Thumbs up I've had this for AGES upon AGES!

It's only now that I realise how sad it is...

You know you're addicted to The Barrow Downs when you're computer's desktop looks like this:

You know you're obsessed with the BD when:

-Your professor assigns the class to write a journal entry about a community they're part of and on first instinct you choose to write about the Downs.

-You own a BD t-shirt and wear it at least once a week.

-You print out copies of Hookbill's P&A comics and insist that your suitemates should read them too for a good laugh.

-You meet someone new and the first place you take them to is your computer which just happens to be opened up to the BD forum page. Then you take them on a full tour of the site and show off your best RPG posts. They claim you're really not that much of a freak, but deep down you just know they're saying that to be nice...

You forget that other people aren't quite as obsessed as you are, and mention names and facts from the site without a second thought, only realising your mistake when whoever you're talking to gives you a strange look and goes "huh?", having not understood a word.

Good gracious me!

You know you're addicted when people get fed up of you starting an analogy with the phrase, 'On the Barrow Downs...'

You want to buy a pair of shoes solely* because they have the words 'Downs' on the sides. Unfortunately, someone else was wearing them.


*Ho ho ho!

There's nothing more you need or want to check on the 'downs, but you can't just leave it. You go to the who's online place and start updating it about every second. Then you start: "Ooh! Rune is viewing now N&N! Ooh! Now he started PMing! Ooh! Menel came online! Aha, he goes to mirth! I knew! Ooh, he's viewing TiG junior thread. Ooh, Mith came online! Rune's still PMing, I wonder what's he doing. Ah, Mith's viewing that Buckland -thread, I'll check it too. Ooh, Legate has appeared while I've been away. Rune's still PMing, Menel's still in the mirth section and Mith is viewing her user cp! Ooh!" etc...



And now back to... viewing who's online of course!
