There was a picture of Gandhi as the Superman in the newspaper, now I'll always see Gil-Galad as Gandhi...

You know you are addicted to BD when you see a Greek sentence transcribed into latin font and seeing the words: einai he kath... the picture of Mulder&Scully pops up in your head.

Good to know I'm so wedged in your subconscious!

Top Ten Signs You're Addicted to the Barrow-Downs are when you should read the exams of your students and you hang around the BD the whole evening and even start a LiveJournal -stuff just to avoid the papers...

I mean this is pathetic.

Or is it a sign of not wishing to do your work?

I have to ask, Nogrod. . .when you where in Turky, did you go online just to check The Downs?

When you start to consider yourself more intelligent, stronger at writing and generally better than your (poor mis-deluded, boring) peers because of the older, wittier more eloquent 'Downers you converse with.

You know you are addicted to the BD when:

-You are writing your opinions about the Harry Potter character Luna Lovegood, and misspell her name as Lhuna (I'm sure fellow LJers are quite aware of my mistake...

)

-You (once again) are reading Harry Potter and when you see the mention of a text called Advanced Rune Translation, you think to yourself, "Hmm...I could use one of those..."

-Everytime you drive by a store called Jay's Pawn Shop, you can't help but think of tgwbs

-You explain to your manager of the movie theatre you work at the entire Hobbit film situation and rumours you've heard, all based on what you've read in the BD movie forum..
