Top Ten Signs You're Addicted to the Barrow-Downs - Page 5 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

VanimaEdhel · 04-05-2003, 04:25 PM

You have a friend named "Katie". You almost spelled her name "Kkate" the other day. Welcome to my world.

The same day (or night, rather), you have a dream that the Mod's get fed up with the Forum (as I'm sure you Mod's do), and abandoned us forever. Well, Mary-Sues took over the Forum, and all there messages consisted of one word typed over and over again for an entire computer screen-worth of words. You know what the word was? The word was "doom"...very fitting, in my opinion.

addicted to this place? i think not.

pathetic, really.

3. You no longer fear burra (sorry, burra)...Well, you respect burra.

Quote:

(7) you spend hours on bree under bree hill on the downs member pic page trying to figgure out what burra is (i dont know if this is the case for anyone else but i dont know, please help em wit this one, and burra, plz dont hurt me...)((i say this not to be rude but because my girlfriend says your a girl and she insists that and its driving me nuts not knowing, im sry if i was rude...))

I don't usually laugh out loud, but that got one from me. Ah, me. Burra's a guy. Though that "what is burrahobbit?" question is so terribly tempting....

Anyway, yes I am addicted, it's true. I know it's really bad when I spend more time writing an RPG post than I do working on my novel. That happens all too often.

I've done the wee-hours-of-the-morning thing very, very often.

I've hid my screenname in shame.

I've spent hours searching for cool avatars and pithy quotes. I even found an avatar for someone else.

I almost called a friend mien schatz even though I have no idea what that means. I just know Lush uses it...

And Elvish screennames which were a mystery to me at first now roll off my mental tongue. And let me see... Marileangolfornium? Oh, close... I don't think that's right though.

I would, however, rather be addicted to a website than so petty as to log on just to criticize other people for it. Talk about a real waste of time...

GaladrieloftheOlden · 04-07-2003, 11:06 AM

I have one: you are now very happy when you are sick and stay home from school, because you can rush onto the BDs!

Well, if it's such a waste of time, why are you here? kymii666, I would strongly suggest you getting offline. And staying there. Or at least leaving this site alone. BTW, what's with "Charles"?

Amanaduial the archer · 04-07-2003, 12:43 PM

Charles is his/her imaginary friend. Kymii, you have seventeen posts here, you evidently have a sense of humour, if a slightly twisted one....so why have you spent every one of those posts blagging the Downs and its members? Live and learn, or just leave.

**lindil** · 04-08-2003, 10:24 AM

10. Your wife threatens you with Divorce [ for the tenth time] and you are reminded of JRRT's line in the Biography ' somethings you have to be willing ot fight over'.

9. It is of course your default screen on the pc, although you may perhaps spend too much mental time pondering which forum should be there...

8. your children roll their eyes when they see the green and black...*DAD can you please.....*

7.All of your M-E books are within arms reach of the computer so you can respond as effortlessly as possible, well most, you, of course have to many for them all to be that close...

6.YOu can far too easily find 10 of these!

5.You start wondering what BD'ers live wherever you are traveling to [even though the admins don't exactly approve [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]]

4. You realize with [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img], that it is your favorite social circle - by far.

3.Too not appear so much of a fool you actually have 2 english handbooks, a thesaurus and a dictionary right where valuable ME-E book real estate should be on the desk [thanks maril and bethberry [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] for the gentle chastening, I hope I have improved at least somewhat].

2. You decide to try and right the ultimate guide to M-E and you can immediately think of 2 fellow downsman to aid you...

1. Becuase of the Downs you actually start trying to write the thing! [with the aforementioned helpers agreeing of course, how could they resist - they too are BD'ers ? [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
0. you are no longer puzzled by Burrahobbit, he has become a comfortable [if predictably odd] part of the BD ambience *lindil pauses ponders using the 6th emoticon from the left - decides it is below his extremely exaggerated sense of dignity and types this instead].
--------------------------------------------

earlier it was said: "Don't keep us from knowing if you are currently on line! Because I always like knowing who's on when. Besides I am not going to be bashful about being on this website a lot."

heh heh,BTW.... the mods can see who's hiding so it is useless, cause then we all just talk about you on Mod Gorthad [no we don't really - actually we hardly communicate at all amongst ourselves [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]] but we can see who's trying to hide from Who's online...

(Ghastly Hobbits beckon with skeletal fingers):

you mightly resist the temptation, even of the now famous Entish Bow....you resist,
you resist,

YOU RESISIT!.....you res..............

OK just open page of one RPG, that's all...*lindil slides down into the abyss of one final straw breaking the camel's back of too many M-E projects and intersts...AAHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......*

VanimaEdhel · 04-11-2003, 04:50 PM

You have the hardest time on the National Day of Silence not coming on here, even though you've restricted yourself to no verbal communication, and nearly give in, trying to say "well, people might not read it as soon as I post it, so maybe it doesn't count". I had will power, so I didn't come in, luckily, but it was so hard! Not actually speaking was very easy, but not coming on here...yeesh...

Amanaduial the archer · 04-12-2003, 08:48 AM

National day of Silence? Hmmm, maybe a US thing. Anyone know if we have one in the UK and Ive just been missing out on that for the past 14 years?

