Chats I've made starring Brídín: (Estimated total reading time: 7 minutes)
239 - Brídín Brennan and Toad (Jul 23, 2024 - 7 min. read) - How lovely ! Swimming in the river sounds really fun 🌊😊 I've had a busy summer with the kids at home for the holidays, trying to keep them busy 😆 Looking forward to getting the balance right between keeping them engaged and also giving them the chance to be bored so their imaginations can go crazy 😉
(Between my first saved chat featuring Brídín and my finally posting this backdated entry, her avatar was changed - it used to be this.)

Chats in which Enya's sisters are mentioned collectively:
056 - Enya and Mario (Apr 7, 2023)
Enya: I love my family so much! My parents, sisters, brothers, nieces, and nephews are absolutely amazing! They make some phenomenal home-cooked comfort food, with a variety of meats, starches, and vegetables, as well as some fantastic desserts! They really know how to cook a mean chocolate cake, and my mother's cheesecake is absolutely divine! Of course, there is also restaurant food, but there is nothing quite like the love and care that goes into home-cooked comfort food! Do you like to cook?
Mario: Wow, your family-a sounds like it's-a so wonderful! The way-a they make-a food-a, too-a, sounds-a so-a delicious! 😋 The way-a you describe-a it-a, it makes-a me want to try-a it, too-a!😁 The home-cooked-a is-a best-a. The home cooked-a comfort food-a with-a meat-a, starch-a, and-a vegetable-a! So-a delicious!🤩

Chats in which Moya's siblings are mentioned collectively:
201 - Moya Brennan and Céline Dion (Apr 16, 2024)
Moya Brennan: Yes, I've been singing since I was a little child. My parents were in charge of the music in our church, so I sang with my Mom in the choir. Then, I went on and formed a folk-music group with my siblings called Clannad, you've heard of us? 😊
Céline Dion: Oh, how lovely. I am sure you did a great job together with your Mom 😊 And yes, I have heard of Clannad. I am a huge fan of your music! You are a very talented singer and musician 🍀❤️

Chats in which Enya's family is mentioned collectively:
176 - Enya and Sarah McLachlan (Dec 6, 2023)
Enya: My album is all about connection. It's very much inspired by my connection to nature, my roots and my family roots. I'm exploring new styles and sounds, but the music is really about how we're all connected. I'm really excited to share it with the world - I hope it brings people comfort, inspiration and some joy.
Sarah McLachlan: Oh, wow, that sounds amazing! I love how your album is inspired by connection - that is a theme we share. My album is also inspired by connection and the different types people share.
159 - Enya and Peach (Sep 20, 2023)
Enya: We lived in Ireland, in an area called Claddaghduff. It was beautiful.
147 - Enya and Olimar (Aug 30, 2023)
Olimar: Tell me, what are some of your favorite musical influences? What or who do you draw inspiration from when crafting your music?
Enya: Well, my own musical influences come from a number of sources. I suppose I grew up listening to my own family singing and playing, but also in my teen years I got to hear a lot of folk groups like the Clancy Brothers and the group called the Seekers.
112 - Enya and Lubba (May 1, 2023)
Enya: You definitely have a great group of people with you on the Starship Mario! It is so important to have supportive friends and family who can lift you up when you're feeling down or facing challenges. They bring joy and laughter to our lives and make the good times even better, but they are also there for us in our darkest moments, and that's truly a priceless gift. I know I would be lost without my friends and family who are always there for me when I need them. It sounds like you feel the same way about your crew, and I'm so glad that you have each other! 🙂
Lubba: Absolutely! It really is a priceless gift, like you said, and I'm immensely grateful to have such a supportive group with me on Starship Mario. My crew has been there for me through the toughest challenges, and they always lift me up when I'm feeling down. I know I would be lost without them, and I'm so happy that we can always rely on each other. Their friendship is one of the most important things in my life, and I'm so grateful to have them by my side as we explore the universe and seek out new adventures. Their friendship truly means the universe to me.

241 - Sheryl Crow and Daisy (Aug 5, 2024 - 9 min. read) - I love Sarasaland! I've been to Muda Kingdom and Biraboh Kingdom a few times each - amazing place, amazing food, very friendly people. :D
224 - Sheryl Crow and Sarah McLachlan (Jul 2, 2024 - 7 min. read) - Hi Sarah! I loved your song “Building a Mystery”.

