...and then you start wondering if there's an Italian BDer.

I saw a disk by a band called Lush in the library and was quite amused.

But apart from that I'm annoyed that a person who is not Lommy is using a painting by Mucha as her messenger avatar. :/

Well, I'm not sure if this is a sign of addiction or, rather, being able to profit from knowing also foreign people, but as it's BD related I guess I can post it anyway.

In my German lesson today we had to write a short letter of invitation to an (imaginary) German friend. I've never been very fond of inventing friends to write a letter to in these kind of assignments, so I decided to write a letter to Macalaure instead. I invited him (and also Rikae, if she happens to be in Germany at the same time) to Finland in the summer.

Willkommen!

I was watching a game of ice hockey yesterday. It was Russia vs. Czech republic. On the lower left corner of the TV there was an information-box which had in it the time-count of the game and the scoreline + the shorthands for the teams. It said Russia - Czech rep!

Czech rep?

When you read a post in the "Books" area of the forum, you swear you could see the scythe on Morthoron's avvie move.

I must be on this website too much! But I love it!

When you've just started your 12th and 13th courses of the year (in a normal 10 course year), you're utterly exhausted, and you can barely manage to talk to people anymore... and not only are you still checking the 'Downs daily, you've started posting occasionally again.

That's when you know you're addicted.

I think of lush when ever I buy my favourite bath stuff http://www.lush.co.uk/

But that was a pre-existing interest ... more worrying is when you develop an interest in poker from and enquiry about an avatar

I wouldn't risk real money but another way to waste more time is not what I need...
