[ ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏ ]

[admemoriam]

[The video comes on, just a bit crooked, to show a scrawny teenager sitting in tall grass. He gives the camera a business-like nod, and then holds up a piece of paper, covered in blocky, red writing, to the lens.]

This is my bucket list.

[Self-explanatory, from the title.]

Who can help me with any of it? [He tilts it back to scan the list again.] Like, I'm pretty sure fireworks will be pretty easy, but I don't really know where to find a red panda. [A little nose wrinkle.] ... Or a volcano.

[That's it. That's the broadcast. He gives the camera a boyish smile and a thumbs up.]

[A shrug.]

I'm not a big thinker. Maybe if I had more time.

Hey, that's exactly how you end up regretting stuff in the end! By not thinking before you do it!

Especially if that "doing" involves kissing people in a weird place like this.

[admemoriam]

Being a teenager is all about regretting stuff, man.

[valuemeal]

Why would you want to regret stuff?! Or is that also considered something weird in other places by now?

[ He's seen so many weird things in this place, he'd believe it all at this point.. ]

[admemoriam]

If you only do things you're sure you won't regret, then you miss out on a lot of stuff.

Someone else here told me the same thing.

[ Which means he has to at least somewhat consider it, no matter how ridiculous it sounds to him.. ]

Then you don't mind going around with that stuff you regret forever?
