Finally updating my profile for the first time in years!

(music tag should be: "Kid Icarus: Uprising - Dog's Theme (at this point I almost want to say that whoever here hasn't played KI:U probably should just so you might understand most of my choices for background music :P )")

Apparently, the last time I updated my LJ profile was in 2013 or 2014.

UNTIL NOW!!!

I still haven't made all of the changes I want to make, but I figure I'd mention that I'm working on it so that if you want, you can check it every now and then and see what I've updated. :)

(Note that some of the more negative things on my profile - particularly the "Dark Matt1993" LJ Trading/Tarot cards - are left over from the time I updated my profile in 2012 or 2013. I'll probably leave those up for posterity, but clarify that I've finally less worried about everyone seeing me that way. :) )

(That gave me an idea, actually... maybe I should make LJ Trading and Tarot cards based on all of my userpics? That would actually be a good way to explain some of the ones with inside jokes in them! Probably not any time soon and/or for my profile, though...)

EDIT: I forgot to mention: comments on the updates to the profile as I work on it are more than welcome :) Also, why did no one tell me that I put a LJ-cut instead of a repost button below by accident at first?

This is somehow interesting
enough to repost!

Meanwhile, in a perpendicular* universe where matt1993 actually likes discussing politics:

I'm against SOPA for all of the same reasons that the Gods of Being Able to Voice Opinions Better than Matt1993 (e.g. LiveJournal, Wikipedia, Google, Randall Munroe, Ryan North...) are - and this is coming from a guy who usually doesn't comment on anything controversial because he either becomes depressed about what side to be on or posts about an occurrence of a number like 206 in a news article or something rather than actually discussing the issue.

In fact, until SOPA is rejected, I'm going to do a clever take on the blackouts that Wikipedia, Wikia, xkcd and Dinosaur Comics (and any other websites I don't know about yet) have done - I'll blackout as many of my userpics (well, not really blackout - I'm not sure how to describe it, so just look at the userpic on this entry) as I can before the 24th (or whenever SOPA is rejected, or - if we're too unlucky for that - SOPA is repealed after becoming law). To keep this from turning out like my attempt at replacing userpics with PSL-styled variations (i.e., not getting to finish soon enough), I'm gonna upload each one as soon as I make it. Dunno how many I'll be able to replace before ~~the impending apocalypse~~ the Senate begins voting on it, though...

EDIT: These are even more difficult to make than I thought! I only got four finished today, but trust me, you don't need to see 112 shadowed userpics containing somewhere from 5 to 109 SOPA jokes to see my (and LJ's, and Wikipedia's, and Google's...) point. According to Google, the White House didn't even need one. I'm still gonna make more, though!

And yes, I know my LJ isn't well-known enough for this to have much of an impact, but I'm putting the idea out there for anyone else who wants to try it.

*It's too different from our universe for it to be parallel :P

Be a DMCAbow and not a SOPAbow

Quizzes!!

you are steelblue
#4682B4

Your dominant hues are cyan and blue. You like people and enjoy making friends. You're conservative and like to make sure things make sense before you step into them, especially in relationships. You are curious but respected for your opinions by people who you sometimes wouldn't even suspect.

Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it.

Your outlook on life is brighter than most people's. You like the idea of influencing things for the better and find hope in situations where others might give up. You're not exactly a bouncy sunshine but things in your world generally look up.
