Whatever Matt Feels Like Posting

Something was announced that I'm really excited about! Probably involving at least one of my celebrity crushes or fictional crushes! And at least one fandom I like that is unrelated to said crush - probably Vegas Stakes, seeing as it's 2020 after all.


But now I'm upset because some things happened that wouldn't really be that a big deal for most people but I'm catastrophizing about them anyway and at least one of them involves the thing I would have been excited about. Like, maybe there's a lot of drama going on or at least one of my favorite characters has been replaced.


Also, maybe my likes are now my dislikes and vice versa. Then again, maybe they aren't! Who knows??

April Fools! Now laugh.


Yeah, that's all I've got this year. Nothing seems particularly funny anymore. Not even my usual April Fools nonsense. :(

I'm done fixing all of my entries from 2013! (unless there's something I missed...) Just five more years' worth of entries (and then community entries and such...) to go! :D

Also, I got Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on Friday! Thanks, pathvain_aelien! :)

It's Friday already and not Tuesday or Wednesday... but at least this is still the most regular feature I've had in my journal since the weekly Garfield Randomizer comics in 2009!

Beat the game!
That final boss was really clever, but hard. I didn't use a single continue until there!

We got all 3 Star Coins, like a... guy who can't think of a rhyme related to this level?

Why does it rarely ask me to post here unless I've got nothing interesting to say or draw?

(Strange how this post, which is just me saying that I had nothing interesting to say about that level, had more Yeahs than some of my other posts do...)

(music tag should be: "Kid Icarus: Uprising soundtrack - The War's End (because who am I kidding, no one else will ever post LJ entries that aren't about the migration anymore...)")

Today is a completely uneventful day... or at least I'm going to have to try to convince myself of that if I want to stop completely freaking out.

Since this is a completely uneventful day, I'm going to finally get around to posting some things I've been meaning to post.

Here's some more of the results of when I revisited quizzes I first took years ago:

I don't know why I'm bothering to revisit all-you-have-to-do-is-enter-your-name quizzes, but this time around I got:

In other news, I finally got around to updating the list of amiibo I own in my LJ profile a while back - I just never posted about it until now.

And does anyone here remember the game Chip's Challenge? Well, this may be old news to some of you, but recently I found out that Chip's Challenge 2 was FINALLY released after so many years! :D

Happy Fourth of July!! :-)

Wow, so 2016 is slightly more than half over already? I still can barely believe that 2014 is over, let alone that 2015 is over!

Liberty, justice, and reposts for all

I feel like I should say something about 9/11 today.

But there's not much I can say about it that a) people haven't said already and b) I haven't said in this entry from four years ago.

The only vaguely-9/11-related entry I could potentially write that would be unique is if I finally replaced this userpic with the more legible version seen here (EDIT: That entry was friends-only for some reason, so here is the updated userpic itself [EDIT IN 2019: Welp, in 2017 I actually did replace it, so now it'd make more sense to show you the OLD version.]) and posted about that. But having September 11 be the day I update a userpic parodying my 8-year-old self's questionable grasp of reality doesn't seem like the best thing to do in memory of 9/11... yet, at the same time, I feel extremely obligated to post something that's somehow interesting and in good taste. And I can't.


I don't know why I'm really posting this... I just feel like if I don't at least post something today, people are going to wonder why I didn't (or why I already didn't post anything on September 11 in 2012, 2013, or 2014), and if I do post, people are going to wonder why I'm not writing enough. Yes, I do remember being woken up really early one morning in 2001 when I was 8 and being told about something that was happening that I didn't really understand at first, and then watching the news (which either reran a news clip from earlier that day or my family recorded it, I don't remember which), and hearing about it at school, and I remember being kind of scared at some point... but that's about all I remember of my experiences from the day itself, and I've said most of it already.

Just tell me what I'm supposed to say on September 11! And whether updating this userpic today would be a good or bad idea! I feel like I'm expected to know whether it's a good or bad idea automatically, but I don't...

Earlier today, I had what is probably the best idea I've ever had since... something that was a very good idea.

