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

Or when the first thing you do when you get up in the morning is go on the Barrow-Downs even though you have to do many more things to do before you go to school.

Or when you sit the whole day in the Downs doing nothing, even though you have the basic "a lot of important things to do". I can always blame the floo I'm having, but still... I never remember my hand aching in a way that indicates that I have held it on a mouse for too long.

When you just have to take a picture of a penguin, whether it's real or a snowglobe because it makes you think of Lommy.

Of course, it helps that I already love penguins myself...but whenever I see something penguin related, I can't help but point at it and say, "Lommy would love that!"

When you think of the year 2002 as very very very long ago.

In the place where I attend art classes, there's a wall some children have painted to. One of the paintings is a crippled Superman who, I think, looks exactly like littlemanpoet. It amuses me very much every time I see it, and lately (unless I misheard) Lommy has also agreed that it looks like him.

I just read the last couple pages of this thread and I was in stitches! So much of it is stuff that I do too. :P

This one's already been done, sort of, but still....

When you're talking with a couple friends (one who knows of WW and one who doesn't) and you completely leave the other person out of the conversation because they have no idea what's going on.

Also, when you're talking to friends and you talk about nothing but WW. You know you should shut up and ask them how their day went, especially since they've never heard of WW, but....I mean, come on! It's WW!

When you get into a computer game, and they ask you to type in your nickname, and you enter Findy...

Haha! And I have a Latvian friend who looks exactly like Elempi.

indeed! I have 44MB and I regard that a lot.

My own addiction that I noticed about a week ago but couldn't post here (I was afraid I would forget it - another addiction?) is that when having to make a collective desicion I "vote". I've been doing that for a longer period of time, but never before WW.

When you (and Nogrod, mind you) are quite convinced that Lommy is talking about legative feelings instead of negative...
