Whatever Matt Feels Like Posting

It took four days (more than that if you count the time I spent putting it off), but I'm finally done fixing one of my longest and most cringeworthy entries ever! :D

Now I just have 449 to go... I hope there aren't many more that are as long as that one. Off the top of my head I can already think of 18 more entries that are going to take a while to fix. :(

I'm glad most of my entries aren't that long... I couldn't bear the thought of it taking another 4×449=1,796 days to fix all my entries. By July 5, 2023 (1,796 days from now) everyone probably will have left both LJ and DW and moved to a third website, and all my work would be for nothing. And every webcomic I ever read would be gone by then. :(

"Haven’t you always wondered what the Garfield comic strip would be like if President Garfield was starring in place of the lasagna loving cat? No? Well, maybe you can enjoy this site anyway."

Neat!

EDIT IN 2018: ...The site is gone now, and due to the way the site is organized, web.archive.org didn't even save ALL of the comics. :( So I went through all the pages WERE saved one by one and made this entry into a hopefully-complete, more useful list of links to all the Garfield as Garfield comics that survived. Note that some comics were able to be found on various versions of the main page, week-by-week archives, or the "Best of" page, but not the individual comics' pages, or vice versa.

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

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. :)
