Burning Errands

To deal with and finalize a mass of personal tasks or errands all at once, often last minute and rushed.

Sundays are perfect days for burning errands.

erran

A beautiful blonde haired girl who is a true friend. At first she may seem shy but once you get to know her she'll never shut up. She will keep you laughing all the time and you can trust her with anything.

Erran is very popular in her school. The boys tend to like her but she is not a whore although many other girls think she is. But in reality they're just jealous.

fool's errand

special task for the uninformed new worker to a job

Get me the keys to the sea chest
Get me some prop wash
I need some relative bearing grease
Hand me a left handed spanner wrench
I'm gonna need a horse ladder
Me thinks me need a flannel hammer
I'm gonna need a rubber hammer for glass nails
