matt1993: (homestar essence of gullibility)
(music tag should be: Snippets of Mario, Kid Icarus, SSB, BtVS, Enya, Dido, Céline Dion, Sarah McLachlan, Moya Brennan, Matchbox 20, Rascal Flatts, & Savage Garden music thrown together randomly in Audacity)

This has been kind of a disappointing April Fools' Day because:

1) Homestar Runner didn't update at all today, even though they did for April Fools' Day 2014, 2015, and 2016, and April Fools and Halloween are almost the only times they ever update nowadays.
2) I don't think many people noticed my April Fools prank at all.

For reference, my April Fools prank was this entry; however, when I first posted it (on March 31 in my time zone, but late enough that it was April 1 already for some of you), it was an exact copy of my first entry. Then I waited a few minutes or so and changed it to a copy of a different past entry in the same way... then changed it to another after a few more minutes, and so on - basically, if I was at my computer, I'd change the entry anywhere from once an hour to once every few minutes. (At first. I gradually updated it less and less often because it seemed like no one was noticing...)

By "exact copy", that means including the subject line, repost button, userpic, tags, mood, music, location... basically, everything except the timestamp, the comments, and friends-only status [though, of course, the only friends-only entries I used were ones that probably would've been fine being public]. And anything that I intended to change each time but accidentally forgot sometimes. Though if I used an entry I'd posted in [livejournal.com profile] _dreams_, [livejournal.com profile] autism, or [livejournal.com profile] asperger, I added a notice saying that it was cross-posted (even though I don't think copying a community entry to my own journal years later for April Fools' Day actually counts as cross-posting).

I chose the entries semi-randomly, sometimes by going to my Calendar for random years and months and picking a random entry I'd feel comfortable posting again, and sometimes by just putting in notable entries that I remember and wanted to include in this prank at some point. Some entries were used more than once.

And just to mess with your heads even more, I thought it might be fun to come up with a hypothetical FUTURE entry and add it into the mix! That's what the 2023 year in review is for. It ended up being my favorite thing about this prank, so I left that one up significantly longer than any other single entry.


Now that April Fools' Day is over, all the entries I ended up using are listed below for posterity. (Don't expect the repost buttons to work correctly, though...)


The entries that you could've sworn that you'd seen already and/or that they said something completely different a few minutes ago, in order of their first use in this prank )

I just looked at the interests in my profile for the first time in a while and...

WHOA. It's WAY outdated.


Homestar Runner?!

Garfield??!

MARIO?!?!

When was the last time I liked those?!



Unfortunately I can't fix it just yet either because I've been busy lately. I had enough time to come up with a new interests list:

/b/, 15, 16, 23, 300, 4, 4-8-15-16-23-42, 4chan, 42, 4815162342, 5 nights at freddy's, 69, 8, all your base, angry video game nerd, arguing, arguing about gender, arguing about politics, arguing about sports, arguments, arrow to the knee, assuming bad faith, assuming everything is homophobic, assuming everything is racist, assuming everything is sexist, assuming neurotypicals are jerks, assuming nts are jerks, atheism, avgn, ayb, ban comic sans, being a jerk, being mean, bell peppers, cake is a lie, call of duty, captain falcon, cars, chili, chuck norris, cinema sins, cinemasins, controversy, creative writing, cussing, cuss words, debates, dirty jokes, do a barrel roll, do not want, dorkly, double standards, dragonball z, dubstep, encyclopedia dramatica, essays, estj, extroverts, feminism, feminist frequency, final destination, five nights at freddy's, flame wars, flashgitz, fnaf, football, for glory, fox only, foxadhd, game of thrones, game theory, gaming sins, gamingsins, geno, grand theft auto, grudges, gta, guns, halo, hating everything, holding grudges, hoo-hah, hot-button topics, hunting, i lost the game, impromptu speeches, indexed, innuendo, innuendos, insults, internet memes, it's over 9000, it's over nine thousand, jersey shore, judging people, lettuce, little mac, lucario, malleo, matpat, matthew patrick, memes, metal gear, moral dilemmas, mr. z, mustard, no items, no wai!, o rly?, onions, overanalyzing cartoons, overanalyzing comics, overanalyzing everything, overanalyzing movies, overanalyzing video games, paint.net, photoshop, pickles, political arguments, political debates, politics, potato salad, profanity, psychcentral, public speaking, rap, research papers, rickroll, rickrolling, salad, shoop da woop, sonty mick, sports, sqrt(-garfield) memes, sromg memes, starting arguments, swearing, taking offense to everything, team fortress, team fortress 2, that's what she said, the game, the game theorists, the office, the walking dead, this is sparta, tl;dr, uncyclopedia, walking dead, weegee, weegee stare, writing essays, writing papers, ya rly, yolo, your mom, your mom jokes, yu-gi-oh, zero wing, zombies

But that's over 150 interests, and I don't have time right now to narrow it down to just 150. Hopefully I will this weekend. At least this gives you a chance to marvel at just how NOT ME my old interests list is, I guess.

