 Making custom ringtones for the iPhone is an awful headache of a process, but I now have the original Are You Afraid of the Dark theme song as my ringtone and 2 seconds of the shrieky violin from the Psycho shower scene as my text tone, and the delight I feel whenever they go off makes it worth it to me.

Happy October, friends. 
 I've never been able to figure out how to do this using garage band. I used to use audacity to cut a section of a song I wanted, export it as m4a, rename it to m4r, and then upload to my phone by connecting it to my Mac. But now the mac wants me to back up the whole damn phone to the mac hard drive before adding ringtones and I don't have enough room for that.
