I love feeling popular. Here, I have so many friends! Combined with my "real" friends (meaning those I've actually met face to face) I probably have more friends than the "popular" people at my school. So I feel loved. *hugs everyone*

A little thing I enjoy is checking the Members List to watch davem and Fordim vying for highest reputation. Let's see... davem's got it right now. Goodness me, they're up to five boxes apiece???

I love the color scheme. It is very Barrow-esque.

I also love how much there is to be learned here. I've found more knowledge here than I have in my Eglish Literature class, I can tell you that. And it's infinitly more fun to boot.

I enjoy watching the little newbies as they enter the forums. Then they grow to have more posts than I do, and they're no longer newbies. They are well-educated Downers with something witty and smart to say.

I love the Downs...(Insert evil smiley)

Check the List now, check it now, quick! Before davem posts again and once more moves past me.

I'm number one, I'm number one, I'm number one!

I wonder why I get feeling that FH wasn't on too many sports teams in earlier life.... that competitive streak was not channelled enough methinks....

Only if Halma and Bridge are also.... On this side of the Atlantic... well things are a bit lax, but unless you are a Paralympian - a sport is something you have to leave your chair to participate in....

But then I was a founder member of my Uni's women's rugby team - it's not the winning - it's the taking apart...

So you are, and well done!

Uh, yeah, so .... back on topic...

Let's see... what else do I love about the Downs? Oh yes, it provides a nice distraction from silly mundane things like English homework. Plus, I love it when you discover that other people are into the same dorky things as me, ie Pink Floyd, Monty Python, Hitchhikers Guide, and so forth. Makes me feel less alone in the world.
