When you come on here merely waiting for toast to pop.

When you see a random stranger and think that s/he looks like DownerX. And then wonder what on earth s/he would be doing here now, since they live across the world. And only then tell yourself that no one decided to pay you a surprise visit.

During the year, I've seen several ladies who look like Esty, and it always makes me happy. I also see Shastas occasionally.

I've seen a few Estys too, but not Shastas. My record of most "Downers" at once is when I saw a group of people, among them Nog, Greenie, tp, sally, and Boro. They were shooting fireworks on Canada Day or somesuch in The Middle of Nowhere, Ontario. They would have been as good as Gandalf, had they actually been Downers.

And then other Downers here and there.

This would have been ridiculously fun had I been making it up. But since I actually thought for a moment on that Canada Day "wait...there's a moot -- here?" this is actually quite sad.

I tried to get a picture of my friend's One Ring, which, sadly, is silver, but it has the writing. However, she wouldn't let me. She's constantly afraid I'll steal it, so she doesn't take it off around me, but before she graduated, she was more than happy to sit there in SciFi/Fantasy class and let me pet the ring while crooning "my preessiousss", even though the other kids and Ms. Ferrara were gining us strange looks.

When you could do (and even have to do) a ton of different things, but all you end up doing is going back and forth from the BD homepage to Active threads to CP to the most recent post to reading old threads and repeat.

When you come on here when you're only going to be dog-sitting for about ten minutes.
