You weep because nobody on your campus is a Tolkien fan. *sniff sniff* I'M SO ISOLATED! HELP ME! HELP MEEE!
You get angry when you wait more than two hours for someone to answer your post in an Inn. (Green Dragon, White Horse, it doesn't matter.) *Maeggaladiel checks her watch.* "Come on, people, I'm WAITING!") You cry because you drew a wonderful avatar on Paint and it was too big to use. CURSE YOU, PAINT! CURRRSSEE YOUUUU! Making it smaller warped Boromir's face. You get envious of other people's avatars. *folds arms, pouts* Why can't I have nice things?!?! Avatarless, Maeg

Oh, you poor thing, Maeggaladiel! the only other Tolkienite on campus is a Senior and is graduating in two weeks!!! Oh, the horror! I have three more years. Oh well. At least I've got the Downs.

It's equally tough when you know there are other Tolkienites in your campus other than you, but nobody's as open to discuss it as you are...you can't even speak Tolkien with anybody in your school...

We should create a support group for isolated Tolkienites!
Anyway, You Know You're Addicted to the Barrow-Downs When: Your fingers type www.barrowdowns.com faster than anything else. Every time you get on the internet, your hands start into the two-second barrowdowns.com motions and you have to hold yourself back before your fingers click "ENTER." Why hold back? because you were supposed to be looking up research for homework! Mwa ha haaaa! MAEG

You know you're addicted to the Barrow Downs when you get exited that people actually join your Society for Nearsighted Elves. It started out as just a joke, and now we've got eight members. Eowyn Skywalker is thinking about adding a section on her proboard just for the society. And Siritheruwen, I read your sig and I feel for you. Maybe you could join the Society as an Ambassador to All Nearsighed Non-Elves. Tell me if you're interested. Quote:

aye, no worries maeg... it happens to all of us... bloody poof of a thing though, computers... they help and then they can ruin your creativity with one download... Personally, i just sketch then take a laser scanner hook it up to my computer and scan... works most of the time. Then you have to crop, cut, ect...
 Hope to see more art soon.

You know you're addicted to Barrowdowns when:
1.Your latest insult is "Stupid, fat hobbit"(THis pertains more to LOTR) 2.You consider rewriting your copy of LOTR in green just so it feels like you are on barrowdowns. 3.You refuse to tell your sister about the new chapter by chapter read through and discussion of LOTR because you are afraid she will cut into your time.

A Barrow-downs addiction can take the form of spending late nights pondering the havoc that could be wreaked by hybrid Downers.
Just think: Bêthburra and The Squatter of Amon Rimbaud... *shudders*