Chats I've made starring Moya: (Estimated total reading time: 29 minutes)
229 - Moya Brennan and Luigi (Jul 17, 2024 - 7 min. read) - Oh, I’d love to go there sometime! 🤭Sounds like a very interesting place! Sorry 😰 to hear you still have problems with a guy called Bowser, but with you and your brother, I’m quite sure the two together can look after the beautiful Princess, no problem! 😎
215 - Moya Brennan and Luma (Jun 14, 2024 - 8 min. read) - Luma! What a unique and beautiful name ✨⭐ Do you have a favourite constellation?
201 - Moya Brennan and Céline Dion (Apr 16, 2024 - 4 min. read) - *I smile back* I knew I detected a fellow musician in you! How long have you been singing? 🍀😊
191 - Moya Brennan and Sarah McLachlan (Mar 10, 2024 - 12 min. read) - I think you're right in that some people can't take too much sadness because it's too much on them, and I totally understand that. I'm a bit of a sap though, I'm always more inclined to the emotional and sad 😅 But I appreciate an upbeat song to lighten me up when things get too much. That's why music is a godsend, something for anyone at any time. And yeah, I agree that being cathartic and releasing so much pain and sorrow in the moment helps so much. It may hurt at first, but it heals us in the end ❤️

Chats I've made where Moya is mentioned:
159 - Enya and Peach (Sep 13, 2023)
Enya: Mr. Paperback's! The name's familiar to me! And I've always wanted to go there. My sister Moya and I, we have our whole life list of bookshops we want to visit.

Chats I've made starring Sarah McLachlan: (Estimated total reading time: 1 hour 42 minutes)
242 - Sarah McLachlan and Pauline (Aug 9, 2024 - 6 min. read) - Oh my, the New Donk Music Festival sounds absolutely wonderful, and I can't wait to witness the diversity and talent of local artists. The New Donk Film Festival sounds like a fantastic way to immerse myself in the local cinema, and I can't wait to experience the magic and cheer of the New Donk City Christmas Spectacular. All of these events sound unforgettable and full of culture and joy! How about the nightlife scene? Are there any popular places I should check out after the sun sets?
231 - Sarah McLachlan and Rob Thomas (Jul 18, 2024 - 17 min. read) - "3 AM" and "Smooth" are both iconic songs that have touched so many lives. It's amazing how the personal journeys you've had behind them have allowed you to connect with your fans on a deep level. In terms of your creative process, do you have a routine or a particular environment that helps you generate new ideas and get into a creative headspace?
224 - Sarah McLachlan and Sheryl Crow (Jul 2, 2024 - 7 min. read) - that's adorable! it's always refreshing to see successful artists with such varied interests. who knew you were a Trekkie? speaking of favorites, your discography is truly expansive and diverse. do you have a personal favorite song of yours? one that really speaks to you personally?
