Color me midnight disappointed

(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 )

And now for some quizzes I HAVEN'T taken before!

Before my previous two entries, I also took several online quizzes I hadn't taken before, but saved all the results to a file on my computer hoping to post them later.

Since posting them all right now would be a bit much, I'll just post three of them today:

Oops, forgot to LJ-cut these at first )

Uh-oh...

Over the past week or so, my depression about the Forbidden Comment Threads, my ability to focus, my common sense, and my ability to speak without stumbling over words have all steadily gotten worse.

You know I've said how if I end up with too many creative vortexes stuck in my head at once, I might end up regressing? I think it's actually happening now, except most likely because of the Forbidden Comment Threads instead. I probably don't have much time left...

On some more positive notes:

- SIX new quizzes!! )

- This is my 900th entry!!! At least it is if you include my glossary. If you don't, then my next entry (whatever it happens to be) will be the 900th.

- I changed the "# comments" and "Post a comment" text in my journal to say "I glued # blenders to my face" and "Is it Saturday night already?!" (both of which are a Garfield reference or - perhaps more famously - a Square Root of Minus Garfield reference). I've been considering changing that text ever since I took Ours Will You 1-Up down and thus made "I'm #-Up"/"Will me 1-Up" stand out as oddly-phrased. (Actually, it probably stood out like that even while OWY1U was up.) And now I finally did! I also changed the current mood text to "This mood coming through", another Garfield/SROMG reference.

Glue this entry to your journal! (well, probably not all, but maybe part of it)

The Infinite Loop of PrtScLanditude (finally posted!)

(I finally posted it. Here goes nothing...)

(By the way, [livejournal.com profile] pathvain_aelien and [livejournal.com profile] ellaina02, I added a few things after the proofreading)



What's sad is that recently-- Well, okay, not that recently, due to the long amount of time it took to write this entry, have it proofread, and continue to worry about whether or not it makes sense even after I had it proofread. But last October, I was hit with a realization similar to Character 15's, and I'm not even a randomly generated webcomic character.

This post is so long, I'm even using lj-spoiler tags as lj-cuts )

Well, that's over with

I'm finally done with my second semester of college! Although so far, the only courses I know for sure I passed are Computer Science (with a B) and Chemistry Lab (with I'm not sure what). I did feel more confident about Computer Architecture and Chemistry class than I did with Computer Science, though. No idea about Statistics, though :(

I used to be good at math! In first grade, while the rest of the class was taught addition and subtraction, I was taught that and multiplication, and as those of you know, I took Calculus I as a high school junior and did well in it. Whatever happened to that?

Ah well, at least I get to relax for...about 12 days, because I have to take two summer classes and one of them's English II. :( So I'm probably still not going to catch up on my friends page yet if I want to have even the slightest chance of getting done with my program to prioritize everything before I need it for my summer classes.

Happy belated birthday to [livejournal.com profile] krickadoodle, [livejournal.com profile] squidmuse, [livejournal.com profile] barrakuda_a, [livejournal.com profile] hartlyn, [livejournal.com profile] karla_somebody, [livejournal.com profile] gettingoutthere, [livejournal.com profile] kandigurl (I think I already wished you happy birthday on Facebook on time, but still), and [livejournal.com profile] darkdragoonfan! (I know, I'm too pathetic to wish any of my LJ friends a happy birthday on time...)

Answer View Answers

Hmm... That would be hard to decide, but I'd probably choose either:

- Luigi. We'd make good friends because we've both felt left out fairly often.
- Yoshi! I've always wanted to ride around on a Yoshi...plus, I've always wondered what various songs that aren't from Mario games would sound like with the extra drums that get added to the music when you're riding Yoshi. :)
- Rosalina. Pretty much anything she says makes the universe seem beautiful, so I'd love to have her around whenever I'm depressed. And she's very pretty. Although if she became my BFF, she'd have to make the choice between leaving the Lumas behind or putting them in danger of being eaten by [livejournal.com profile] pathvain_aelien :P
- Kirby, because I'd never have to vacuum again :P
- A MissingNo., because then whenever I'm running out of something, I could just put five random objects, then one of whatever I'm running out of, into my backpack and get 128 more :)
- Mr. Game & Watch. I don't know why, but the idea of coexisting with a two-dimensional person with limited animation frames just seems interesting for some reason.
- The main character of Miegakure (unreleased video games still count, right?), because I've always wanted to go into the fourth dimension, especially when my headphones are tangled :P
- Doctor Hurley from Brain Challenge. She seems like an intelligent and interesting person. Also, my second reason for including Doctor Hurley was a dumb reason, so I'm retroactively LJ-cutting just this part in 2018 ) Also, she's cute. :)
- /crazymegavideo/ oh wait, she's from a video game that only exists in my weird dreams :P

EDIT: Ooh, thought of another good one!

- Peach, because in Super Princess Peach (which I don't have, but still) she can easily change her emotion at will, and I sure wish I could change my emotion at will :)

I once was author cancelled, but now am found

Due to my autism, it is often nearly impossible for me to find things that I need, even if I'm right next to it and/or someone is pointing right at it. Because of this, normally I have to have my mom find in two seconds something that would've taken me weeks to find.

Today, for the first time ever, the situation was reversed - Mom kept looking through my closet trying to find a pair of jeans for me to wear, and couldn't find one, and so she eventually gave up. But then, as it turns out, it was in plain sight and I found it after looking in only two places!

I doubt this means I've gotten any smarter, though, especially considering my driving skills today. If past experience continues to hold true, this will only result in me doing something really stupid tomorrow or later today. It's like the second law of thermodynamics - a decrease of entropy in one system is only possible with a greater increase of entropy in another. (And, for the record, the fact that I'm smart enough with science to know about that DOES NOT necessarily mean that I'm smart enough to drive or find stuff. Capiche?)

Now woods think Matt is stupid, but first, I'm reposting it in

College visit x¹⁸² + userpic x¹⁰⁰ + scrollbar x²⁰⁶ + ear x⁶⁵⁹ + quiz = lots of topic jumping

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.

Intelligence
Intelligence is most important in a boyfriend/girlfriend. You like to be able to talk about everything that is on your mind, and if your partner can't keep up, well, you know. You are very attracted to someone who can challenge you, and make you see things in a whole new way.
