Today is the first anniversary of the day I joined DreamWidth... wow.

How did DreamWidth manage to probably be the first social network I was still using a year after I joined it?

LiveJournal - Of course I've been obsessed with LJ since 2009, but back when I actually joined it on August 19, 2007... not so much. I didn't do a whole lot on it for a while and went on a long hiatus early on. August 19, 2008 happened to be during that hiatus.

Facebook - I don't remember when I joined it, but probably about the same time as LJ. But like with LJ, I kept losing and regaining interest in it for a while. I also remember my first Facebook account being suspended because no one would verify the high school I went to (since there wasn't even an option for the high school I actually went to), but I don't remember when that was. So I may or may not have been using Facebook a year after I joined it.

Blogger? - For a dual-credit computer science class (the same one that Ours Will You 1-Up spawned out of, I believe), one of the assignments was to create an account on Blogger... at least I think it was Blogger. So I did, but I only ever made one post on it. Even if I wanted to update it now, I can't because I don't remember my username (and who knows if it's still up, anyway).

Miiverse - I joined it when I got my Wii U on December 25, 2012, and was active on it for several months, but then went on a hiatus from it and December 25, 2013 happened to be just before I came back from that hiatus - and then posted regularly for several more months only to go on an even longer hiatus.


And despite my having been on DreamWidth for over a year, I still only have 736 entries fixed :(

(music tag should be: "Super Mario Maker soundtrack - SMB Airship theme (yeah, now I pretty much think of it as the official theme song of reading/seeing stuff I feel like I should've seen all along but didn't)")

December 25, 2009: Got Garfield's Fun Fest DVD as a Christmas present. For the record, by then I'd seen the other two 3D Garfield movies (Garfield Gets Real and Garfield's Pet Force, the latter of which actually came out after Garfield's Fun Fest I think.)

February 9, 2017: Finally actually watched it over seven years later!

And enjoyed it as much as I thought I would, but still... SEVEN YEARS.

And I kind of know why I put it off in the first place (apparently the Christmas present from that year that I was the most excited about it was New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and that was also the era when I was trying to work as hard as I could - sometimes - on a redesign for Ours Will You 1-Up that I never finished), but... how did that turn into a seven-year-and-two-month-long delay?! That's even longer than the delay before Enya finally released Dark Sky Island! And longer than how long Marzipan was out and about!

Finally get around to reposting this in 2024
matt1993: (no-edged sword)
December 25, 2012: Made my first post on Miiverse.
April 12, 2013: Made my first post on Miiverse that would end up being misunderstood.

It's one of the friendliest online communities I've ever seen, and I still can't make it 108 days and 6 hours without offending someone there?

I have some serious problems... :(

Yeah!

On the twelfth day of Christmas, matt1993 sent to me...
Twelve prophecies drumming
Eleven screenshots piping
Ten computers a-leaping
Nine lemonheads dancing
Eight physics a-compromising
Seven fractals a-drawing
Six crossovers a-programming
Five di-i-i-inosaur comics
Four weird dreams
Three mortal instruments
Two backwards lyrics
...and a mario in a suicidal bunny.
Get your own Twelve Days:


I never knew that it could replace the verbs too until now. ("Six crossovers a-programming")

In 2013, matt1993 resolves to...
Backup my mezzacotta regularly.
Stop compromising with alien_infinity.
Take princesskitu drawing.
Apply for a new math.
Find a better inflation.
Go to nonpartisanship every Sunday.
Get your own New Year's Resolutions:


I could definitely use a new math, since I'm no longer good at the old math!

In other news, about a year ago today I got over my depression about the Forbidden Comment Threads just in time for Christmas, and in fact, got over it for the longest period of time so far; in fact, at the time I'd thought I'd gotten over it completely. But now I'm not only still depressed about it about half of the time, I'm also depressed about anything that even vaguely reminds me of the Forbidden Comment Threads (and now, many more things fall under this category), and just as much as when the Forbidden Comment Threads were actually happening. So I don't see myself nearly overcoming it again this year. I'll probably be happier on Christmas Day, but aside from the fact that I'm still not depressed every moment of my life, that's it. :(

Thanks for ruining my life, [livejournal.com profile] asperger. And commenters in [livejournal.com profile] news. And the Facebook group I Have a LiveJournal!. And too many more things to name.

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
