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

Lindale · 12-09-2008, 10:41 AM

Lindale is finally admitting her addiction to BD because... she's posting here and there, more often than she checks her blog. And she's wondering if she's the only person from her part of the world still active in the Downs. I swear I knew at least three other Filipinos, and I'm willing to bet two are in my school... I wonder where they went.

They're both still alive, I can assure you. Unfortunately, in this region of cyberspace, being alive is not exactly a good thing.

Well Lhuna good to see a kababayan, finally someone na makakaintindi ng sig ko. Minsan naiirita kasi ako kapag hindi ko mabasa yung mga pinagsusulat ng mga Europeo dito. Now I guess sila rin, maiirita na hindi maintindihan ito. Or not. Cheers nalang.

Ooh lookie this, too.

Sometimes in my addiction to the Downs I wonder if I can ask somewhere or someone here something about German grammar--especially if I'm working on an assignment. Our insane professor sometimes ask us level-2 students to write papers in German about customs and stuff.

I'm quite amused by the fact that I'm posting from somebody else's account, from somebody else's home, from somebody else's country. Hehehee!

Oh, and Legate has an amusing brother.

*points up* Well, I am sure you can make the picture yourselves on how it's going on around here...

I wonder if it's a sign of addiction that your mother remembers not only Downers but also their siblings by their real names (although in her defence I could say those names are usually particularly funny

).

Now that reminds me of an old dream of mine...

Anyway, I think that even though greatly decreased, the amount of time I spend talking about the 'Downs with my RL-'downer friends is a bit worrying...

People who played in the Republic WW game might understand why I started giggling on an English lesson after reading the following passage...

When you suddenly change your opinion or decision to an opposite one, you do a 180.

I don't understand why that made you laugh. . . . for me that game was rather traumatic.
