It started out over the summer when I found the YouTube channel that had EVERY SINGLE POKEMON SEASON 1 EPISODE. I watched so much Pokemon it was ridiculous. Then they took it offline, and I was sad.
Visited Marisa at her house. What did we do? We watched Pokemon, of course (we also hung out in D.C. and went to Georgetown Cupcakes...nbd).
Went to the beach. Marisa came, too (should I say I had a very Marisa semester?). We played Pokemon scrabble, colored Pokemon pictures and got Pokemon tattoos (not to mention Pokemon pillow talk). So good.
Came back home and searched the internet for more of Season 1. Found it.
Went to college. Saw that the guy's hall had Pokemon door tags. I was super jelly (so was Marisa) so we asked our RA if we could also have Pokemon door tags. She asked us if we'd be interested in having a dorm-wide Pokemon battle...of course we were all up on that idea. Little did we know how crazy things would get...
I ended up being stuck with Jynx, which is probably in the top two ugliest Pokemon EVER (ok, probably number one but I wanted to be nice). I don't feel like explaining the game because I sacrificed myself early on so Marisa could gain more points (I'm a great friend and also had lots of exams and work those few weeks) and wasn't directly involved. To see Marisa's account of it, read here.

One day, we had a fire alarm go off at 6:15 a.m. For some odd reason, I was wide awake and ready to start my day. When we were permitted to go back indoors, I went straight for the piano room. I called my friend, Adam, who also lives in my complex, to come jam with me. What did we decide to play? (Please take into consideration that these are our morning voices)

| ignore the fact that I look disoriented |
My 21st birthday was fast approaching. I decided to have a Pokemon coloring party, which btw was an outrageous success. One of my friends even got me my very own Pikachu who sometimes joined us for lunch!!
Then it was Halloween. I decided to use my art skillz to carve a Pikapumpkin.

Who could forget that December is Pokemon Prof Pic Month! I chose Ninetails, the most elegant of them all. Not to mention the fact that she's a cougar.

I think my pride and joy of the semester, though, would have to be the Pikapancake. Nothing much has to be said about this masterpiece, it speaks for itself.
One of my friends recently gave me Pokemon Fire Red, Mac edition. You better believe the second I get home from the Optometry Admissions Test on January 10th, you can find me at my computer, reverting back to my childhood ways.
Judge me all you want, but if you are a 90s kid and you weren't a girly girl, you'd be right here with me. ijs
