Gah! I totally did not mean to spend my Sunday doing this.
Okay, so I've got an account on DeviantART, (as longtime readers will know) and today I was looking around at some stuff on there and came across some Pok'e'mon stuff.
*Wince*
As a kid, I was pretty into the show. I'll tell anyone who'll listen stories about how I woke up at 5 on Saturdays to watch "cartoons" that didn't start until 8. "Cartoons" really being code for two main shows, and any number of smaller ones. The two I cared most about?
Recess and Pokemon. And Pokemon was the one I liked more.
But it's a silly show, it's a KIDS show, it's been going on for 14 years and the main character is still 10 years old. So even though I saw these pictures and had a moment of nostalgia, there was no way that I was going to actually WATCH THE SHOW.
Yeah... right.
So this is what's really embarrassing- not that I went back and watched the first episode anyway (because I still watch a lot of cartoons), not even that when the theme song started playing some part of my brain (damaged no doubt from watching infomercials for three hours waiting for my shows to start) remembered to get excited and a goofy grin stretched across my face, but that I watched the show.
And I enjoyed it.
ADGGHADOSIBGAWSE!
Just two or three years ago I watched the first episode again and it seemed inane and stupid and I couldn't stop mocking it and had to turn it off before I finished because I couldn't handle it!
Today I sat and watched it and laughed at all the ridiculous parts and couldn't believe I was watching it, couldn't turn it off, couldn't stop smiling!
And I'm going to watch the second episode!
If this keeps up, Fruit Bat may have to hold an intervention.
