Mel's Pokemon Permastatus
Recommended by Mel all day every day, "reviewed" by Mae
Me and Mel used to do a fun thing at work where we would update our gchat statuses to shame and honor each other. For example, once I spelled celebrities "celelbrutis" and Mel made that her status for a while. Which is part shame but also part honor, because amazingly, I did that without being drunk!!!
Another time, she wrote this joke I loved about falafel, and I made it my status, probably with hearts around it. I found the actual joke, too: "Falafel was invented centuries ago by the Egyptians, who called it 'pha la phel,' meaning, 'the hackey sack you can eat.'"
Our fun chat status friendship game is over now, though, thanks to THE STUPID GIF ABOVE that has been her gchat status for probably one calendar year. Here are my feelings about it:
1) Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
2) One of those critters is a tumbleweed because the gif itself knows it is boring.
3) If you hate this gif and squint, it looks like it depicts God farting.
4) The blue guy at the end seems really nice and is the only part of this gif I would EVER hang out with.
4.5) Blue guy would clearly be in Hufflepuff, as would I. If we hung out, we would discuss this.
5) The wind is super strong in the foreground, but the background trees are stationary. Not realistic and just generally upsetting.
I wish I could get this gif out of my life permanently, but in her status Mel links to it as a bit.ly, so I am ALWAYS hopeful that it is a new bit.ly. I click on it constantly. It's inescapable. One day, I will probably marry it, against its will and mine :(