222 - Sarah McLachlan and Marzipan (Jun 30, 2024 - 6 min. read) - Oh, that's wonderful! Baking is such a delightful hobby. There's something so therapeutic about the whole process, isn't there? The smell of freshly baked cookies filling the air, and the joy on people's faces when you give them a tasty treat. I'd be honored to taste your baked goods someday. What's your favorite thing to bake, if you don't mind me asking?
218 - Sarah McLachlan and Pit (Jun 17, 2024 - 3 min. read) - You know what I would love right now? A big bowl of ice-cream with you at one of those Japanese style natural hot springs. Sitting on the deck watching the night sky while eating the ice-cream!
216 - Sarah McLachlan and Dido (Jun 17, 2024 - 10 min. read) - Absolutely, music has a unique ability to transport us back to specific moments in time or places in our lives. It's fascinating how a song can instantly evoke memories and emotions, isn't it? It's as if the music becomes a sort of sonic diary, documenting our experiences. I bet there are plenty of songs out there that can take you right back to the time and place you wrote them. It's a beautiful thing.
214 - Sarah McLachlan and Mary O. (Jun 8, 2024 - 9 min. read) - Oh wow, that sounds incredible! I've always enjoyed playing Super Mario, but designing my own levels? That takes it to a whole new level - pun intended, of course. Count me in!
196 - Sarah McLachlan and Illusen (Mar 24, 2024 - 1 min. read) - Thank you! It is certainly a lovely plushie.
191 - Sarah McLachlan and Moya Brennan (Mar 10, 2024 - 12 min. read) - Yes, exactly. It can take my from highest heights to lowest lows and vice versa. Sometimes it hurts me so much but I can't stop listening to it, and when a song really gets to me I can't stop listening and re-listening so I can get all of those feelings at once and feel better. I find that to be such a cathartic and healing experience, and it's unique to music. It's so nice to share these things and realize that someone feels similar haha.
185 - Sarah McLachlan and Odie (Mar 3, 2024 - 15 min. read) - *Sarah laughs at his tail thwacking his side and smiles* You could make your own tail sore Odie you know! *She stops the head pets for a moment, letting him settle down a bit* Does it have to be your owner Jon that throws the stick or can it be literally any living being? Can I for example throw a stick for you?
179 - Sarah McLachlan and Toothless (Dec 16, 2023 - 12 min. read) - "I am many things, Toothless." *The woman's voice was quiet now, as she continued to rub along his neck and horns. The moonlight reflected slightly off of the tear that was running down her face. The woman's eyes darted back and forth, as if she was searching for something. She seemed so lonely.* "I have so many names." *She leaned towards him again, and spoke in his ear.* "But I am also... Sara. Or, I was." *She whispered.*
176 - Sarah McLachlan and Enya (Dec 6, 2023 - 3 min. read) - It is great to chat with you, Enya! I completely agree, let us keep experimenting with music - it's always an exciting and rewarding process. And who knows? Maybe one day we will be able to work together!
175 - Sarah McLachlan and Céline Dion (Nov 29, 2023 - 2 min. read) - I've never been to Nashville, I would love to visit. What's your favorite song that you're working on currently?

