Sorry, dude. The only Kevin Smith film I've seen is Zack and Miri Make a Porno and it was so ridiculously predictable that it kind of put me off to seeing others. Though I think Anders owns Dogma, so maybe I'll check that one out sometime.
I have no clue what you're referring to for the last two questions. I'm happy to see that I don't use cliches :) For some reason those sorts of phrases bug me. For the trend one, you were just asking what I saw people around me into right, not necessarily what I personally got into? If for some reason you're interested in which ones I followed, they were: stickers! (still love stickers, but I don't display them in albums that I carry around with me anymore), pogs, Jagged Little Pill (though I never owned the album), American Girl (my favorite was Kirsten), Goosebumps (and Fear Street), and supersoakers a little bit.

Meme characters = general silly internet humor.
The Hunger Games = a wonderful dystopian book series about a world where children are forced to participate in a battle like this on a yearly basis. One girl volunteers to go to the arena in place of her younger sister, and the story begins from there.
I am interested, sure! I love Kirsten - I still have my Kirsten doll. I was so sad to hear that she was discontinued or whatever. I feel like she could be a wonderful inspiration to other girls who are learning English and/or adjusting to a new culture. :/
Kirsten was DISCONTINUED?!!! That is horrific news.
The Hunger Games sounds like Ender's Game, which I have read and really liked. Hmmm I tend to really like dystupia stuff, perhaps I'll have to check that out.
Yes, I know, it's horrible. They apparently retired Samantha the year before. This article attempts to explain the "thinking" behind these decisions. At least I still have my Kirsten, even if her hair is like, beyond repair. XD
Cool, I'd definitely recommend them - they're quick reads, and very interesting!
I've heard of all of the idioms, but never used any of them. And I'm too freaking old for most of the trends to have taken place in my childhood, although there are several of them that I still like now (Pokemon ftw!).
The only time I've ever been able to nap is when I'm sick, which used to be never, and is now all the time. I'm the only person I know who occasionally sets their alarm for 4pm :D
-- I only take naps if I've pulled an all nighter, and sometimes not even then, because whenever I do wake up from a nap I feel a hundred times worse than I felt before it.
-- Dying underground sounds terrifying. I was torn between the bottom of the ocean and outer space, but I figure those two would be relatively quick and painless, whereas being trapped and slowly suffocating or falling to my death sounds worse.
-- I haven't read Hunger Games but I imagine it must be kind of like Battle Royale. I don't think I'd actually survive it, in all honestly, but I don't think I'd want to make any friends. >:|
-- I am, uh, very unhip because I haven't heard of any of these memes. I'd like to put in a vote for Kermit Bale, though.
Hunger Games is kind of like Battle Royale, yes, though much moreso in the first book than in the other two (or so my boyfriend says - I've never actually seen/read Battle Royale).
This is the one journal where it's always hip to be unhip - be proud, man. XD
I just looked up Kermit Bale ... definitely convinced that something's going on here!

"...somewhere really uncomfortable."
"What, like the back of a Volkswagon?"
That's what your death question made me think of. ;)

I'm so clueless about memes.
Dying in a vacuum would scare the heck out of me, therefore, space. :|

Space is scary, too. Pretty much all of those deaths are horrifying to me. D:

And no worries, I've done the same with my alarm, quite recently...without being sick. ;)
