Another sign...
...when some sort of street band (rap? It's not even rap, it's some sort of... what's that? Whatever it is, it's terrible) starts to play in front of your house and you go to the window and shout: "Shut up! I can't hear the Downs!"
|
Haha! Legate, that sure is a sign that your are indeed addicted to the Downs. Your hearing has developed to hearing the Wight of the Downs' voice pretty quickly. I, at the moment, am practising smelling the Downs. :D
|
You almost think you're not going to enjoy the mayday (no school) since you know you can't be around in the 'downs on its birthday... :( :rolleyes:
|
When you should be doing an essay, you spend two or three hours going through old threads in Mirth.
Why won't this essay do itself? :( |

|
When you should be either writing up the information needed to gain an accreditation or revising and instead you spend your time reading through old werewolf threads, remembering the good old days when you actually had time to take part in them!
|
You check User CP three times as often as new posts to your threads. :rolleyes: C'mon guys, am I the only one without a life? :p

You log on at 7am, during class, at lunchtime, after school and before you go to bed, only to find there are only like four new posts because you live in Australia. This happens too darn often! :mad:
|
When you start writing "night" and "day" with capital letters outside WW games.

Too bad, Volo and Kath, I do that too...
Another similar sign is that when someone or somethign says "right, left" I instantly think of Ritun and Lefun.... (This even happened yesterday when I wanted to listen to music on my mp3-player and I saw the letters L and R on the earplugs!) |
Another sign, when you are downloading something and there's written "Choose the download: for PC/for Mac"... (do I have to continue? :D )

You're just a lost cause! :D |

When bored during class you fill your notebook with names of Downers in different fonts. Especially Rune, because we had one lesson of Danish during a Swedish lesson.
|
When you realise that the Finnish national poet is called Runeberg and are amused by it the whole morning...
:rolleyes: |
I am glad that I am in the thoughts of the Finnish Downers. . . At least I hope it is a good thing.
btw I ran into two guys from the Finnish airforce the other day and one of them saw it as his finest task to inform me about the winter war, anyways they claimed they did not know you, but I don't belive them! :p |
Nope lmp, I seem to be doing that far too often as well...
Every 5 minutes or so I feel the need to make sure that I haven't got any new reputation, and I still see the same messages... |
You know that, very deep in your decayed but actively beating heart, you're still addicted to the Downs when you continue howling at the Full Moon for the sake of tradition.
Or maybe that's a sign of how much you miss playing Werewolf. :( |
There was a picture of Gandhi as the Superman in the newspaper, now I'll always see Gil-Galad as Gandhi... :rolleyes: :D
|
You know you are addicted to BD when you see a Greek sentence transcribed into latin font and seeing the words: einai he kath... the picture of Mulder&Scully pops up in your head.

Top Ten Signs You're Addicted to the Barrow-Downs are when you should read the exams of your students and you hang around the BD the whole evening and even start a LiveJournal -stuff just to avoid the papers... :rolleyes:
I mean this is pathetic. Or is it a sign of not wishing to do your work? :D |
I have to ask, Nogrod. . .when you where in Turky, did you go online just to check The Downs?
|
When you start to consider yourself more intelligent, stronger at writing and generally better than your (poor mis-deluded, boring) peers because of the older, wittier more eloquent 'Downers you converse with.
|
You know you are addicted to the BD when:
-You are writing your opinions about the Harry Potter character Luna Lovegood, and misspell her name as Lhuna (I'm sure fellow LJers are quite aware of my mistake... :rolleyes:) -You (once again) are reading Harry Potter and when you see the mention of a text called Advanced Rune Translation, you think to yourself, "Hmm...I could use one of those..." ;) -Everytime you drive by a store called Jay's Pawn Shop, you can't help but think of tgwbs -You explain to your manager of the movie theatre you work at the entire Hobbit film situation and rumours you've heard, all based on what you've read in the BD movie forum.. |
Hmm... A pawn shop, eh? Cursed homophones!
|
I love you, Brinn! :D

I am not addicted to the Barrow Downs. I know when enough is enough. No one can ever say I don't know when to stop. I can quit anytime I want to. Like now. See? I stopped. I told you. It's easy. I merely make a mental note and quit. It's just like when I quit smoking cigarettes. Wait...there's a pack and an ashtray on my desk. Hmmm...isn't that strange?
*The Dark Elf taps his fingers nervously* Yes...stopped. Completely. *The Dark Elf breaks into a sweat* No problem. No problem at all. Never was a problem. *The Dark Elf faints* |

How does a guy come by such a cool name? :cool: |
When you make it, over Google, your homepage!
I'm sure this will come back to bite me somehow... |
Top ten (false) signs you're addicted to WW
Me: *does dry runs for ww-game*
Little sister: "WHAT are you doing? Playing ww alone with cards? Hanni, that is quite serious. It seems someone's quite addicted to werewolf, oh god." But I swear it was just for the sake of my game that will take place sometime relatively soon in future! :D (Yet one can maybe draw one's own conclusions from the fact that I had to do at least seven dry-runs and lived them like a real ww-game: "Nooooooo! The seer can't be killed now!" "How wicked!" "Why can't you villagers lynch a wolf?" "Hahaha, wolves killed the cobbler!" "Quite stupid of you, ranger, to protect a wolf...") |
I was taking a bus to my friend's summer place and on the way I saw a sign which said
LOMMILA GLOMS Evidently there is a place in Finland that is called Lommila (-la or -lä is a very common ending for a name of a place) and its Swedish name is Gloms. This, of course, doesn't mean an addicton, but instantly thinking of the name "Lommy" when seeing this probably does... |
Quote:
Wait... it is a sign of addiction... (Terrible. The worst sign of addiction is if you think - or convince yourself to think - that something is NOT a sign of addiction.) And Gloms, well, I don't know how about you, but when I saw it here I thought immediately of Gollum... is THAT a sign? |
