Whatever Matt Feels Like Posting

I made thirteen posts on Miiverse on January 5, 2013 (though I've only put the first six in this entry). For nearly a year, that was the record of most Miiverse posts I made in a single day (if not counting replies since those weren't in the backup...) And no, I can't think of anything about that day that would make me post to Miiverse more often.

Before that, my record was nine posts each on December 29 and 30, 2012 (and thus, so far those are the only other two days that I turned into two-parters in this "backup my Miiverse posts on LJ and DW" series).


What do you think of these Miiverse backup entries so far? Should I post them more often? Less often? Include more Miiverse posts at a time? Less Miiverse posts at a time? I know probably not all of you are interested in these but I like having my Miiverse posts still existing on the Internet in some form. :)

Pikmin Adventure
Was anyone else reminded of Tarantox from Super Mario Galaxy? (weak points that look like blisters)

(It's been a while so I'm not sure what Pikmin Adventure boss I was talking about [probably was a Bulborb of some sort though] but it must have been pretty early on in that game - presumably before the first timed mission judging by the order of my posts. I don't think I ever 100% completed any of the Nintendo Land games. Maybe I should finish that someday...)

(For those who haven't played this game, Hawk Eye is an ability that slows down the enemies and projectiles.)

(Except the invincibility stars from Mario are more commonly known as Super Stars nowadays, and I believe they've been called that since Super Mario 3D Land which is before Miiverse even existed. I guess I thought "Starman" was the term more people on Miiverse would recognize, but now I'm not sure.)

It's Friday already and not Tuesday or Wednesday... but at least this is still the most regular feature I've had in my journal since the weekly Garfield Randomizer comics in 2009!

Beat the game!
That final boss was really clever, but hard. I didn't use a single continue until there!

We got all 3 Star Coins, like a... guy who can't think of a rhyme related to this level?

WARNING: Collecting all 3 Star Coins somehow resulted in forgetting where the last 2 were.

Morton's Compactor Castle
Why does it rarely ask me to post here unless I've got nothing interesting to say or draw?

(Strange how this post, which is just me saying that I had nothing interesting to say about that level, had more Yeahs than some of my other posts do...)

(what I wanted to put for the music tag: "Dr. Mario - Chill (SSBB version), Super Mario Galaxy - Speedy Comet and Final Bowser, Enya - Cursum Perficio backwards, and Sarah McLachlan - Black all at once and in G Major")

I visited the college that I am the most interested in from Sunday to Monday, staying overnight in the dorm (like I'd done before at another college).

Although the first day was pretty good, the second day ruined it for me. It all started when the fire alarm went off at 12:30 AM for no reason. Once I realized that it wasn't just imagination, I was hit with the realization that I hadn't quite memorized the fire escape route, so my plan was to just run through random hallways on the floor I was on until I either found the elevator (because I hadn't remembered "oh yeah, I can't use the elevator during a fire or fire drill" yet) or someone who knew where it was. Fortunately, this was actually much sooner than I expected - I heard some guy's voice so I followed him down the stairs and outside the building. Even though there wasn't a fire - the fire alarm came on by accident - it was clear from right then that I wouldn't get anywhere near enough sleep that night, since breakfast was at 7 and I hadn't even fallen asleep once yet. Especially since, in my no-common-sense hurry to get out of my room, I forgot to take my room key with me and ended up having to borrow the master key. Which I accidentally used to open the door to the room next to mine at first.

And, as expected, I briefly woke up and went back to sleep several times starting at 6, eventually becoming awake enough to get up at around 7:30 or 8. By then, my roommate was already gone, and only a few people were downstairs, none of whom knew where to go either. I ended up missing breakfast completely - and I thought I was late that one time at Camp El Tesoro when I got to breakfast just a few minutes before it was over! Throughout the rest of the day, I also got separated from my group and ended up lost 3 more times. :(

The lack of common sense apparently didn't end after the trip was over, either - I somehow managed to post even more comments in asperger that I ended up regretting despite the fact that:

A) I didn't even mention a cure for autism this time, and
B) I had a feeling it would happen just like I knew this, this, and the fact that I probably haven't heard from Schrödinger's Enya in awhile because I acted like the paparazzi countless times would.

Will I ever say anything that I won't end up regretting? :'(

Speaking of those comments in asperger, people there have pointed out that "creative tumors" isn't a good term for, well, creative tumors because it's kinda unpleasant-sounding, but I can't think of anything better. Do any of you have any ideas?

Things that won't work for a renaming of creative tumors:
- daydreaming (that would imply that I am creative enough to come up with these ideas almost constantly, rather than every now and then randomly)
- creative spasms (saying "4 or 5 years ago, the most creative spasms I had at once was four" implies that I thought about four ideas at the same time, when really I mean to say that four ideas kinda took turns distracting me)
