Good news? Turns out the Irregular Webcomic! forums are back up now and everything is intact!

Supposedly...

Bad news? Now you apparently have to log in just to VIEW anything on the forum. Including the news post that David Morgan-Mar says to read for "further info". So now I'm gonna have to create an account just to read the forum? :(

More bad news: mezzacotta is still broken. I can't see this comic or this comic. :(

(music tag should be: "Super Mario Maker soundtrack - SMB Airship theme (yeah, now I pretty much think of it as the official theme song of reading/seeing stuff I feel like I should've seen all along but didn't)")

December 25, 2009: Got Garfield's Fun Fest DVD as a Christmas present. For the record, by then I'd seen the other two 3D Garfield movies (Garfield Gets Real and Garfield's Pet Force, the latter of which actually came out after Garfield's Fun Fest I think.)

February 9, 2017: Finally actually watched it over seven years later!

And enjoyed it as much as I thought I would, but still... SEVEN YEARS.

And I kind of know why I put it off in the first place (apparently the Christmas present from that year that I was the most excited about it was New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and that was also the era when I was trying to work as hard as I could - sometimes - on a redesign for Ours Will You 1-Up that I never finished), but... how did that turn into a seven-year-and-two-month-long delay?! That's even longer than the delay before Enya finally released Dark Sky Island! And longer than how long Marzipan was out and about!

Finally get around to reposting this in 2024

The first time I took that quiz, it said I had an 80% chance of surviving a T-Rex attack. Now it's:

You'd have a 66% chance of surviving
QuizGalaxy.com
You have an above average chance of surviving a T-Rex attack. You are able to recognize what the real dangers are as opposed to the imaginary ones. Go team!

Less than before, but it's still a lot more than what I feel my actual chance of surviving would be.

My first date faux pas is still "Talking about your ex!" which still doesn't quite make sense because I've still always been single in the years since I took this quiz. I do talk about the past in general a lot, though...

(And yes, instead of just saying "Lies!" in that old entry, I put in a random backwards lyric that happened to have the word "lies" in it. I was weird back then. ;) )

My epitaph this time is:

That was one of those all-you-have-to-do-is-enter-your-name quizzes, so of course it's a different result now.

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).

Wow, now that I've changed my journal style back to what it used to be (although my actual first entry predates this style by... I think a year and a half), it IS easier to convince myself that I haven't wasted the past 3½ years worrying about being judged for everything I do! (Or at least it's easier than it was the last time I quoted my first entry. And not just because I misquoted it a little that time.)

Hopefully it'll stay that way!

By the way, you might have noticed that even though I implied that I would only change the colors of my journal back to what they were, I went ahead and changed the font back to whatever it was too. This is because soon after I changed it to Andalus in the first place, I noticed that certain special characters appear slightly misplaced from the rest of the text when written in Andalus (e.g. "Schächter", "Schrödinger", "Wænya" - but apparently not "Pokémon"), so ever since then, I occasionally considered picking a different font but never got around to it. Well, now I did!

I also changed my journal title back to "Tidbits of Matt's Life" - what it used to be long before it was "Life and times of a cancelled author". I'm still referencing "author cancelled" in the subtitle, though - it's "A cancelled author attempting to let go of the past" instead of "My board of regrets".

:)

(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:

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. :(

I'm too lazy to repost or link to the original entry, but I got pause last time.

This time:




You Are Rewind



Compared to most people, you are nostalgic and sentimental.

You are drawn to the past. Your favorite things tend to be old things.



You like to replay events in your mind after they've happened.

You're the type of person who can watch a favorite movie over and over again.






Repost this entry just like in
the good old days

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

Back to the Future
Given the choice of time travel, would you go back in time or forward?

Answer View Answers

It's actually a tough decision. I'd either go back in time to fix as many stupid mistakes as I can (especially in LJ posts) without changing who I am today too much (just enough that I don't have to regret anything that I haven't gained something valuable from), or go into the future and see what I'll regret then that hasn't happened yet and then prevent it.

Of course, I'd end up causing a paradox either way, but I'd much prefer that to having to regret so many things...

I had only 10 calculus problems for this weekend, but it took me about 2 hours to do them. Am I getting worse at math or is it just getting harder? (Just in case you forgot, I'm usually good at math.)

Obligatory quiz of the day:

You should have grown up during the Fifties.
QuizGalaxy.com
You like simpler times when you could go to the malt shop with your sweetie and park down on lover’s lane. You also like change and imagining your bright future.


Where can I get a lover’? And what is it?

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
