matt1993: (autism)
Lately I've just had SO MUCH to do that not only do I not get much time to relax, but whenever I do get to take a break, it's usually not actually that relaxing because I still end up thinking about the stuff that has to get done soon.

As I mentioned a while back, I've been working on that physics research project as a part-time job. The conference that I have to attend is coming up soon (it's from March 31 to April 2), and at some point before that (probably THIS WEEK), I'll have to completely wear myself out putting together the information for the poster so I can present it. Hopefully this is the last time I ever have to give a presentation about this project... but with my luck, there will probably be about three more conferences I have to present at. :(

Not only that, but even though I have a part-time job already, I'm now required to look at two listings for potential full-time jobs every week. And I've been having to do more of the chores at home... which I'm not very good at remembering to do. AND recently there was a whole bunch of paperwork I had to do, AND I had to update my résumé recently, AND there's probably more things like that that I'll have to do soon... and so on and so forth.

About 117 days until I get to be happy again...

I'm definitely not even close to being ready to be an adult, even though I'm SUPPOSED to be because I was in college for 4½ years. :(

This entry does not get a repost button because it is friends-only. I decided to make this and the next one public because of later public entries that mention this conference.

You Have the Fears of a Teenager



You are still finding your footing in the world, and a lot fear stems from your own insecurity.

You feel ready to be more independent and successful, but you're worried if you can really do it.



You fear failure, and you also fear humiliating yourself. The less confident you are, the more afraid you are.

Over time you are learning that everyone is afraid... you just have to act as if you're not!






Fear reposting this entry

Last Friday, I accidentally fell asleep for a while after school (again). I better make a tag for that so I know just how many times I've posted about it. At least Martin Luther King Jr. has kept my weekend from being shorter than normal this time. Thanks, Kingy! :)

Yesterday, [livejournal.com profile] pathvain_aelien showed me how to cook Hot Pockets, followed up by Mom showing me how to cook French fries. I did a good job with both; maybe adult life won't be a disaster!

Today, [livejournal.com profile] autism, which is known for having flame wars come up everytime someone mentions Autism Speaks and/or a cure for autism, and CNN.com, which is known for having even more flame wars than autism, have morphed together to post the ULTIMATE controversial entry! And I commented on it, so wish me luck in averting the inevitable apocalyptic flame wars that I'm waiting for.

Post to your journal (therapy dogs permitted)

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