I've had this same journal style ("Pale Yellows" recolored to have a black background with the colors that the letters and digits in "matt1993" have in my synesthesia) since before the Forbidden Comment Threads - about 0;139 BFCTE, to be precise - long after I eventually discovered that seeing red and green text on a black background all the time started to hurt my eyes after a while. Before that, beginning at some point in 2009, it was "Pale Yellows" recolored with tetradic colors, which made it yellow, purple, blue, and bluish-green, if I remember correctly - and the entries had black text on a white background. And even further back, it was "Pale Yellows" with no changes to the colors. I know I changed the font at some point but I don't exactly remember when.

Anyway, even though I knew that the synesthesia version (at least the way I'd implemented it) started to hurt my eyes after a while and has probably been hurting your eyes for even longer than that (unless you're relatively new here), I put off changing it again for a REALLY long time. I don't really remember why.

Well, now I have a second reason to change it: I'm considering changing it back to the unmodified (palette-wise) version of Pale Yellows! It would hopefully feel like a new beginning or a return to the good old days in 2009 when my journal was actually interesting and not just a whole bunch of "It's been 3½ years and what happened in asperger still makes me feel like every word I say will be seen as racist, sexist, and homophobic..." entries! (speaking of, I feel that it's important to show you guys the newest reason I have for feeling that way... [EDIT IN 2019: Well, apparently the video is no longer there (probably for good reason), and the closest thing I could find to an archive of it is this (and I'd completely even forgotten what video I was talking about until I saw the title and was like "oh yeah, that thing"), so I guess I'll reluctantly have to describe it: ( though I'm cutting it because this was supposed to be a positive entry )

]) And I never did finish updating all of the images that are broken now that Ours Will You 1-Up is nope more - maybe seeing my old journal style will help motivate me to work on it!

I haven't changed it yet, though. I just feel the need to give you guys some sort of heads up that my journal might suddenly have a "new" style. :)

EDIT: Forgot to mention (in case anyone is like "Aw, but I liked how you worked your synesthesia into your journal style!"): It's possible that later on, I will find some other way to work my synesthesia's colors for "matt1993" into my journal style, but I will still take care to avoid having light text on dark backgrounds. My CS professors have made it all too clear to me that it's hard to read. :)


In other news, despite getting Tomodachi Life for my birthday last year, it wasn't until this month that I started getting really addicted to it. I'm saying this because the first step to finding a solution is admitting that I have a problem, so I will: My problem is that Enya probably still has feelings for Mario even though he's with Peach, and Zelda probably still has feelings for Strong Sad even though he's with Dido. LOL

STRONG SAD AND DIDO ARE DATING?!??!

Hi! I'm Matt Aaron. For more information on what I do most of the time, go to my profile page.

Right now I'm wondering what the next Strong Bad E-mail will be like. You should check them out (on homestarrunner.com); they are really funny and were the inspiration for some of my funny screenshots (again, more info on profile page).

...

Oh, it's no use. The past is gone now (obviously not as much so as I pretended it was in my previous entry, but still), and my journal may never again become as interesting as it used to be no matter how hard I try. Not that an entry that's partly about PrtSc Land could be interesting anyway...

In other news, remember how I said most of my classes this semester were easier than I expected? I don't even think I specifically said that I hadn't had any essays yet, and yet the day after I posted that entry, I got an essay assignment. In Programming Languages class, of all things. Due December 6, but still...

Why does that happen EVERY time I post that classes are going well?!?

Hmm...

I also expected most of my professors to give out a lot of Enya concert tickets and pre-release copies of Super Mario 3D World, but that still hasn't happened at all this semester.

In a brief moment of insanity, decide that this is interesting enough to repost

Moved back into the dorm today! :)

Classes start in 5 days...

Something to your something else! (I really need to come up with more interesting things to say so these
repost buttons won't be generic...)

I finally finished all the homework that's due tomorrow! Not much of the homework due after that, though...

I finally post an entry that I can make public and it's a generic one...
