When the little white dots are hunting you all over the 'Downs.

Hmm... i cannot really define if i am addicted... i think i'm addicted to Middle Earth Mirth...

No wait! I AM! everynight that "Canoncity" was on and before the Barrow wright closed it

i spent 6 hours reading, discussing and dishing out some of my best wit and philiosphical fast pitched moves anyone who is lucky will ever read...(due to the fact i'm a devious scorpio..

)...

Here's another way to tell: If you are like me and have gotten into so much trouble with the barrow wright that you refer to him as : "BW" or "The Big B". I do it often in the chat room to avoid painful memories...

Still, i am not sure... I leave this choice in your hands, or i should say, fingers fellow members. Is the Ka Addicted to one more thing than Boromir or Isis?

When, even when you're no longer as often in the Downs as you used to, you mark your calendar with significant dates such as your deathday, some fellow BDers' birthdays, the day you overcame your fear and entered the RPGs through the Green Dragon Inn, the day you started PMing a BDer with whom you're still corresponding after two years (the 'anniversary' was a few days ago)...

...and it didn't even occur to you as a sign of your addiction because you thought it was completely normal.

Oh, thanks for reminding me, Lommy! Last year I took a Comm class, and one of our requirements was to make a speech. At that time I was addicted enough to talk about what I gained from joining the Downs.

Another thing - some songs remind you of the happy times when you had plenty of time to spare for the Downs. I can't enumerate any, but when I hear them, I get that eerie nostalgic feeling.

Lastly, when you come across good lines while reading books, you automatically think, Hmm, this would make a good siggy.
