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 )

(x-posted to the_number_206)

So I was looking at the profiles of my teachers for the first semester of college, and as it turns out, the number of my English teacher's office is 206. Especially interesting is the fact that it should be my college English teacher, because so far, my high school English teacher is the only teacher that I've mentioned any of my findings involving 206 (and other numbers) to. Hmm...

Is this a coincidence? Answer with a 206-word essay.

EDIT WAY LATER: It turns out that there are two guys in my college dorm named Mark, so in order to keep things from getting weird if either of them gets a LiveJournal (if they don't have one already) and friend me, I have renamed my possible other personality Mark1993 rather than just Mark.

I did pretty well on my Spanish final. I didn't get to finish translating the whole thing I had written, but I got most of it translated, and it's past the 100-word minimum anyway. My teacher says that I can finish it after Christmas break (and she's allowing 3 of my classmates to do the same). Yay for Christmas break!!

Also, you know how I am easily distracted while listening or reading because any given word or phrase might remind me of something else that I start thinking about instead until it reminds me of something else, and so on - and it also happens just because I'm bored? Well, for a while now I've thought of the kind of mistakes I make while doing that as my subconscious taking over and trying (and almost always failing) to do everything based entirely on instinct like a robot. I've recently started reading The Bird's Nest by Shirley Jackson, which is about a girl with multiple personalities, and I got to thinking: What if I have multiple (or double, at least) personalities, and the robotic/instinct/habit decisions aren't made by my subconscious, but by my other personality?

( EDIT IN 2018: This sounds so dumb now. I'm putting it under a cut. )

Post to your journal!

Here's what I've written of Moya's Space Log in the past couple of days.

Current progress towards word count goal:


I'm finally past ¼ of my wordcount goal - 6,267 words. *sigh*

Current progress towards end of story:

Is there one bright star? One bright star in your journal?

I only wrote a little more of Moya's Space Log today, but at least it's an improvement over how much I've been procrastinating! I'm up to 4,319 words now.

I don't have time to link to Part 3 from this entry and vice versa today. Hopefully I can tomorrow.

←Part 3 Part 4 (edited) & Part 5→

(as you can tell from the link saying "Part 4 (edited)", this whole part was edited later)

Ours will this entry 1-Up

I actually did pretty well on the SAT this time! I finished all of the sections (even the essay), and even if I hadn't had accommodations for extended time, I still would have finished all of the math sections and the last writing section! YAY!

More Moya's Space Log. I'm up to 2,102 words now, and Team Brennario (it gets tedious to say "Mario, Luigi, Enya, and Moya" or "the Marios and the Brennans" over and over) is finally in space! Yay!

Shake the Wii Remote to repost this entry!

All I have so far of my NaNo novel are the title, author, author's notes, and things like that, and most of it is redundant because I already mentioned it two posts ago. That's only 188 words. At least I finally stopped procrastinating long enough to get this far :)

I spent almost all of my time at home today working on the research paper. But at least I'm almost done now, and I'm pretty sure I have WAY more than 1500 words! :)

I just barely passed my English test today, AND I have another 1200-1500 word research paper to write by April 15 (and even if the apocalypse is March 25 like my dream predicted, there's still notecards and stuff to write before then). *sigh* There go a few more potentially good days of my life.

Die of notecards