04-15-2003, 02:45 AM

aerandir! i find a lot right about myself! and brinniel- 100% harharhar! i'd like to add some of my own:
1. when your mom screams, calling you to get off the computer and you don't hear it. after all, your deeply engrossed with the BD that you don't notice, and the fact that you don't hear her a tinnie-winnie bit because you're playing the soundtrack of TTT on the computer and earphones are glued into your ears [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] she(mom) freaks out finding you stuck to the computer and scolds you with another littany of blah. then before you sleep (which is about 4am) you cry thinking you've lost a lot of minutes away from the downs. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] saaaad! then you wake up the following morning, but before you even brush your teeth... you open your computer and check on the downs. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

--Lousy at reading between the lines

Maikadilwen · 04-16-2003, 07:06 AM

Probably best not to discuss it in public. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Guo Si · 04-16-2003, 11:16 AM

You are addicted to the Barrow-Downs when you scour through old email adresses, oftentimes trying in vain to remember old passwords, to get to the one you registered with, just so you can log in again after leaving for close to a year.

VanimaEdhel · 04-16-2003, 05:03 PM

Gooey! *big hugs* Welcome back!

When you have been around for long enough to know people who have disappeared for that long, I'd say you are fairly addicted.

I actually don't really consider myself addicted in real life, although I probably am.

Annalaliath · 04-16-2003, 05:14 PM

dude my name is Annalaliath and I am obssesed not only woth the LOTR but with the Barrowdowns.

You have your paper on " The death of the Ball Turret Gunner" open and behind it you are working on a new post for the Barrow downs.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-16-2003, 10:44 PM

You're addicted to the Barrowdowns, when you cite posts from the Books forum in your lit class papers. (Very unsuccessful venture... I don't advise it)

Sophia

Rumil · 04-16-2003, 10:54 PM

For me its when you've casually assigned specific personalities to the Barrowdowns 'names' then discovered they don't look at all as you expected (see the various pictures threads). I suppose it goes to show you shouldn't judge a book by its cover!

Annalaliath, do I detect an interest in 'One flew over the cuckoo's nest'? Great book, great film. I've always thought he might be a friend of Yossarian from Catch 22.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-17-2003, 01:04 AM

Another symptom: *throws hand across forehead dramatically* when you have an entire folder on your favorites list for downs related links.

Silmarien · 04-18-2003, 10:02 PM

Some bad signs I have noticed I've developed.
Saying lot-tra when I see LOTR, home when HoME and most awefully, jert when I see JRRT.
Also when you have 13 emails in your inbox and they're all from BD and mostly from the one thread. There are also some other things in here that might be true when I've been here a little longer, but I think the truest sign of addiction is actually reading this thread.

You have to remember that I'm an avid RPG'er that has been involved in at least three, sometimes up to seven, RPG's since about April of 2002. Probably over half of my posts are in the RPG Forum.

Two, actually. One is entirely downs related items, the other RP projects.

Lyra Greenleaf · 04-20-2003, 02:08 PM

Well, I'm not organised enough to put them in folders, but all my favourites are LOTR related and more than half are from the BDs.

You know you're addicted when you're on holiday and you're homesick not for family and friends but your computer screen and you guys. Urgh, it was like going cold turkey!

Eressië Ailin · 04-20-2003, 02:24 PM

You know that you're addicted when you are sick with the flu, and your mother has to drag you away from the computer, and stop you from finishing 'just one last post,' so that you don't barf on the computer.

Yep. It's sad.

Eressië Ailin · 04-21-2003, 11:39 PM

...and you're also addicted when you're just now starting an essay that is due tomorrow, when you've known about it for weeks, but you haven't had time to type it because you've been on the Downs. And it's 12:40 AM.

Amanaduial the archer · 04-22-2003, 05:51 AM

Yeah, getting that. Last night at 2:40am, having the choice between doing my history homework...or posting again on an RP. Guess which one won...

VanimaEdhel · 04-24-2003, 05:29 PM

Maikadilwen: did your solution involve joining a play that sucks all the life out of you and/or getting a really sweet guy to like you and follow you around? Because I did both, and I was BD-free for four days, and I will be BD-free for between five and eight days during the week coming up (play rehearsal and softball games...blah). We'll see how I survive...

EDIT: then the question is: do I want to break my addiction? Not really...

EDIT 2: Then there is the part where I'm back again...do I ever really leave? No...

Yep. It's sad. __________________ Holy angel, in Heaven blessed... My spirit longs with thee to rest! ~Faust Never judge a book by its movie. ~J. W. Eagan By the big slippers of big slipperdom! ~M.

And it's 12:40 AM. __________________ Holy angel, in Heaven blessed... My spirit longs with thee to rest! ~Faust Never judge a book by its movie. ~J. W.

Because I did both, and I was BD-free for four days, and I will be BD-free for between five and eight days during the week coming up (play rehearsal and softball games...blah). We'll see how I survive... EDIT: then the question is: do I want to break my addiction? Not really... EDIT 2: Then there is the part where I'm back again...do I ever really leave? No...