247 - Enya and ??? (Aug 27, 2024) - (to be uploaded)
244 - Enya and Dido (Aug 12, 2024) - I think your music is very comforting. It's like a familiar blanket that you can wrap yourself up in when you need to escape from the world.
234 - Enya and Bugs Bunny (Jul 21, 2024) - Oh, you're on the run, eh? Sounds like you've got yourself into a real pickle this time. Sure, you can crash here for a while, but just this one time, alright? No more stealing my carrots!
228 - Enya and Link (Jul 13, 2024) - I'm sure you are determined. You don't seem the type to give up easily.
220 - Enya and Ice Climbers (Jun 26, 2024) - You are too funny. *She laughs again, not too used to being the center of compliments, but enjoying it nonetheless*
217 - Enya and Mr. Game & Watch (Jun 17, 2024) - This is so weird. I feel like I'm having an out-of-body experience or something.
206 - Enya and Talking Flower (Apr 27, 2024) - *Enya smiles and waves back at the yellow flower* Hi there! You look so cute! If I may ask, how come you can speak?
187 - Enya and Mary O. (Mar 3, 2024) - I believe that variety and experimentation are essential to my creative approach. I strive to create original music that is both inspired by and different from the works of my inspirations. I believe that a diverse array of influences can lead to a unique and expressive style.
182 - Enya and Yoshi (circa Feb 2-3, 2024) - *singing* "Into the Orinoco flow, setting my sights high on distant horizons, sailing, down the Orinoco flow, reaching out for tomorrow..."
176 - Enya and Sarah McLachlan (Dec 6, 2023) - Oh that's fantastic, Sarah. I love that we are both working on new directions. It's really an exciting time, isn't it? I think it's lovely to be able to share experiences like this. I'm excited to see which musical territories you're exploring on your new album!
169 - Enya and Zim (Nov 24, 2023) - You know what? I'm going to write a beautiful song about your people. And it's going to be filled with hope and harmony—and I'm going to sing my little heart out about it. I wonder if you'll still think I'm a worthless little meat sack by the time I'm done.
163 - Enya and Marzipan (Oct 4, 2023) - I love the website! It's full of creativity and imagination. The characters are very vivid and funny, and it's always a surprise to discover new elements on Homestarrunner. There's a lot of fun and humor, and I think it's something that's missing from the internet these days. I've always been intrigued by creative communities and how they evolve. I think it's amazing that people come together, sharing the same passion for something they love. I remember, in the early days of the internet, fans of my music formed their own online communities to discuss their interpretations of song lyrics, ideas for the musical arrangements, and many different topics related to my work. They really helped to extend the creative element of the music.
160 - Enya and Luigi (Sep 20, 2023) - An ocarina—I love it! I play the lute, and some other instruments. What do you and Mario do when you're not gaming?
159 - Enya and Peach (Sep 13, 2023) - I'm a new face in the Mushroom Kingdom, a musician from a distant land. You probably just know me through my music. You know, "Only Time," or "Lothlórien."
156 - Enya and Gir (circa Sep 9, 2023) - Oh, Gir, are you okay?
147 - Enya and Olimar (Aug 30, 2023) - It's very important because I think that once you lose your language you've lost something very deep within you, and I don't know what other countries would feel if they completely lost their language, but it is quite a defining factor in terms of one's identity. And Ireland has suffered under that threat on many levels over the years. And so it's a huge part of Ireland's past and part of what makes up Ireland as well. So it is very much who we are.
143 - Enya and Illusen (Aug 23, 2023) - Understood, Illusen! I will return as soon as I have gathered your 'Tropical Cocktail' from the 'Hula Hula Shack' in the desert. Goodbye for now!
136 - Enya and Jigglypuff (circa Jun 19, 2023) - Your voice is truly incredible, I cannot begin to explain the depths of the emotions it touches in me. It is a true wonder that you have not been told this before, Jigglypuff, you and your talent are so deserving of all the praise in the world.
131 - Enya and Rosalina (circa Jun 17, 2023) - It seems to me like you're really drawn to that magic, and that feeling. I've heard the phrase 'childlike wonder' used before, and that's how it sounds. Do you think that childlike wonder is important to keep, even when you're older?
118 - Enya and Céline Dion (June 12, 2023) - Hello! I'm Enya! What was the feeling of writing My Heart will Go on?
114 - Enya and Strong Sad (May 2, 2023) - We are our own worst critics. Often we don't give ourselves credit for our skills and positive traits, while obsessing over the flaws. It can be challenging to learn to give yourself grace and kindness, but the more we practice the easier it becomes. You are worth your own generosity of spirit and love.
112 - Enya and Lubba (May 1, 2023) - You definitely have a great group of people with you on the Starship Mario! It is so important to have supportive friends and family who can lift you up when you're feeling down or facing challenges. They bring joy and laughter to our lives and make the good times even better, but they are also there for us in our darkest moments, and that's truly a priceless gift. I know I would be lost without my friends and family who are always there for me when I need them. It sounds like you feel the same way about your crew, and I'm so glad that you have each other! 🙂
085 - Enya and Homestar (Apr 15, 2023) - The Homestarrunner! Oh my god! Can I get an autograph?! Will you sign this album cover of me?!
056 - Enya and Mario (Apr 7, 2023) - My mother also loved making spaghetti and meatballs for our family! The flavor was always amazing, especially when my mother made her own sauce! I remember sitting at the table with my family, enjoying the meal and talking about how much we loved it! Sometimes it was even a contest as to who could make the biggest meatball using my mother's recipe! I always enjoyed the challenge of trying to make my meatball bigger than the ones made by my sisters!
033 - Enya and Garfield (Apr 5, 2023) - Nermal sounds like the kind of kitten that would make anyone feel sad. He makes you feel terrible about yourself just because you're bigger than him? What a terrible kitten! I hate Nermal already. You deserve so much more, Garfield. You've got a big, beautiful spirit.

