Happy New Year everyone!

I'm finally gonna post what I gave and received for Christmas even though it's still an incomplete list. I wasn't trying to make posting this around the new year and posting my New Year's memes around Christmas a tradition by doing it this way two years in a row, but I guess it happened anyway.

← 2012 2014 →

What I got:

- Super Mario 3D World (as I've mentioned) from Mom (and she also preordered Mario Kart 8)
- Wreck-It Ralph game for 3DS
- Mario Party: Island Tour (although I can't play it all the way yet because my R button broke again :( )
- Portal and Portal 2 from [livejournal.com profile] ellaina02 (The first two Xbox games I've ever owned. I'd realized this year that I've thought "This Xbox game looks cool, but I don't think it'd be worth getting an Xbox just for this one game" enough times that it might be worth asking for an Xbox and some of those games for Christmas. Except I eventually decided I'd rather have PC versions of them, so that's what I got. :) )
- DVD of Monsters University
- The Hyperbole and a Half book and Garfield: From the Trash Bin from [livejournal.com profile] pathvain_aelien
- "I ♥ Enya" T-shirt (contrary to what this userpic implies, I didn't have such a shirt until now) from Jake
- Garfield "I hate Mondays" 2014 calendar from Mom
- GameStop gift card from my roommate
- $50 from my grandparents

What I gave:

- I got Mom an Air Supply CD, a new pair of headphones, and a butterfly needlepoint
- I got Dad a subscription to a magazine I thought he'd be interested in
- I got my grandparents a turtle solar light for their garden, since they like turtles
- I got [livejournal.com profile] pathvain_aelien a book or two, some supplies for knitting, and I think something else
- I got Jake some supplies for painting
- I got Nace filters for his humidifier
- I got my roommate a DVD of the Mortal Instruments movie

And there was more (because I know I got ellaina02 something), but I don't remember it all now and I probably have some of these mixed up with things that I considered giving until I decided on something else to give.

Yes, I'm a bad person for not remembering what I got everyone. You don't need to remind me :(

Speaking of me being a bad person... what entry was the last straw now? Because a couple of recent entries in my journal don't have any comments at all, so I feel the need to ask again...

- My annual Garfield calendar from Mom
- Paid account extension from Mom and renewed add-on userpics from [livejournal.com profile] ellaina02. Notice that I finally took down my blackout userpics from the WCIT-12 protest and started using userpics other than the one blackout userpic that didn't become inactive again!
- Assorted candy from Mom
- Mario pajama pants from Jake
- Pocketknife from my grandfather, and $50 from him and his wife

What I gave for Christmas:

- I got Dad a 10-in-1 survivalist tool
- I got Mom a Patricia Cornwell book: The Bone Bed
- I got Jake some tea from Adagio: earl grey, mango oolong, and... I don't remember the other one
- I got [livejournal.com profile] pathvain_aelien two books: Murder Most Royal by Jean Plaidy and The Fall of Anne Boleyn: A Countdown
- I got my grandpa and his wife an Olive* Garden gift card
- I got Nace an iTunes gift card

*I still haven't made any comics for Lightning Made of Owls, and I already typed "Oliver" instead of "Olive" by accident at first?

Wii wish U...um...had a good reason to repost this entry?

Be prepared twice the time?

  • Right now I am way too: a little paranoid
My family had Chinese food for dinner, and Dad and I got the exact same fortune:

"The wise thing to do is to prepare for the unexpected."

Wonder if it means something?

Another interesting finding - my lucky numbers were 4, 9, 16, 25, 37, and 40... which is 2², 3², 4², 5², 6²+1, and 7²-9. Okay, so 37 isn't exactly 6² and 40 isn't even particularly close to 7², but still...

The wise thing to do is repost this entry
(or maybe it's the foolish thing; I can't tell)

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!!!

It's my party and I'll juxtapose Mario and Moya if I wanna

Happy 17th birthday to me!

I got some of my birthday presents early:
- EDIT: I forgot to mention this, but the Video Games Live concert was an early birthday present.
- a Wallace & Gromit DVD from [livejournal.com profile] pathvain_aelien's friend Elise
- Super Mario Galaxy 2 (including stragedy guide)...I forgot who got me this! P_A probably knows, though. Mom.
- paid LJ account extension from [livejournal.com profile] ellaina02
- $50 from my grandparents

I got these at exactly midnight: (Well, not exactly, but you know.)
- Super Mario Bros. movie from P_A Stephen (To anyone here who hates it, just know that I am aware that it's way different from the games and I still wanna see it. 'Kay?)
- Moya Brennan CD from P_A (For those who don't know, Moya is Enya's sister who composes music in a similar style.)
- money for movies, I think from Mom Nope, from Dad

EDIT: If, due to some hole in the fabric of space and time, you can't tell, I'm terrible at remembering who got me what. :(

( And, of course, the Museum of Accomplishments )

Moya is part Yoshi!!...nope, it still feels weird to juxtapose her with anything Mario.

200th post!

Mon, Aug. 17th, 2009 16:09
matt1993: (afer ventus or the river sings backwards)
  • Location: The detect button doesn't know peace fear fire either
  • Soundtrack: Enya - On My Way Home in C Minor
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. :(

Parental Involvement
Are you friends with your parents?

Dad? Sure. Mom? You gotta be kidding me.

While I'm retroactively adding to old entries, I might as well mention I was probably in a bad mood when I posted this

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

Go to my sticky entry for more.
