generally don’t mind living close to a primary school but if you asked me what i think they’re learning lately i’d say it’s at least 80% How To Scream Really Loud
There is someone sleeping under me on the other side of the earth They are tossing and turning and I find it very disruptive like a pea under many mattresses

beagle bartender: what’ll it be
me: dirty martini—shaken
beagle bartender: this isn’t just to watch my ears flap is it

beagle bartender: sure alright *starts shaking and his ears flap*
me: hahaha :) hahahaha
Country song 1960: I got laid off in December, lost the house this past July / and if you leave me, Mary-Anne, I’ll kill myself tonight