And I still need to come up with a new default userpic... and like 40 or 50 new non-default userpics, and a new profile, and a new profile name...

All wrong

I have more than % synesthesia, thank you very much.

Then again, this quiz seems to believe that synesthesia is directly linked to creativity. I'm definitely less than % creative, so if you average the amount of synesthesia I have and the amount of creativity I have, it might be right.

How synesthetic and/or creative are YOU?

I'm not married to Schrödinger's Enya? :(



You Are Sulfur




People often misunderstand you. You are more of an optimist than you seem.

You are quirky, charming, and creative. You like to celebrate your uniqueness.



You are emotionally authentic at all costs. You let your true feelings be known.

You make the most of your experiences. You want to squeeze as much as you can out of every moment.





Your Soul Has Green Eyes




You are easily excited and inspired. You are engaged with the world in many different ways.

You won't let anyone intimidate you. You can pull out the big guns when you need to.



Like everyone else, you have your fair share of self-doubts. You try to rise above questioning yourself too much.

You are naturally graceful and charming. Your humility and natural honesty draws people toward you.




That's Enya's eye color, YAY!!!

matt1993: (no-edged sword)
(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 [livejournal.com profile] 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)

This entry is late for your journal
matt1993: (aha!)
In about 27 minutes, I have to leave for a college visit. This time, I'm gonna be staying overnight in a dorm with current students, so I'll be back Monday. Let's hope that nobody asks me whether or not I listen to a really popular band...

Also, yesterday I uploaded my 100th userpic! Yay!! Special thanks to [livejournal.com profile] an_bhean_airgid for posting the comment that required me to upload this userpic for my reply!

Also, something I've been wondering: Y'see, whenever I get a LiveJournal comment and am worried about what it might say, for some reason I always scroll straight to the bottom of the comment notification as quick as possible, then scroll back up slowly to the comment. Does anyone else do this? And if so, do you have any idea why it would feel safer to scroll all the way down and then back up even though it'd be the same comment either way?

Also, my left ear starting hurting for no apparent reason last Tuesday (it felt like it was either broken or constantly being pushed on), but today it doesn't seem to hurt anymore. What's weird about that is that it started hurting exactly 659 days after my first 666 dream (the number 659 appeared in a semi-recent dream) and exactly a week before the Day of Frozen Pets. Coincidence? Then again, I never had a dream with 664 in it, so the day it stopped hurting doesn't seem to be significant...

Finally, a quiz:



You Are Math



You are simply brilliant. You are bright, intelligent, and creative.

You've always had a head for numbers, and people are amazed by the math you can mentally do.



You are comfortable with theories. Abstract ideas and concepts delight you.

You think on a whole other plane. You see patterns and logic where others see chaos.




Creative, no. Everything else, spot on.

It's funny you should ask this, because eight days ago, I just happened to think of a few creative solutions to the gun control issue. :)

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

Answer View Answers

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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. :)

What are your New Year's resolutions? Do you think you'll stick to any of them? If so, for how long?

Answer View Answers

I have two this year:

1) To do, on average, less than four stupid things per day (i.e. 1,459 or less throughout the year). And yes, [livejournal.com profile] pathvain_aelien, I know everyone does stupid things, but I decided I want to see if I actually do so more often than most people like it always seems like. Anyway, I'll probably be able to keep this one until January 3.
2) To work on one or more of my various semi-creative projects (i.e. new LJ userpics, Moya's Space Log [For anyone that's reading this from the recent answers page, that's a story I tried to write for NaNoWriMo that's based on Super Mario Galaxy 2 but with Enya and Moya joining the Mario Bros. It's in a custom friends group, so comment here if you want to read it], Ours Will You 1-Up [which sadly has been under new management for over a year now], etc.) at least an hour (if more than one project, at least an hour altogether) a day for at least 317 days of the year (giving me 4 days per month, a little less than a day per week, to procrastinate or have an unreasonable amount of homework). I'll probably be able to keep this one until January 5.

Procrastinate reposting this entry
matt1993: (infinite-paragraph essay)
It's 8:35PM on a school night, which means I have to get off the computer in 55 minutes. To win NNWM, I would have to write 17,169 more words. This means that I would have to type at over 312 WPM in order to finish on time.

*sigh* My only chance at being creative enough to participate in NaNoWriMo, and I blew it by procrastinating too much.

GAME OVER

Doot-doot-doot, doot-doot-doot-doot, doot doot doot... (that's supposed to be the game over music from Super Mario Galaxy & Super Mario Galaxy 2)

I'm still gonna write Moya's Space Log for y'all, though!

You've been through a lot lately, huh? Maybe you should just take a break for a while, Captain.

When you doodle, what shapes, patterns, and/or creatures do you find yourself drawing? What do you think it says about you?

Fractals (usually the Koch snowflake or similar fractals) and 4D cubes. I think it says that I'm nerdy but not very creative.

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
