Bad weather affecting your obsession too, eh Morsul? A few days ago, I was hit by a particularly feirce storm that knocked out my power and then my internet for more than twnty-four hours.

That is severe Downs Withdrawl.

I couldn't go on the 'Downs for a month because I was on vacation and my dad's laptop wouldn't connect. Twas horrible. I'm still scarred.

I had a month's absense as well, I was however fortunate that I was still not an extreme downer at the time I was still fairly new at the time

You know what? I actually don't think I'm a hopeless case. If I had to go for a month I'd go insane, but I just went four days without the Downs and didn't have a hernia or anything. Sure, I wondered what was going on, what I was missing, but I was having a spiffy time on vacation so I wasn't too bothered. (Of course, the fact that I saw the Lord of the Rings exhibit at a museum may have served to distract me

)

Speaking of bad weather, theres a large hurricane comming to my down, but hopefully it won't effect my internet time!

HELP!!! I've been away for only three days, and I already feel out of it!

I've just been back to my regular haunts, and I've found that I've missed quite a lot! I mean, some people have new avatars (Morsul the Dark and Feanor of the Peredhil, most notably.) I've just missed out on a lot.

BUT! I've come to a decision.....

I'M NEVER LEAVING AGAIN!

Gil-Galad · 08-25-2004, 01:56 PM

Don't forget me!!!

Encaitare · 08-25-2004, 03:58 PM

Yeah, me too.. I like this new avvie, though, it's somewhat disturbing.

It is strange to see people changing their avatars, though. Morsul is no longer a giant M.

yes, yes, Gil-galad. But you changed yours before I left. But I do like your new avvie. Kind of miss Strong Bad as his video game character, but Trogdor is very cool.

very true. I've gotten that feeling before. A lot.

I know that feeling elronds_daughter -- I've been gone for a week since I started posting again yesterday. Just keep track of your posts (like in your profile) and I'm sure you'll get back into your momentum

The Perky Ent · 08-25-2004, 04:41 PM

Yes, if you don't keep up, you loose track
