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".
