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

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.

I think one interesting sign of addiction is when your brother is listening to Jethro Tull and your first reaction is to go and tell him: "Hey, I know this song - Hookbill used to have it as his location!"

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 12-22-2008, 10:17 PM

When you are very stressed all day long and all night (and the week before) because you haven't gotten your picture for Paper Telephone in yet...

Or when your Downsian friends become more important to you than your RL friends... (except Laurinque, because you can talk about the Downs with her...)

That's understandable. I probably would have done that too. Are we "getting a bit short on Legates lately" by any chance? Does your brother like LOTR, by the way? We could get him to come join with us if he does.

Who listens, understands

Hmm... this has inspired me:

I see Amon Lanc
On the horizon
Set under a black cloud
That hides the sun.

Bring me my broadsword
And clear understanding.
Bring me my Silmaril*.... etc
