’t have nice Things

Updates on 98.1 FM KMBZ: Overland Park Fire Marshall says cause of massive fire has been ruled accidental due to welding.

Wooden and decorative, shake shingles are inherently flammable and why fireworks are not legal in Johnson County, Kansas. Yesterday a fire started by accident burned down an apartment complex under construction and several nearby homes in Overland Park. Three firefighters were injured, but there was no loss of life.

The location was east of Johnson County Community College and west of Corporate Woods. High winds and dry conditions let the fire spread.

“Inferno guts apartment building, burns 12 homes in Overland Park”

The way my mind works I could not help to think about The Most Popular Girls in School, a stop-motion animated series on YouTube and names Overland Park as the setting in the first episode.

I will caution you that they like to use the F-word a lot. There’s a new girl who doesn’t understand the hierarchy and is not allowed in this restroom, a territory controlled by the popular girls. While the new girl and the most popular girl exchange, the third continues to wonder how the new girl entered by another girl who was not even charged with that responsibility.

While I originally saw a parody with characters from Homestuck,

While I didn’t go to Laser Rangers, I did visit two friends yesterday, and I avoided live drama on Facebook with my timing; staircase wit in a moment.

Sure, I have an errand or two to run, but daylight saving time makes everyone in this great nation hung over, so I needed another hour to sleep this morning, which wasn’t helped by my sister doing laundry. I wash nothing on Saturday or Sunday to comply with her rules, and I get noise because she doesn’t work Monday this week.
