who in their right mind would use the x-files theme as a cellphone alarm that goes off at 11:45 pm? well, i do. i have several cellphone reminders scheduled to set off 15 minutes before midnight to remind me of stuff before i sleep. and i chose the x-files theme as my alarm for such reminders. i think its been more than a year since ive had this alarm and it always makes me wonder where the creepy sound is coming from (although lately, im getting used to it). sometimes im cramming something late at night while everyone is asleep then the x-files theme suddenly plays. usually, im busy doing something or im half-asleep when the alarm goes off. not that the alarm tone scares me (i have a history of staring at a sadako desktop wallpaper in the dark at 1am. i was addicted to sadako then) but i always forget that its my cellphone alarm. so my usual initial reaction is wonder where the sound is coming from. it takes a few seconds for me to realize its my cellphone.
i chose it as my alarm tone because i dont want to have a loud/noisy ringtone that would go off a few minutes before midnight. well, i could have chosen another mellow ringtone like the song from "il postino" but i just had to choose a scary ringtone. one of these days, i would really like this alarm tone to go off while im outdoors in a somewhat silent and dark area and see if people would react the same way as i do: trying to find out where the hell the creepy sound is coming from.
now that i think about it, i havent seen one full episode of the X-files. not a single one (just like Ally Mcbeal). i just accidentally watch parts of it then change the channel.
