Bio
My name is Matthew "Matt" James Rieckman. I'm also known as mjr162006 (I sometimes capitalize the m). I took it from my e-mail address. I created my current e-mail account in 2006. The meaning of the letters and numbers are: "m" for Matt — my first name, "j" for James — my middle name, "r" for Rieckman — my last name, "16" my age when I created my e-mail account, and "2006" the year I created my e-mail account. Put it together and you have "mjr162006."

I live in the state of South Dakota of the United States. It's next to Minnesota and south of North Dakota ^_^. If you see me editing at around 8:00AM UTC (3:00AM here), then I woke up involuntarily - damn birds - and am unable to resume sleep. Graduated from high school in May of 2008, actually the day after I wrote this paragraph, and was accepted to a public university for a degree in mathematics. My classes were over May 13,but I have had a lot of free time during school for the last month. The graduation ceremony was on May 18.

I am very good at mathematics. When I say I didn't learn anything in math class, it is the truth. In my senior year, and through most of high school, I did not learn anything in Calculus class that I had not already took upon myself to learn beforehand. As a consequence of this, I was the "second teacher" of the class. Our calc class was a distance learning class. That means that we go to a special room and a class from another school connects with us through microphones, cameras, and displays. Our teacher was the only one in our school to teach a distance learning class.

I came to ZeldaWiki.org in the middle of the month of April in 2008. I didn't edit much at first. I wasn't really sure how much of anything worked. But, thankfully, users like Adam and Ando were there to guide me. In a few week's time I rapidly became one of the most active members on ZeldaWiki.org.

One of my first goals was to make grammatical corrections. Starting out, I intentionally miss-spelled the word grammar as grammer. Ando claims that he noticed right away, and he most likely did. It took a few days before Adam came up and said something. Now the use of "grammer" is sort of a running joke of mine.

One day I decided that there need to be more boss favorite userboxes. So I started making them. Since some boss pictures didn't look good in some colors, I made each of the boss favorite userboxes a different color. A few though, I intention left out one character for the color hex code so that the color matched the background.

Friends
I guess I have made some friends here. I'll list the users that are on friendly terms with me - in alphabetic order. If you think that you should be in this list then just say so on my talk page.

My Timeline
Start: TMC - OoT

Adult: FS/FSA - ALttP/OoA/OoS/LA - LoZ / AoL - TWW /PH

Adult: TWW/PH

Child: MM - TP - FS/FSA - ALttP/OoA/OoS/LA - LoZ / AoL

Magnus orion and I had a long and detailed talk on the matter (see Timeline Talk for details). See Zelda Timeline for the descriptions of the shorthand notations used here.If you want to talk with me about either timeline the please do so on my talkpage, not in the Timeline Talk archive.

Would a sysop please assume the title of Hero of Time, temporarily, in the event of vandalism.

Ahh... Sarcasm... No really, assume the title!

Favorite Dialogue
Twinrova death sequence

Koume: Shoot, what a fresh kid! This time, we'll get serious, right, Kotake? Kotake: [with halos over their heads] Hey, Koume, what is that above your head?

Koume: I don't know, but you have one over your head too, Kotake! But I'm only 400 years old!

Kotake: And I'm just 380 years old!

Koume: We're twins! Don't try to lie about your age!

Kotake: You must have gone senile!

Koume: Who are you calling senile? Is that how you treat your older sister?

Kotake: We are twins! How can you be older?

Koume: Keeeyaaah! How heartless you are!

Kotake: How can you be so ungrateful?

Koume: You're heartless!

Kotake: You ungrateful... (they both fly up to beyond)

Both: I'll come back to haunt you!

Here is a quote that would cause Link to feel rather afraid.


 * "Unless you cheat or use some dirty tricks, you have no chance. And if you do cheat...you will pay dearly."

- One of the Gorons before beating Gor Coron in Twilight Princess


 * "You... Did you really win? Without cheating? If I find out that you cheated, human, you will pay."

- Same Goron, after Link "cheats" with the Iron Boots

Memorable Non-Zelda Quotes
These are some of the funniest/dumbest things I've heard people say where I live. No these aren't typos. This is actually what they said. To protect their identities, all people will remain anonymous. If only I could remember the things they said in past years.

Warning : Some quotes contain slight language. The worst one, known by some as the "f word", is censored with asterisks.

"Oh my god! Why am I so stupid? I wanna be smart!"

- Girl A

"Wednesday is the best day of the day!"

- Girl B

"How many hours are there between noon and six-o-clock? Don't you have to add a twelve or something?"

- Girl C

"I hate trying to think!"

- Girl D

"Everyone who isn't here raise your hand."

- Boy A

"Nope! We're all here! Let's go!"

- Boy B

"If I don't pass this test, I am seriously fu***d! [turns around to find the teacher standing right behind him] Oh... um... I didn't know you were here!"

- Boy B (I've never seen a face so red before. The teacher just smiled and shook his head.)

"[runs into the door] Ow... My boob!"

- Girl C, again. she forgot to turn the handle

Here's a rather funny incident. This is probably the cleverest trick I have ever seen someone pull off.

"I'm going to put this tape over the camera. No one say anything!"

- Boy B


 * The teacher and the rest of the class walk in. It takes a few minutes for anyone to notice anything.

"Hey. What's wrong with the screen? There's a blurry spot."

- Boy C

"What?"

- The Teacher


 * He goes up to the camera. He discovers the tape.

"There's tape here! Who put this on here? [Boy A's name] ! It was you wasn't it?"

- The Teacher

"No! It wasn't!"

- Boy A

"Yes it was. Just for that, you've got to turn in the assignment tomorrow. Everyone else turns it in at the regular time. Now come here and peel off this tape!"

- The Teacher

"What the hell!"

- Boy A

"[quietly] Heh, heh, heh, heehh!"

- Boy B


 * Calculus class. Mega-sized assignments. There were three more work days left. Took him ten minutes to get the tape off. And Boy A never found out that the tape was placed there by Boy B. The rest us had no reason to inform either the teacher or Boy A of the details. We still are not sure if Boy B planned the whole thing or was just lucky. But it is likely that he did in fact plan it since it's usually Boy A doing all the stupid things. (Yes the test Boy B mentioned above was a calc test.)
