MC Odd

I managed to recover my google account! I was in the process of trying to transfer my mailbox and contacts to a new email address using POP, when I found my join date! Under the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" settings, under POP Download, it says "1. Status: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since dd/mm/yyyy"
With this small but significant detail, I was able to reset my password.


Upon logging in again, I promptly went and updated my security/account recovery settings with things that I can actually use should this ever happen again.


To sum, I get to keep my blogs. :)

So I seem to have lost access to my google account, for the most part. A week or so ago Gmail prompted me to change my google password, so I changed it to another pass that I don't use frequently, but is easy to remember.
Upon trying to login to gmail on my phone, I found out that I can't login with the password that I'm 99% sure I changed it to.
I can't reset the password, because when I made my account I was a stupid teenager and set my recovery question as an unanswerable question "DO I LIEK STUFFZ?!" because I thought that I'd never actually need to recover my password. My recovery email address also seems to be no longer active; it was a hotmail account with 9 characters before the @; presumably coddfish#@hotmail.com, but I've tried logging into that with all digits with no success.

I then tried to use the recovery form that google as set up, which lets you provide as much information as you can about your account details to prove that you own the account, and then the google people verify if its actually your account and give you a new password. I gave as much information as a could, but got a reply saying they can't return my account because I haven't given enough evidence. I did this twice, and got the same reply both times.

I can still access my gmail and blogger due to auto-login, but as soon as google pops up one of their random "put your password in again so we know it's you!" things I lose access.

I've created a new gmail/google account, (mattrcodd@gmail.com), but I don't know how I feel about copying all my writtens across to a new blogger and starting again with everything.
So this might just be the end of MC Odd. (and Left Side, and the unfinished 21 Days in Nippon, and the still unused Crit).

A few weeks ago I got my second tattoo courtesy of Simon Morse at ALC. It's based on the artwork of one of my favourite artists, Nanami Cowdroy from Sydney Australia. Check out her brilliant artwork!

I've been wanting a tattoo of her art for as long as I've known about her, and I finally figured out which piece, and where.

Of course, photos are a given!
