Yesterday was the first time I had gotten on in 5 days!! I had never been off the computer for that length of time before.

And that's a bad thing?
Seriously, you can't be on the computer all the time, and you
shouldn't. I'm sorry, but there is more to life than the Barrow Downs. Sorry, Barrow Wight, everyone, but it's the truth. You have to do other things besides roleplaying and posting and instant messaging and etc., etc. And there are other things besides LOTR too. You can like more than one thing, love or obsess about more than one thing. Also, you do need a break from things sometimes, even LOTR. And, eventually, you might take a break and never go back to it. What does it matter? You had some fun with it, then you move onto something else fun. I take breaks from LOTR all the time, moving in and out of 'major obsession mode' (hmmmm...we could call it 'MOM Syndrom'). And, really, I haven't had an 'obsessive' (bit of a strong word, you're right Susan) mode for quite a while. I just really like it, so I have fun with it and many related things. You
should have to take breaks, and you shouldn't over-obsess, unless you are a bit insane. And there are those on the BD that we could debate the sanity of, so...those of you that don't take breaks...perhaps you should look into it, or into a good psychiatrist.
Anyway, for all you suffering from MOM Syndrom, here's some other stuff for you to do with your life:
Need a sport? Try fencing. Not totally detached from LOTR, though mostly.
Need a good book to read? How about 10?
The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. It's still fantasy.
Feel the urge to type? Get ahead by starting on that essay that's due next month, next week...or tomorrow.
Need to make contact with an elf? Have a cookie.

Okay, on some of those, I couldn't resist, but on others, I was serious. Seriously.
So, let's begin the countdown till this thread is closed.
