Thanks so much for nominating me, I can’t wait to participate! I loved reading your answers!❤️Just a question though- what do you mean by question #2?
LikeLike
Minutes to midnight is a saying – the closer you get to midnight is the closer to destruction/nuclear war you are. So if your tbr is like – 1 minute to midnight it’s about to collapse and kill you but if it’s like 20 minutes to midnight it’s insanely stressful but not an immediate threat, etc.
Sorry I didn’t explain that better…

Oh gosh, that GIF was hilarious…and awkwardly relatable. I miss jokes so often. And those flowers you got from SuperCon sound awesome and cool!
Ouran definitely needs a second season, oh my gosh. That was such a cruel cliffhanger. (Though I did read the manga, so at least now I know how it ends.) I haven’t seen Your Lie in April yet, but it’s on my watch list….it just may be a LONG time before I have time to watch it…😅
Also, I take it you saw the latest Sat Wars trailer…what’d you think of the cliffhanger? Personally, I’m annoyed, but that’s mainly because my parents went to go see TFA without me and forgot I never saw it (I can’t handle too many bright, flashing lights and loud noises in theaters) so I’m just worried it’ll be two years before I actually see it…yeah, I only saw TFA a few months ago, haha…

Did you like TFA? I’m dying for Last Jedi – so much. I haven’t read the Ouran manga but I’m dying to. Definitely watch You’re Lie In April!

I did like it…but I just found it too easy to predict. I haven’t even seen A New Hope in years, yet I found TFA to be reusing old plot developments so much that I could guess the majority of the story, which kinda led to me feeling an emotional disconnect. How about you? I’m definitely looking forward to TLJ though…let’s hope it doesn’t take me two years to see it though!
The Ouran manga was good, if you disliked the cliffhanger, you should read it. I will let you know when I eventually start watching Your Lie in April!
