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

[Volo]

I don't have a specific WW song, but I noticed that I stopped to think if the singer is bluffing and truly a Wolf.


Don't you think we need a Wolf-smiley by now?

The "nail and teeth" line could be a slip...

Another sign:
You study for your philosophy midterm using a WW-analysis format.

Aristotle – Probably innocent, at least because of his interations with Platowolf...

What about the following?

1) Your friend tells you a hilarious dream of hers and you almost tell her to post in BD dreams, even though she's not a 'downer and the dream is not 'downs-related.

2) You leaf through a manual for some gadget and when you first accidently come across with the Czech version you decide to look for more funny languages and you happen to open the page in Danish and when you try again you hit the German instructions and this all makes you think: "really creepy... this must be magic: 'downer languages...."

3) Probably if someone counted how many times per day I think about BD or ww or anything related to them, the result would be quite alarming...

As long as you didn't find Fungoltch and Shcmurt's language.

I think how many hours per day will be more appropriate. Because some two weeks ago, I was traveling to the other side of the city, which took about an hour; and because of too many people in the traffic I was not able to open and read a book as I am used to, I was thinking all the way - and thinking about Downs-related things. It felt really strange to concentrate for an hour, without interruption, on thinking just about the Downs.

That's a bit crazy. Although I must admit having thought about the 'downs for long times at nights when trying to sleep, but admittedly it has mostly been werewolf those times. And not being able to sleep because of werewolf is something really bad...

Well I didn't have such problems with Werewolf, fortunately... although recently, I had problems to fall asleep when I suddenly got an idea for a WW setting after I went to bed. One cannot simply fall asleep with a sudden inspiration and interesting ideas unfolding in his mind.

But what are you saying, a bit? That's an euphemism, to be sure.

Hmmm... possibly. But if I called that kind of things crazy, I wonder what should my signs of addiction called, so it' better to call you behaviour just "a bit crazy" just to be on the safe side myself.

I just noticed one more serious sign of BD addiction. I just got my English research paper back and I realised I've been just as careless about making up new words as in ww. Fortunately my teacher seemed not to mind it too much, at least she had not mentioned it in the feedback she had written. Also, what I actually think is even more alarming: when I read my final words it really reminded me of my posts in the BD. I don't know which is the bad thing: that such comparison even occured to me at all or that the style in which I write English school things resembles my BD posting style that much.... but I think it's odd anyway.
