Well, August is over, so that means Matt1993 Nostalgia Month is over - so I changed my LJ and DW styles and userpics back to what they usually look like. (If you met me during Matt1993 Nostalgia Month and therefore don't know what I'm talking about, see this entry, or see it on DreamWidth, and then maybe see a few entries after it.)

If you do know what I'm talking about, you're probably thinking: "Waaait a minute, there's still something here that looks different from what I remember... Sure, the background went back to yellow or other yellow and Anya, Noma, Ricky, and blushy guy went back to not being as badly-drawn, but something is-- Wait, are these MY thoughts that are showing up in this entry?! Is this dork's journal reading my mind?!? I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100. It's 47. Okay, that's just scary. I'd better not start thinking about my darkest secret..."

And to all that, I say:

1) Um, the "blushy guy" is me. And the other three are Enya, Roma, and Nicky - it says so right there on the userpic. Speaking of which...

2) Yes, remember how I asked whether or not some of my userpics are legible enough and then tried to make more legible versions of some of them? But never got around to uploading those as userpics?

No, of course you don't remember, because that was years before I met at least half of you, and it's been so long that those of you who were around for it probably forgot all about it. So to refresh your memory:

one
two
three
four


Anyway... I finally got around to that - or at least, I hope I updated all the ones I meant to! Four or three years later. I still haven't even updated my sticky "list of userpics in order added" post to include these updated versions OR the 2009-style versions (retroactive or not) - or any versions of my userpics besides "what they normally looked like from late 2009 to the first half of 2017". And due to a glitch on LJ, now not even those will show up in that entry again until I edit all of the image URLs to have "https://" instead of "http://" :( *

I guess that makes me the Enya of userpic updating... But hey, I finally finished one thing I started, at least! :)

3) Don't worry, your darkest secret is safe with me. I make no guarantees about your second-darkest secret though! :P


Now to go edit every entry and comment I ever made to fix all the userpics that are broken now. :(


*They need to call HTTPS something different - I keep wanting to use that as the plural of "http". "I need to change all the https to https!" ;)
matt1993: (conga of the apocalypse)
Now that I know a lot of people are leaving LJ and moving to DreamWidth now, I feel the need to make a probably incoherent ramble about how I really don't want to have to move to DreamWidth, or even create a backup journal on DreamWidth just because everyone else is. (Unless there's a way to transfer ALL of my old entries and ALL of the comments on them there, because I'm a nostalgic guy who likes having a LJ because I get to look back at old entries and comments from several years ago and DO NOT want to lose that, especially not while I'm still not done with my trip through memory lane / catching up on things I'd went on a hiatus from checking) So if you're moving to DreamWidth or another site, PLEASE don't leave LJ entirely, okay?

This is making me so sad... In 2015 or so, LJ was already a lot less active than it used to be - now it feels like everyone who hasn't already left is leaving! :(

I'm too depressed to think of a good repost button caption
but this entry definitely needs a repost button
matt1993: (vs. giant enya fan)
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...

I can't believe it - I finished the creative vortex poll I mentioned I've been working on!!

I hope the poll shows up...

EDIT: It did, but I accidentally put "Finish rereading" as an option when it should've been "Finish rereading therapy notes" and I can't change it now. Oh well.

National Pi Day
How many digits of pi have you memorized?

Answer View Answers

3.1415926535897932386... I don't remember beyond there.

*checks to make sure these are correct*

GAH! That last decimal place I typed shouldn't be a 6! It should be a 4, then a 6!

So, despite my grapheme→color synesthesia, I have yet to memorize pi to more than 18 decimal places (19 digits altogether). Sad. :(

I did know that the 8 before it was the beginning of a string of six nonzero even digits and that no two adjacent digits in that string are identical, though, so I guess I can say I have log(1018 × (10/3)5) (because there were 3 possibilities for each of the digits after the 8) = log(411,522,633,744,855,967,078.18930041152...) = 20.614393726401687813524860483724 decimal places memorized! (or 21.614393726401687813524860483724 digits altogether) Of course, that isn't much better...

