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

Eönwë · 05-28-2008, 07:48 AM

When you have nothing to do so every 10 minutes you constantly check if there have been any new posts.

Oh, I know precisely in which "stage" you are currently, Eönwë

I have gone through it too...

Now, there's one thing which I consider a rather scary sign of addiction, which I should as well post to the BD Dreams thread, but... I had a dream today which I don't remember, almost at all, but what I remember is that I posted on this thread about some sign of addiction... I don't actually recall what it was, but I remember it was quite serious. The most serious thing however was, that the dream was so vivid that I was not sure whether I really haven't posted that sign here...

I belive this is one of the most common signs of addiction, at least it is the one that has been mentioned the most. I think this is at least the third time I have read people mentioning on this thread.

No comment

Though seriously, I think it's been better for some time, however I am quite convinced it will return someday

Oops... (who readeth, understand...)

When you have BD dreams about five days in a row, and are somewhat saddened by the fact that you don't remember their content well and thus can't post them.

Also, when all of a sudden you start thinking of weird similitudes, like "He is thin like Lómien."

Seconded. For the past couple of days, when I wake up, I can barely even remember who were the Downer-subjects of my dream no matter how hard I try, much less what happened in the dream. It's frustrating.

Haha! We were walking in the city with Lommy, when I saw two girls (from our school) carrying a sign saying "I ♥ MAC".

Indeed, poor them, because we laughed at them quite a lot.

Anyway, it was plain hilarious as the sign was very big and there was nothing else on it (except in very small print at the bottom).

I never seem to have enough of those moments!

...and every time you check, you're tempted to add a post to the RPG that says

WILL

I just realised that all this time, I've been unconsciously imagining Arthur Weasley as Nogrod.

*dies* Oh, the hilariousity. And I really have to admit there's a similarity!

Mithalwen · 06-04-2008, 06:44 AM

Hopefully not plug collecting...

When you see an Irish pub called Finns - and think of Lommie and co.

Eönwë · 06-04-2008, 11:31 AM

When you see PM (for Prime Minister) and immediately think of Private Messaging.

HAHA! Now you have me doing the same thing! Blast....

The Day's over, and I'm still expecting posts for some reason. And nobody's even on IM, so I've got nothing to do....dagnabbit.

Durelin · 06-08-2008, 12:16 AM

Well, I won't say this is about my addiction to the Downs, really...it's more about how much the 'Downs has meant for me (yes yes, take the sappyness out of Mirth, I know!)... On my high school class ring (I almost didn't bother to get one), I had inscribed on one side just below the stone my year of graduation very traditionally, and on the other, 'Durelin'.

Makes me more fond of it than I'd ever thought I'd be, in addition to the old name of my school being on there, too (they're changing locations after a looooonnng time, and so changed the name because the name was connected to the place...) Yeah, I think I'd answer to 'Durelin' if anyone ever started calling me that "in RL".

Awwww, that's cool, Dure.

Hehe is it sad that I answer to Sally on a regular basis? *shifty eyes*
