I can't believe it.

I'm over 80% done fixing my entries. AND I've finally fixed all of my entries from 2016!!! (Fun fact: while keeping count in the process, I noticed that the first time I ever mentioned Mary O. in this journal was in my 1,111th entry. Would you look at that!)

I wish I hadn't had to waste two years just to get this done, but I'm a lot more hopeful now because it's getting done!!! I'm almost up to the entries written AFTER I joined DW! :D


Of course, after this I'm still gonna need to update my profile on both LJ and DW for the first time in a while and make a new updated glossary/list of userpics/FAQ sticky entry.
I think it's about time for me to start thinking some more about what I need to add or remove from my FAQ.
Well, mostly on what to add to it - several people have made it clear to me when I asked about this a couple of years back that a lot of the questions that are in there are pointless since no one's thought about asking them (and it made me feel really weird about myself when people suggested removing them), so I'm going to remove them. (To the few of you who liked the fact that those questions are in there: Don't worry, I'll keep the current version of the FAQ in a non-sticky entry as well for posterity and link to it from the new version as the answer to something like "What happened to the old FAQ?")

What are some questions that you've had about me or my journal and have wanted to ask me? This can include ones that are answered by the FAQ already or not (in fact, it'd be better if you pretend for right now that I don't have a FAQ at all yet). It can be ones that you still don't know the answer to or ones that you found the answer to eventually. Or if there's something about me or my journal that you understood but think others might not and that it'd be helpful to have that in the FAQ, you can even list that.

But no suggestions about which ones to remove from my FAQ, please - it's already a given that I'm going to be removing or condensing most of them. Let's focus more on what should be in it than what shouldn't be. :)

(For those of you new here: every year since I discovered http://www.museumofconceptualart.com/accomplished/index.html when I was 15, I've posted what other people accomplished when they were my age. Usually, this is a birthday post, but sometimes I forget until a little later. One time I even forgot about it until my next birthday!)

← Age 23 Age 25 →

At age 24:

Nelly Bly made a solo trip around the world in less than 80 days for the New York World, beating Phileas Fogg's fictional record.

Radioastronomy grad student Jocelyn Bell Burnell observed an unknown signal from outer space; this resulted in the discovery of pulsars.

John Couch Adams became the first person to predict the position of a planetary mass beyond Uranus.

Johannes Kepler defended the Copernican theory and described the structure of the solar system.

Entrepreneur Ted Turner took over his father's billboard advertising business. He later launched CNN.

Tracy Chapman released her first album, winning three Grammies.

Scottish physician Mungo Park became the first European to reach the West African interior.

Edgar Allen Poe won a $50 prize for the story "MS. Found in a Bottle."

Noah Webster published a spelling book.

Isaac Pitman devised the first scientific shorthand system.

Security guard Frank Wills alerted D.C. police to the Watergate break-ins.

Rainey Fellows donated a kidney to her (now ex-) boyfriend. They aren't together now, but he's doing very well. They're still friends.

Helene got a high score of 170440 in the popular online game Robot Unicorn Attack.

Tasha looked into her five-year-old son's eyes and decided to leave her abusive husband. Then she beat the odds and didn't go back even once.

David Hosei started his ninth business, eFamily.

The first time I took that quiz, it said I had an 80% chance of surviving a T-Rex attack. Now it's:

You'd have a 66% chance of surviving
QuizGalaxy.com
You have an above average chance of surviving a T-Rex attack. You are able to recognize what the real dangers are as opposed to the imaginary ones. Go team!

Less than before, but it's still a lot more than what I feel my actual chance of surviving would be.

My first date faux pas is still "Talking about your ex!" which still doesn't quite make sense because I've still always been single in the years since I took this quiz. I do talk about the past in general a lot, though...

(And yes, instead of just saying "Lies!" in that old entry, I put in a random backwards lyric that happened to have the word "lies" in it. I was weird back then. ;) )

My epitaph this time is:

Matt
Don't mess with the Mafia

That was one of those all-you-have-to-do-is-enter-your-name quizzes, so of course it's a different result now.

I HAVE A JOB OFFER NOW! (I've had one since earlier this week but I'm only just now posting about it) :)

In other news, here's some quizzes I took recently:

cut for length again )

And why does the subject line make no sense? Because I found this recently:

http://watchout4snakes.com/wo4snakes/Random/RandomSentence

The portable profit shocks the island against any larger chap. Why does the radio drag the doctrine? The branded bounce leans beside a percent. A surprise conforms a preferable machinery opposite the guy.

The silent sufferer zones

I died on the Starship Matt1993

I was killed in a hexagonal access duct by Ljfinder the cleaning droid, whilst carrying...

Youjik33's commbadge, a Mollyringwraith screwdriver, a PENELO forcefield generator, an Ellaina02ian artefact, an KRICKADOODLE-80 phaser and 78 galacticredits.

Score: 89

Funny moments:

You find yourself in a cramped holodeck. You are surrounded by realistic 3D representations of print screen land and circle versus square.

How is that possible if Circle and Square are 2D?

You find yourself in a glowing engine room. A warning sign on the wall mentions snow cones.

I'm doomed...

You are walking through a cramped fuel tank. Large stencilled letters spell out '667'.

I believe those are numbers, not letters ;)

You are walking through a glowing galley. You hear the sound of ice cream echoing through ventilation shafts.

Ice cream has a sound too?

You find yourself in a hexagonal recreation room. You hear the sound of mario echoing through ventilation shafts.

Yay for aliens playing Mario!

You find yourself in a red-lit corridor. A warning sign on the wall mentions ketchup.

Apparently, the ketchup already took over the lighting.

Welcome to the mobile decade
The eighties were known as the Me decade. The nineties have been called the Electronic age. So far, what would you label this decade?

The VERY Electronic Age.

Okay, let's see:

I failed a stems quiz in English today because I never studied while I was out from school.

I got my short story back today - I made an 80 because not much happened in the story. This is the first time my definition of "PrtSc Land syndrome" as given by the glossary in my profile applies to something other than PrtSc Land.

And I wasn't focused very well most of the day.

*sigh*

200th post!

For my 200th LJ entry (my profile will say 201, but that's because I haven't deleted the welcome entry that's automatically made for new users), I decided to do something completely pointless: take the first word from my first post, the second word from my second post, the third word from my third post, and so on, all the way up to this one. (If post #X has Y words, and Y is less than X, then the remainder of X ÷ Y is Z, and I use the Zth word instead, or the last if Z is zero.) And yes, this is a ripoff of 160 Seconds.

So here goes )

Context )

While doing this, I've noticed that I have quite a few posts that are exactly 48 words long, by the way. Coincidence?

On a less pointless note, I had to get my braces tightened again today. And this time, there are rubber bands holding the top and bottom braces together (which have to be changed every time I eat or brush my teeth, and also before I go to bed), so it probably won't pull a my wisdom teeth this time. :(

So my chemistry and Spanish exams today went smoothly.

Only one left for tomorrow: history. Then I'm FREE.

To save this post from being really short, here's a random quiz:

Say Anything
Your life mostly resembles Say Anything. You are a romantic at heart. You are inclined to fall in love with someone without even talking to them.

The ironic thing is that the slice for Pretty in Pink is in blue.

I just finished spending 3 hours writing a rough draft of a rough draft of my research paper... I'm so wiped out. *passes out, just happening to hit Ctrl+V to paste the obligatory quiz and submit this post*

You'd have a 80% chance of surviving
QuizGalaxy.com
You have a very good chance of surviving a T-Rex attack. You are very smart and know how to survive in the wild. You would be first in line if there was ever a real Jurassic Park.

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
