burning up like neon lights

Any time I’m not paying for anything is a good time. I’ll even let you show it off to the folks at work.

Oh, don't worry. I would have shown them with or without your permission.

"Come on, it’s not that bad…Is it?"

What exactly have you gotten yourself into this time? Don't make me go all mama bear mode on you.

Sweet, we’ll make it a joint donation, I do the ice water and you pay the money. I mean anything for charity right?

I get to dump a bucket of ice water over your head and all I have to do is donate to charity? Perfect. It's a win-win situation.

You can take the Ice Bucket Challenge and I could pour ice on your head.

Or I could dump ice cold water on your head instead.

That’s kinda depressing and very boring. Spice up your life, lady.

How exactly do you suggest I do that?

It does actually. But I don’t think I’m much of a party animal. I’m quite content with loneliness.

Fair enough. But I hope you know it's possible to go out and have fun without partying.

Staying home alone drinking an entire bottle of wine is a proper exciting evening to me.

Whatever floats your boat, I guess. But doesn't that get boring after awhile?

Sounds a lot like me every day.

Every day? That sounds boring. Do you ever do anything exciting?

I agree. Avoiding things has never really worked out for me so it's probably best to just face things head on, you know. Kind of like ripping a band aid off. It's nice to meet you, too, Oliver.

And to think I was actually considering taking a few classes at Haven U. That’s a joke.

Yeah, school isn't my thing. Thank god college isn't mandatory.

I would suggest your favorite food or whatever's the easiest to make.

I’ll pull that move where you put a hand on their head and hold them at arm’s length so they can’t reach you when they try to hit you.

That's a solid plan. They wouldn't stand a chance against us.

Now I’m scared, Ams. Ha, how’d you scare a bunch of kids anyway?

You should be. Oh, you know, the old green face mask which apparently made me look like an alien.

Ooh, all those tiny fists. Don’t let them knock you down.

I'll try my best. I think I'm pretty tough but if I need reinforcements you'll be the first one I call.

I think we all have our fair share of problems but we have to deal with them in one way or another. Best of luck to you, uh, I don't think I caught your name? Mine's Amelia.
