I AM GOING TO UNFRIEND ANYONE WHO POSTS AN ENTRY ABOUT THE "LAUREL" AND "YANNY" DEBATE.

...okay, I won't really unfriend anyone because of it, but seriously - ( I'm sick enough of hearing about it that I had to post a rant about how I'm annoyed by it )

I just now found out, a little over 18 days and 8 hours before the End Times* begin, that there could be as little as only 1 or 5 hours (dunno whether these are UTC or Dubai time) before the End Times begin. (Minus 37 more minutes due to how long it took to write this entry...) And yet Google knew about it as early as November 19...

This is how I feel right now:



Anyway, I brought back ten of my blackout userpics from earlier this year when SOPA and ACTA were impending our doom. Specifically, I brought back the only ten I made that either have no text at all or still could be construed to make sense when used to protest something that threatens the freedom of the Internet in general rather than specifically anything that is currently considered fair use.

I probably won't get to make any more considering how busy I've been lately, but hopefully either everyone else's voices will still be enough to get ITU to change their minds, or after they see everyone else's voices, my ten userpics will end up being the straw that breaks the camel's back.

*Caveat: While it's interesting that this should come up so soon before December 21, I still don't think it can be considered definite proof that there's anything to that date - it's still "maybe something will happen, maybe not" to me. The only difference is the "maybe" is now mostly tied to what happens during the ITU's meeting...

This probably doesn't make a lot of sense because I had to finish writing this really quickly before they start making decisions on stuff, but oh well.

Post to your journal! There is still time!

  • Right now I am way too: nostalgic
Yep - I created my LJ account on August 19, 2007. Sad how the anniversary of LJ should happen to be the day after I accidentally deleted a lot of LJ-related stuff, though... in fact, I was so busy after that happened, I didn't get to finish this post until the day after the anniversary of my LJ. :(

I also wanted to include LJ comment stats (which I said I'd do every three months starting on the fourth anniversary, but ended up deciding to just do once every year), but since this post is already late, I'll post them later.

( First line of my first entry on or after the 19th of every month )

(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.

THE WORLD IS SAVED!!

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:

Mario. Luigi. Peach. Daisy. Yoshi. Homestar. Strong Bad. The Cheat. Neopets. Aisha. Acara. Poogle. Illusen. Fyora. Jhudora. Garfield. Odie. Jon. Liz. Nermal. Arlene. Pooky. Lyman. Irma. /crazymegavideo/. Google. Wikipedia. /tensen/. Bowser. Koopa. Goomba. Enya. Moya. Dido. Homsar. Wænya. mezzacotta. Garfield Minus Garfield. Square Root of Minus Garfield. Taelia. Gnorbu. Nimmo. Zafara. Kyrii. Petpet. Weeble. Spaghatta Nadle. Hyperbole and a Half. Alot. xkcd. Clean all the things. Facebook. LiveJournal. Blogger. Strong Sad. Strong Mad. Hammer Bro. Bullet Bill. Super Mushroom. Fire Flower. Ice Flower. Cape Feather. Tanooki Suit. Sarah McLachlan. Celine Dion. Pac-Man. Ms. Pac-Man. Blinky. Pinky. Inky. Clyde. Pac-Man Party. Toc-Man. Dry Bones. Dry Bowser. Rosalina. Super Mario Galaxy. Super Mario World. Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros. 2. Super Mario Bros. 3. Super Mario All-Stars. Super Mario Galaxy 2. Mario Kart. Mario Kart Wii. Wii. Nintendo 3DS. Mario Kart 7. Super Mario 3D Land. Boomerang Flower. Wadido. Super Smash Bros. Master Hand. Crazy Hand. Final Smash. Giga Bowser. Ganondorf. Link. Zelda. Sheik. Toon Link. The Legend of Zelda. Twilight Princess. Twilight. Harry Potter. Lord of the Rings. Frodo. Sam. Gandalf. The One Ring. Sauron. Sauraman. Legolas. Arwen. Gimli. Aragorn. Merry. Pippin. Bilbo. Mocorono Nodle. Pahckle. Pahrple drahnk. Parp. Parplegar circopomber. Garfield Plus Garfield. Garfield Divided by Garfield. PrtSc Land. Ours Will You 1-Up. Liobits. Cobrall. Teen Girl Squad. Trogdor. Bubs. Coach Z. Pom Pom. Marzipan. The King of Town. The Poopsmith. Stinkoman. 1-Up. Pan Pan. 20X6. Marshie. Mr. Shmallow. Mr. Game & Watch. Dr. Octagonapus & Watch. Grey's Anatomy. X-Files. Buffy. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Spike. Angel. Xander. Willow. Giles. The First. Mulder. Scully. The Lone Gunmen. Skinner. Kersh. Doggett. Reyes. Fowley. Cigarette-Smoking Man. Super Mario Advance. Yoshi's Island. Donut Plains. Vanilla Dome. Forest of Illusion. Chocolate Island. SNES. NES.

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...

matt1993: (homestar sued)
  • Right now I am way too: determined
  • Soundtrack: Super █████ World - █████'s Island Map
I'm against SOPA for all of the same reasons that the Gods of Being Able to Voice Opinions Better than Matt1993 (e.g. LiveJournal, Wikipedia, Google, Randall Munroe, Ryan North...) are - and this is coming from a guy who usually doesn't comment on anything controversial because he either becomes depressed about what side to be on or posts about an occurrence of a number like 206 in a news article or something rather than actually discussing the issue.

