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

While reading a book, you catch yourself thinking "This would make a good quote for Palantir of Fortune."

You misread Gwindor as Gwathagor and it takes you some time to find anything odd in it.

While studying Swedish irregular verbs, words like brinna and legat cheer you up. Also, the first thing to occur to you when hearing the name Runeberg is not the national poet of Finland, as it probably ought to be.

You chuckle when seeing an enterprise called MacMaintenance Ltd.

This amusement park ride called Hurja Kuru (hurja is ferocious in English and an appropriate transalation for kuru is gully, I think) never fails to make you laugh.

Every time you play werewolf, your father threatens to go and post "I'm a werewolf, lynch me!" if you leave the Downs open when going away for a while. Not that he'd actually do that, though.
Nevertheless, that leads you to remind him that he has promised to buy you a laptop about two years ago. And this time you keep reminding him until he fulfills his promise. A major reason is that you want to play werewolf in the peace of your room.
