This evening in the cafeteria, I found myself compulsively analyzing everybody who walked by my table. It's a scary place now, because there's people everywhere and YOU DON'T KNOW WHO MIGHT BE A WEREWOLF.

Maybe I need therapy.

When you meet a fellow 'Downer and at least half your conversation revolves around the 'Downs, it's inhabitants and werewolf games.

As if we had nothing else in common or nothing else to talk about... And this happens regularly...

(But I might have exaggerated when I said "at least half"... but a lot of it, anyway....)

When you find out that you can think of some reasons which would imply that you are NOT addicted to Barrow-Downs, then you think whether you should not start a thread "Top Ten Signs You Are Not Addicted to the Barrow-Downs" and then, a feeling of deep sadness falls upon you since you start thinking that it is possible you might not be addicted to the Barrow-Downs anymore...

Legate, that's incredibly silly...

I think one rather obvious sign is that you're sad that you don't have BD dreams more often. That might be a bit outdated complaint, though, since I just had one the night before last night. And besides, to defend myself a bit , my 'downs dreams tend to be crazier than my normal dreams, so maybe I'm just missing crazy dreams, not BD dreams...

Oh, seconded! How come we seem to be this similar to each other? We even have the same addictions.

Honestly, no, you didn't exaggerate.

And one should never complain if she has a friend who tells her also those of her dreams that she doesn't dare to post on the dream thread.

At last I double post here!

I got an album of an Australian goth rock band Floodland from the library to see what it's like. In their song Sister of Mercy, I'm quite convinced that they sing "Lommy blind" at one point. What amuses me even more is that the booklet has lyrics of all the other songs but not this one, nor could I find them on the net.