In fact, until SOPA is rejected, I'm going to do a clever take on the blackouts that Wikipedia, Wikia, xkcd and Dinosaur Comics (and any other websites I don't know about yet) have done - I'll blackout as many of my userpics (well, not really blackout - I'm not sure how to describe it, so just look at the userpic on this entry) as I can before the 24th (or whenever SOPA is rejected, or - if we're too unlucky for that - SOPA is repealed after becoming law). To keep this from turning out like my attempt at replacing userpics with PSL-styled variations (i.e., not getting to finish soon enough), I'm gonna upload each one as soon as I make it. Dunno how many I'll be able to replace before the impending apocalypse the Senate begins voting on it, though...

EDIT: These are even more difficult to make than I thought! I only got four finished today, but trust me, you don't need to see 112 shadowed userpics containing somewhere from 5 to 109 SOPA jokes to see my (and LJ's, and Wikipedia's, and Google's...) point. According to Google, the White House didn't even need one. I'm still gonna make more, though!

And yes, I know my LJ isn't well-known enough for this to have much of an impact, but I'm putting the idea out there for anyone else who wants to try it.

*It's too different from our universe for it to be parallel :P

Apophneia and a meme

  • Soundtrack: New Super Mario Bros. Wii - Giant Bowser Battle
Yesterday, on the way to school I saw a license plate with "20G" (which looks like 206, from a dream that I think I can stop linking to every time I mention it now) on it, and on the way back, I saw one with "797" on it. A sign?

Meme pilfered from [livejournal.com profile] eccentricrabbit (who I can't make a tag for because I already have the maximum of 2000 tags...I'll have to delete some at some point):

1 - Go to wikipedia and hit random. The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to quotationspage.com and hit random. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days” Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 - Use photoshop or similar (picnik.com is a free online photo editor) to put it all together.



Band name. Band name. Band name. Band name.

As if Enya's connection to Mario Winans weren't enough...

  • Right now I am way too: amused
Startling new evidence has been found that Waenya has existed since ancient Greek times! (And by "Waenya has existed since ancient Greek times" I mean "anytime I see something that sounds remotely like an Enya/Mario crossover, I must point it out no matter what".)

On the Wikipedia article on Enyalius:

"Enyalius or Enyalio in Greek mythology is generally a byname of Ares the god of war but in Mycenaean times is differentiated as a separate deity. On the Linear B Knossos Tablet KN V 52 the name E-nu-wa-ri-jo is interpreted to refer to this same Enyalios."

YAY! SUPER BRENNAN SIS--Oh, you gotta be kidding me!

matt1993: (afer ventus or the river sings backwards)
So I was reading the Wikipedia article on Enya for the first time near the end of 2009 (even though I've linked to it before, I hadn't actually read it before because Enya's reclusiveness creeps me out whenever I read about it for some reason). While I was reading it, I saw the word "Mario" and was automatically like "Enya's actually a Mario fan? That's AWESOME!" until I noticed that it was actually talking about Mario Winans. Oh well, at least I still have this userpic.

Sorry for two entries in quick succession, by the way, but the subject line I thought of was too good for me to waste it by merging this with an entry about the new year.

I'm reposting this just for the subject line for some reason

Do you keep tabs on ex-boyfriends and -girlfriends over social networking sites? Do you think it's emotionally healthy or dangerous? Amusing or painful?

Answer View Answers

No. I do wish I could find that girl I liked before she moved, though.

(For those of you who read my posts in [livejournal.com profile] _dreams_, it's the girlfriend that showed up in the dream "Wikipedia vs. my girlfriend")

25 Things About Me

(got this from [livejournal.com profile] otterdance)

1. I'm good at math.

2. I suck at writing research papers and essays. And even at taking notes.

3. I hacked into my mom's computer at the age of two.

4. I love macaroni and cheese.

5. I have weird dreams often, usually about video games and/or Enya.

6. I love procrastinating.

7. I enjoy backwards music.

8. Cussing annoys me.

9. I don't get why things like this post are called memes when annoying things on the Internet like "SH00P DA W00P" are also called memes.

10. I am biased against Photoshop just because so many people who use it are biased against MS Paint.

11. See above. Replace "Photoshop" with "Firefox" and "MS Paint" with "Internet Explorer".

12. I hate school.

13. I have autism. AND I'M SICK OF IT. >:(

14. My favorite color is yellow.

15. I enjoy video game glitches.

16. I wish one of my favorite singers were in a video game that didn't involve a concert of any kind. More of an adventure/platformer-style game.

17. I am infamous for posting stupid things on forums. Mainly the SmackJeeves forum and the Homestar Runner Wiki Forum. Which is why I've stopped posting to either of them.

18. I sometimes use a ROM corruptor (which is intended for use on video game ROMs) on music files just for the fun of it.

19. I have only been to one concert in my life: a recent Celine Dion concert.

20. Sometimes, for the fun of it, I read the edit histories of pages on Wikipedia and the Homestar Runner Wiki and try to find the vandalized pages.

21. I discovered the missing link between Enya and the Mario world...maybe.

22. I beat Kirby's Dream Land the day I got it. (though I haven't beaten the extra game yet...)

23. I only like to hear Chuck Norris jokes every once in a while.

24. Even though I have an account on the Homestar Runner Wiki, I still prefer to make anonymous posts on talk pages rather than editing articles while logged in.

25. I prefer sbemails over hremails.

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
