I wonder if it's a sign of addiction that it really bothers me more that I haven't written the final narration for my late ww-game yet than that I have several unwritten texts for my creative writing lessons...

I think that we are talking of an addiction to WW, which I would argue is not the same as an addiciotn to The Downs.

Well, Rune, if that's not good enough for you, how about making 107 posts in the past 15 days...?

*serious face* I should really do something about it. The more that only about 10% of that were in the Books thread. *more serious face* See it? Now this is indeed a grave case. *even more serious face* I should delete this post.

I have one interesting contribution, maybe I would not even call it a sign of addiction. But today on one lesson I had to make notes from what the lecturer was saying very fast. And once it came handy to me that I am a Downer: the lecturer was saying some quotation, and I did not have to write it all, I simply noted: "Kitanna's avatar" and moved on.

Hmmmm... The First day on the Downs, I think I made forty-some posts or something.
You know... my family thinks I am crazy and you should see my friends, I hadn't been on the Downs for like a week or two and they were mad at me for mentioning it at lunch.  Anyway, how do you say Volo... I've always pronounced it like Volvo, just without the v. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ................ or you check the newspaper thread every time you're on, even though it only comes out weekly. Because you like it so much.

 How do you pronounce Volvo? I pronounce it with o's like in "odd". Funny thing is that I was teased by being called Volvo in primary school. :S

When, even in your own work, you cannot help but mention the Downs, even if *cough* subtly. This is one of three Downs references I've put into my pseudo mythology which includes Penguins as a race:
 There is also a Bear called Legate and a Dinosaur called Rune in the legends...

Hahaha! Nice, Hookbill.
When my Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy prof told us one lecture class that she likes penguins, I almost blurted out, "Pareho kayo ni Lommy!" I caught myself just when the words were at the tip of my tongue.. (Pareho means same, kayo is you (plural). Do the math. )

When you try to log in to a school computer with your BD user name and wonder why it's not working.
When you realise that you can mostly blame BD for having read so little lately. I used to spend more time with books and less with the computer. *sigh*

When you have an amazing dream but are disappointed that it didn't have any downers in it so you can't post it on the relevant thread.

when you use Middle-earth words/Tolkien languages on Text/Twist and take umbrage when they aren't accepted.
Really--orcs is part of the English vocabulary now, itsn't it? And ent? and hobbit surely is.

When you're watching a clip from 'Britain's most interesting trees' (or whatever it was actually called) and you can't help but think the man being interviewed is actually an ent, so when you see Bethberry's post on here you can't help but mention it!