EDIT: Thanks to the Nintendo 64, I think I finally figured out a way to remember the last two of those even digits I was talking about! :D
matt1993: (truth in another out there)
So turns out ACTA was postponed today! Yay!!

I'm gonna wait a little longer before I revert my protest userpics, so that just in case we find about another bill like SOPA/PIPA/ACTA that's somehow secretly been signed by nearly enough countries for it to pass without anyone knowing for years, I'll have slightly less work to do. Until then, I'll just use the ones I didn't get to replace. :)

To celebrate, here's another Previously on the X-Files:

←POTXF's #1-2 POTXF's #4-8 →



I wonder who glued Mulder's hand to his face? Or maybe he's just taking "talk to the hand" too literally. :)

EDIT IN 2018: Not only is the image gone now, but I don't remember what any of it said :( But at least I remember that Mulder appearing to have his hand glued to his face throughout the entire thing was the best part in my opinion. :)

Secretly have reposted this entry 6 years ago

Similar to Garkov, except instead of Garfield comics it uses X-Files transcripts and screenshots. Neat! It's a lot harder to find funny stuff with this than with Garkov or the Garfield Randomizer, though...

EDIT: Finally found an interesting one!

EDIT IN 2018: It's gone now, but luckily I remember most of what it said:

SCULLY: This man's been shot.
MAN OTHER THAN MULDER (I remember assuming he was Cigarette-Smoking Man but not being sure): !!!
SCULLY: No aliens. Have you looked outside, Mulder?
MAN OTHER THAN MULDER: (with mouth agape in a bit of a smile) ...

Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones?

Answer View Answers

I'd rather lose all of my old memories, because they all distract me from everything and most of them are things I regret.

Which do you tend to regret more: things you wish you hadn't said or done or things you wish you had?

Definitely things I wish I hadn't said. There's so many of those that no matter what I do, there's often something about it that reminds me of one of them.

What is your earliest vivid memory? Why do you think this memory stands out so much in your mind?

Answer View Answers

I have absolutely no idea. The few scattered memories of my childhood I have, I can't put in any chronological order. It probably was around the time I was in therapy between the ages 3 and 4, though.

Hard habit to break
Do you have any bad habits that negatively impact your life? Are you trying to overcome them or have you learned to live with them? How do they affect you on a daily basis?

Answer View Answers

I'm not sure if this would count as a bad habit, but for me, it's forgetting stuff. I am VERY bad at remembering things, and it's really embarrassing when I'm reminded about them.

I've determined that I most likely won't ever overcome my forgetfulness, though if I count how many things I have to remember, it helps me know when I forget something.

Looking Back
LiveJournal is turning 10 and we're feeling nostalgic. What was your first LJ post about?

Answer View Answers

Here it is, in all of its old-fashioned, n00bish glory.

Hi! I'm Matt Aaron. For more info about 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).


Why, oh, WHY did I have to have only recently started posting things on the Internet for all to see?!

Apparently, I'm feeling more nostalgic than LiveJournal is, so here is a list of all of my post subjects as well:

Lazy SAT

matt1993: (updated prtsc land me)
I took the SAT and did well on the math section, fairly well on the reading and writing sections, and not that good on the essay. Then I went straight to sleep because I had gotten up at 5:30 AM. Yup, I wasted most of yet another day. :(

Also, happy Pi Day everyone! Here are all the digits I have memorized of pi:
3.14159265358979323846264
Yeah, not a lot. But I have recently been getting further; for a while I only knew 3.14159265359 because my TI-84 calculator would show 3.141592654 and when I subtracted 3.14159265 from that I got 3.59E-9.
EDIT: Turns out it was 3.5898E-9 and I only remembered part of that.

Take This Surv-- oh wait, the survey itself already said that.

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