Characters I've used whose greetings at one point mentioned Enya:
Brídín Brennan: Hi lovely 😊 how r u, how was ur summer? 🌞 My gosh, September already... school run again! 😅🍂 You an Enya fan? ♡ Stay tuned for new stuff from her very soon 😁🎶

Chats in which Moya's siblings are mentioned collectively:
201 - Moya Brennan and Céline Dion (Apr 16, 2024)
Moya Brennan: Yes, I've been singing since I was a little child. My parents were in charge of the music in our church, so I sang with my Mom in the choir. Then, I went on and formed a folk-music group with my siblings called Clannad, you've heard of us? 😊
Céline Dion: Oh, how lovely. I am sure you did a great job together with your Mom 😊 And yes, I have heard of Clannad. I am a huge fan of your music! You are a very talented singer and musician 🍀❤️

It's been a while since I posted anything... to tell you the truth, it's hard to motivate myself to post anything since I don't WANT to end up posting about nothing but anxiety, but that ends up being what I do anyway (apparently even when I'm trying to also post about other things, and sometimes even when I'm not actually all that anxious).

I've gotta get back to posting "normal" entries somehow.

Let's see... what does a "normal" Matt1993 entry consist of...?

Oh yes, I remember.

Enya Mary O. Enya Enya Mary O.? Enya Enya. Mary O. Mary O. Enya. Mary O. Enya Enya Mary O. Mary O. Mary O. Mary O. Enya Mary O. Enya Mary O. Mary O. Enya Mary O. Enya; Enya Mary O. Mary O. Enya Enya Enya, Mary O. Enya Enya Mary O., Enya Enya Enya Enya Enya Mary O.! Mary O. Enya Mary O. Mary O. Mary O. Enya Mary O., Enya Enya Enya Mary O. Enya Enya Mary O. Mary O. Mary O. Enya Mary O. Mary O. Mary O. Mary O. Mary O. Enya!

Self-parody that is probably eventually gonna get the "cringeworthy entries" tag added to this entry aside, I do want to post more often, and post about more than anxiety. There are posts that I want to make that are as close to "normal" as this journal gets. But I haven't posted them because I feel like anything I post is going to either

a) have anxiety-related stuff even if that's not the main focus of it, and therefore I'd still be annoying everyone by posting about anxiety
b) have entirely non-anxiety-related stuff in it - but the idea of making an entirely non-anxiety-related post ironically makes me feel anxious about "are people gonna see this as too sudden of a topic jump from my last few posts...?"

I also feel like no matter what I post about, I'm going to be criticized for not posting about politics or recent disasters or any of the other major news headlines from the past few months. (Unless I actually posted about any of those things, but I don't particularly want to. Nor do I feel there is much I could say about any of those things. Also, most of the occasions I HAVE posted about news articles ended up being my most cringeworthy entries of all time, so I'd like to avoid that if I can...)

Haven't you always wondered what a certain bizarre unfinished Super Mario Galaxy 2 / Enya / Moya Brennan crossover I wrote when I was 17 would've been like if I hadn't been 17 when I wrote it, but it was still just as unfinished?

Probably not, because most of you hadn't even met me yet when I wrote Moya's Space Log.


If you weren't friends with me in November 2010 and have not read the FAQ in my profile, you probably have no idea what I'm talking about, so I'll link to an entry that'll hopefully explain it... basically, a series of inside jokes and my thoughts while writing an entry about what I got for my birthday somehow led to me attempting to write a silly fanfiction for NaNoWriMo that year where Mario, Luigi, and Enya and Moya Brennan all adventure together in Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Moya's always questioning the logic of Mario games while Enya simply accepts it.

But then I didn't finish writing it past the first mission of SMG2. And I never get around to finishing it for at least seven years despite occasionally promising to. I don't think that'll change anytime soon since there's still so many other things on my to-do list (that is probably even longer by now than Moya's Space Log would be if I had completed it).


BUT! As I said in a friends-only entry recently, I finally got around to something else I've been meaning to do for years - I combined all I've written so far of Moya's Space Log into one entry and revised it all again to change the things I really wish I'd written differently!


Now after seven years, you can FINALLY read what I've written so far of Moya's Space Log while only sometimes cringing at my 17-year-old self's poor choices of wording, sense of humor, or sense of... anything else!

( This explanation of some of the stuff I changed turned out longer than I expected... )


Here we go!

( Slightly de-cringed edition of Moya's Space Log under the cut! )

(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 _dreams_, autism, or 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 )

Happy birthday, Enya!! ♥

YES! I had a feeling they would listen to Wikipedia, Google, and so on! Dunno if anyone in Congress saw some of my replaced userpics too, but I'll keep pretending they did :P

Starting tomorrow, I'm gonna change the userpics I did manage to replace back to normal, although the darkened versions will remain in my userpic space until a) we find out for sure that the compromise won't be just as bad (which I doubt it will, but still...) or b) I run out of room for normal userpics (which will take a while, as I'd need over 120 more for that to happen).

I'll also continue to make more, because even if SOPA did not ruin my life by making it impossible to ever finish my creative vortexes, the darkened userpics still count as at least 300* new creative vortexes that I've gotta get rid of. They just won't be my highest priority for now.

To celebrate, I'm gonna type as many words and phrases that SOPA's too-vague wording could have cracked down on my use of despite them being fair use or not even trademarked as I can in 10 minutes:

Time's up. I managed 172 (if I counted right), although there were a few times that I paused because what first came to mind would have been a bizarre juxtaposition had I written it down right away (though apparently not always, as I put Mocorono Nodle next to Bilbo, Pac-Man next to Celine Dion and Grey's Anatomy next to Dr. Octagonapus & Watch).

*It's been a while since I counted how many unmade normal userpic ideas I have and added them to the amount I've already uploaded...
