Today is a completely uneventful day... or at least I'm going to have to try to convince myself of that if I want to stop completely freaking out.

Since this is a completely uneventful day, I'm going to finally get around to posting some things I've been meaning to post.

Here's some more of the results of when I revisited quizzes I first took years ago:

I don't know why I'm bothering to revisit all-you-have-to-do-is-enter-your-name quizzes, but this time around I got:
What will your Wanted poster say?
Matt
WANTED FOR: Baking a pie with a file inside to help get your lover out of prison
REWARD: All the corn you can eat!

Just how EVIL are you?
Last time I was 12% evil. Now it's 3% evil.

http://matt1993.livejournal.com/22…
Still Judeo-Christian

http://matt1993.livejournal.com/23…
Still General Hospital, but the marker was placed correctly this time


In other news, I finally got around to updating the list of amiibo I own in my LJ profile a while back - I just never posted about it until now.

And does anyone here remember the game Chip's Challenge? Well, this may be old news to some of you, but recently I found out that Chip's Challenge 2 was FINALLY released after so many years! :D

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 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:

Matt
Don't mess with the Mafia

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

I've been meaning to post some more quiz results for a while now. They're really starting to build up in the text file I'm saving them in :)

Another one I first took over seven years ago and am revisiting now:

Old result:

I'm so ashamed of some of my wording back then... :(

Anyway, my new result is:



Now for two quizzes I haven't taken before:

I start work in (probably) 36 days... I'm so nervous! :O


Also, yes, I'm still retaking quizzes I took years ago to see how things have changed, and I'm still taking new quizzes. I just haven't posted the results of either in a couple of weeks.

When I retook "How Evil Are You?" I got "not evil", which is what I got over seven years ago, so I'll just link to the entry where I posted the original result instead of reposting it.

But the next one I retook, I did get a different result.

Old result from over seven years ago:

(Since the people I just added as friends are probably wondering: Yes, my writing style seven years ago was full of inside jokes, mostly inspired by backwards lyrics. That's why I have a glossary. :) )

Since I'm not into every single thing that's stereotypically geeky, I think my old result makes more sense than either of my new results. Yes, I actually retook it twice - the first time, I got "not a geek", but I took it again since there were a few answers that I wanted to change as soon as I clicked on them, so then I got:

You are a Super Geek!
You are into everything that is geeky – which is hard because there are so many types of geeks. You are very smart and have a great imagination. People who call you a geek are just jealous, right?

I went from "not a geek" to "super geek" just like that? I think that quiz is broken. :)

I retook three more quizzes that I first took in March 2009, but I got the same results as last time for these two, so I won't bother reposting them:

http://matt1993.livejournal.com/68… (What Historical Figure Are You?)
Still Leonardo da Vinci. Some of the answer choices are a lot funnier than I remember, though :)

http://matt1993.livejournal.com/76… (How are you going to die?)
Still extreme sports, but looking at the possible answers, the other results probably don't fit me any better.


The one that I got a different result on:

Old result:

New result:

You have a 17% chance of being abducted!

You don’t really believe in extra-terrestrials, but you should! The chances that another intelligent life form exists is far greater than the chance that it doesn’t.

Weird. I got a higher percentage before I started watching X-Files. :)

Originally posted by matt1993 at What happened?

Got the same result when I took this quiz again just now. Except the apostrophes weren’t weren't glitched this time. :)

Another quiz I'm revisiting years later! (Sorry for the two posts in a row :( )

Originally posted by matt1993 at Your card was the 3.14159265358979323 of óúlú÷bs!

Interesting that the repost button that I'd already retroactively added to this really old entry just happened to be similar to the repost button on my newest entry as of my typing this :)

Anyway, when I took this quiz again just now, I got:

You are 60% Psychic!
QuizGalaxy.com
You are psychic. You are above average when it comes to perceiving the future. You are very observant and clever, with a good amount of common sense. It is very easy for you to predict things and be correct.

Explanation to those who are new here: I decided a couple of years ago that I'd start revisiting every quiz/survey I've posted on LJ five years later to see how things have changed. But then I procrastinated so long that I'm having to do some of them seven years later instead.

Old result:

New result:



Fits me slightly better than writing, at least!

Remember in 2014 when I was revisiting quizzes and surveys I'd taken exactly five years earlier, in 2009, for a while?

And then there were some that I couldn't revisit because Quiz Galaxy wasn't working? And then eventually I stopped getting around to revisiting even the non-Quiz-Galaxy ones?

Well, turns out Quiz Galaxy works again now, so I finally went back and retook a quiz I first took on February 10, 2009:

Apparently they changed up the results page at some point in the past 7 years and 12 days - when I retook it, I got this:



I am in no way surprised by my new result.

NOTE: If you plan to take this quiz as well, the link in my old result doesn't work but the link in my new result does.
