(I hope I don't end up overusing this and my previous entry's style of subject line as much as I overused "When the End Times come, we will all <verb> the <Noun Phrase> of the Apocalypse" back in the day...)


One (I hope) last entry before I actually go through with changing my journal style, because I really don't want this to be the first thing I post about after I change it:


So, a couple of days ago, I Googled "overcoming stress" and found some of these articles, which led me to the rest even though they're not all necessarily about stress:

http://blogs.psychcentral.com/nlp/2013/12/10-signs-you-are-emotionally-attached-to-a-negative-past/

These helped me feel a LOT better!... at first.

Then I got to these:

http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2014/02/11/beware-of-she-wolves/

When I read these, they resonated REALLY well with how I felt about the Forbidden Comment Threads! I thought my depression would be over for good!

...at first.

But then I read the comments on the last two articles. Now, despite having at one point almost completely gotten over my worry about suddenly being hated by everyone, even you guys, if I don't word something very well or it gets misread, I'm now back where I started. Because the comments on those articles suggest - no, prove - that I am a horrible, pathetic excuse for a human being just for feeling the way I feel about the Forbidden Comment Threads. And that I can never be forgiven for ANYTHING. :(

Characters whose percentages were higher this time: Leonard McCoy (Bones), Chekov, Will Riker, Uhura, Picard, Mr. Sulu

Characters whose percentages stayed the same: redshirt, Kirk, Worf, Beverly Crusher

Characters whose percentages were lower this time: Deanna Troi, Data, Geordi LaForge, Spock, Mr. Scott

I still don't know a whole lot about Star Trek (having only seen two movies and only being almost sure that those are the only two movies so far, and not having seen the show so the movies were hard to follow along occasionally), so while I did skim a few articles on memory-alpha.org, it's going to be mostly up to you to figure out what this says about me.

I do have a couple of guesses, though:
- First and second place were a redshirt and Deanna Troi last time; I had a feeling that a) first place would be a redshirt again but b) second place would probably be a male character this time, given what the Forbidden Comment Threads have done to the way I think. Not only was I right about both of these predictions, it also makes sense that Troi is still in the top 5 because she's a counselor and so she probably does think a lot like me. In fact, now I'm kind of surprised that she isn't still second or at least third.
- It seems to me that a lot of Star Trek fans argue about whether Kirk or Picard is better; given how much I try to avoid arguing of any kind (especially after the Forbidden Comment Threads), it makes sense that they got exactly the same percentage this time. Although last time, Kirk got 35% and Picard got 25%. That's going to start a flame war even though that was last time and I don't know what (if anything) that says about me, isn't it? Wait, of course it won't - the inevitable flame war about gender will probably start first...

Unnoticeably repost again
matt1993: (infinite-paragraph essay)
Sorry I haven't posted or checked my friends page in a while - I once again had so much homework pile up on me at once that a) I didn't have much free time and b) whenever I did, I was so tired of having to work on stuff that I ended up spending it playing video games instead.

Not only that, but the past two weeks in Psychology class, we discussed the chapter that reminded me of the Forbidden Comment Threads the most when I glanced at random pages from my textbook... *shudder* Gender, Sex, and Sexuality.

Luckily, only one argument ever happened throughout all the class sessions about that chapter, I managed to stay out of it, and it wasn't even bad enough that anyone who's even slightly more emotionally stable than I am is likely to also count it as an argument. But there were still a lot of things said in the textbook and the lectures that reminded me of the FCT... *shudder*


At least we're done with that chapter, and it's Spring Break now!!! And I got to see The LEGO Movie yesterday!!


Hopefully, I'll make progress on something this Spring Break...


Are men or women more likely
to repost this entry? (please
don't answer that because it'll
probably turn into the
Forbidden Comment Threads...)

But enough about you
If it were possible to clone a same-age version of yourself, do you think the two of you would be friends? Do you think you'd enjoy each other's company or find the similar point of view boring?

Answer View Answers

As long as he has the same personality as me rather than being a stereotypical teenage boy, that'd be perfect! Bonus points if he isn't autistic.

I dunno if I've posted about this before (and bedtime's getting close, so I don't have time to check), but in English class I had to make a posterboard of the four poems I had to write and some symbols and/or quotes relating to the poems and/or myself.

One of my quotes was the backwards Enya lyric "Now woods think Matt is stupid, but first, I'm giving it end," since it actually had to do with one of my poems (about not making sense). I put it on with my redesigned Enya sprite. Once I was finished gluing everything, my mom pointed out that the Enya sprite was coming off. No, wait, actually she said:

"This little guy's coming off."

"little guy's coming off"

"little guy"

"guy"

Maybe this is what Enya meant by "Under star, we met the gender." (backwards Amarantine; stupid the fact that OWY1U's not up right now) She's quite tall, too (especially if you don't compare her to Waenya or know what Waenya looks like yet).

Are women or men bigger cheats?
Do you think men or women are more likely to cheat if they know they won't get caught? Do you believe in marriage?

Men that aren't me. Yes, I believe in marriage.

Bite Me
From Dr. Polidori's Lord Ruthven to Stephenie Meyer's Edward Cullen, the annals of vampire lore are filled with attractive, charming bloodsuckers. Which one would you most want to be bitten by?

Answer View Answers

I have a feeling no more than 10 males answered this before me, but what the sail.

Anyways, I'd say come to think of it, technically this is a spoiler for an early Buffy episode - season 1 or 2 I think? )

If that doesn't count, then... well, it's been a REALLY long time since I've played AdventureQuest, and I don't feel like logging in just to find a name, but you know that vampire queen in Darkovia or whatever? She gets second place.

Screenshot of a Facebook ad asking if I (a guy) am a better sorority girl than xlormplover

If someone does a gender change operation on me, I might be a better sorority girl than [livejournal.com profile] xlormplover.

Xlormplover, if you're fine with your real name not being pixelized, tell me and I'll put up the non-pixelized version.

Are you a better sorority girl than a reposted entry?

Even more band names taken from conversations )

I had to spend time actually participating in drama this week since it was the last week to come up with a skit to be in and practice it, so I didn't get as many band names this week, but oh well.

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
