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 update the page everytime you rep someone with only a few rep blocks just to see if the person's rep blocks increase. It's really satisfying to see the reputation status change.

When a TV advert featuring a little girl who loves penguins makes you think "I wonder if Lommy was like that when she was a moppet".

Awww... I guess I started my penguinism in the age of 7 or 8.

The Eye I guess this is the place to tell this

I fuess it could be a sign that I am checking the names of streets to find refferences to other BD'ers. . . I do this because I discovered a road name "Volosvej" the other day. (Volo's way)

Heehee...I've been known to do that. I'm not quite a saint, though, since I've also done the reverse with certain less-than-courteous posters (only those that really deserve to be cast into the void, of course.)
