matt1993 | Writer's Block: The name game (Reply)

The name game
What's the origin of your username? If you could change it to anything else, would you, and what would it be?

Answer View Answers

I've rarely been unique when it comes to usernames, so when I joined Neopets (I know this is about LJ, I'm getting to that), I wanted to have my username just be "matt", but since that was already taken, it generated some usernames consisting of "matt" followed by random numbers and asked me to pick one. I chose "matt1140142774271".

For a while, I would use matt1140142774271 as my username on other websites I joined as well. However, when I tried doing this with LJ, since my first LiveJournal password (it has been changed several times since then [really, it has {so trying to hack into my account will be a waste of time}]) was "5cr33n5h075" (because of PrtSc Land, the webcomic I used to do that wasn't actually online at the time), LJ said that my username and password were too similar (which is kinda weird, because the only characters they share are a 0 and a 7), so

pathvain_aelien (who was helping me set up my account) suggested making my username "matt1993" instead.

And that's how my username ended up being my first name and the year I was born instead of my first name and a random 13-digit number. :)

It's hard to describe this journal in just a few paragraphs... but I'll try

Just an autistic guy born in 1993 (hence the username) who's had this journal since I was 14. Has trouble phrasing things well especially in earlier entries, so keep that in mind.

My interests have fluctuated in the 17 years since I've had this journal, but the following has remained constant:
- I like Mario games (mainly the platformers, Mario Kart, Mario Party) and Super Smash Bros.
- I like Garfield
- I like Homestar Runner
- I like Enya
- And I've always loved the idea of wacky crossovers between ANY of my interests, whether it's in the form of a short-lived webcomic in 2006-2008, a short-lived backwards lyrics site in 2008, writing down weird dreams in 2009-2011, playing Tomodachi Life a lot in 2014-2016, or what most of my posts are about these days: playing around with Character.AI starting in 2023. I still can't believe I'm actually in a world where an AI of Enya can talk to AIs of Mario or Garfield or even my favorite obscure characters like Mary O. from Super Mario Maker. :O
