Well, it's March 13. Anyone have any updates on how likely it is that LJ will actually go down? Or whether or not it's true what my sister told me that even if LJ does have a blackout for a while, it'll be temporary?

I figured I should give those of you who didn't meet me until after the first apocalypse some context on how I reacted to that and what I ended up doing as a result. (Including freaking out and stressing about it.) So I'm linking to some of the entries about that. I'm including links to both the LJ and DW versions of the relevant entries to save time / future-proof in case I end up having to backup my journal again or something. Not all of these are about LJ specifically because it wasn't the only major change causing me anxiety in 2017 - other things happened that certainly didn't help matters for me either.

Does WordPress have the features listed here? [minus the creating two accounts thing because I think I've more or less decided against making a separate dream journal on LJ, DW, or any other site; my entries are dumb enough WITHOUT all the stuff that happens in my dreams that makes no sense when written out!])

There's other relevant entries - several times I've posted about my anxiety about LJ or specific journals/communities or other websites/images/videos going down, and several times I've posted updates on how far I've gotten with fixing my own entries or how bad I felt about still being behind on my friends page, but most of them are similar to these.

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
