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

I assign walks down the BD memory lane to Orthanc.

Whoops, wrong thread.

I was searching for something (still am, as I post this, actually) in the announcements subforum and couldn't help re-reading some of the threads every so often. It's time-consuming (and I'm supposed to be doing something else, but who here isn't?

) but I'm having a lot of fun! Look, I even unearthed this for y'all.

I'm quite sure Enca won't mind (even if she no longer wanders here)...

I work at a secondhand store where we accumulate a copious amount of clothes. I was putting away some of the said garments when I could have sworn I saw a shirt that said "Abercrombie of Rohan". I flipped back to it, but it had morphed to that other boring trademark.

I saw a van with the words "Mac tools" on it, and did a double take, then I thought: what is Mac doing in England?

When a friend has internet on his phone and while ordering a meal you decide that one just must try if one can enter BD by phone and post a post on the Addiction thread. Half way the post he was half way his meal, and then I pressed some button which deleted my whole message.

I'm not getting such a phone.

Been there, done that. Well, gotten on the Downs via a friend's cell, that is.

I consider it a serious sign of addiction that I start laughing aloud at some seemingly ordinary passages of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre. Like these:

Quote:

It was from companionship with this baby-phantom I had been roused on that moon-light night when I heard the cry...

Quote:

There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow-creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort.

Quote:

Though haughty Hate should strike me down,
Right, bar approach to me,
And grinding Might, with furious frown,
Swear endless enmity.
