My cell phone's fucked up. As though I needed another reason to dislike this time of year.

Speaking of, this year seems to be going by really fast for me. I don't know why, but it just seems strange to think that it's already going on May.

Nothing else to report on, so have a meme.

Pick 20 movies/anime/video games/comic books/literary works/musicals/TV shows/etc. and put their summaries from Better Than It Sounds and WITHOUT CHEATING have your friends guess.

01. Household pets from Uncanny Valley sing, dance, and poke the people sitting in the expensive seats. (Cats)

02. Sleeping teenagers are stalked and killed by a man in a Christmas colored sweater. Johnny Depp gets eaten by his bed. (A Nightmare on Elm Street)

03. Bunch of gamers kill their friends in increasingly horrific ways. Fan Service tropes ensue. (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni)

04. A bunch of people abducted from random points in time come back all at once in modern day Seattle... With super powers! - The 4400

05. Hamlet, In Africa! - The Lion King

06. A shy, unpopular adolescent experiences first love with a vampire, cursed with eternal youth, an uncanny beauty, and ice-cold skin like marble, but blessed with the wisdom of the ages.

Also, time travel removes all consequences of social stupidity and class cutting, except within the UST laden hero relationships. (Code Lyoko)
