hello, my name is sam.
i tend to post spans of my writing (99% spontaneous), but will also share any funny, beautiful, clever, catchy, or creative pieces i cross paths with.

I’m almost certain my interest in science as a whole stemmed from my experience with the Pokemon games as a little kid. I would ask my dad things about the mechanics of the game, like why grass is super effective against rock/ground. And he’d spin up some story with just a dash of scientific base to it—“tree roots are big and break through cement.” He was puzzled for an instant when I told him ice loses to fire, because the “ice should melt and put out the fire.” I guess STAB Flamethrower Charizard was too strong. All the numbers…levels, stats, PP, Pokedex count…all in a fun game. Pretty sure all the dialogue improved my literacy because I actually was interested in reading what was on the screen.
I guess this post has shifted into a sincere thanks to Game Freak for entertaining me since 1998—to this day, I’m playing Pokemon Black on and off, and plan on completing it when I finish this academic year. But more importantly, I guess I owe the Pokemon series gratitude for planting the (leech?) seed of interest of the sciences at an early age.
Because…here I am now in chemical engineering. It’s a shame it’s not quite as riveting as fighting the Elite 4 for the seventieth time.

My brain has a bad habit of bringing up faces of people in dreams that I wish were part of my real life, yet I do not know who they are. Who…and where…are you?
