What brings out the Gollum in you? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Lalaith · 10-12-2007, 02:45 PM

I had a real Gollum moment yesterday.
I thought I'd lost my memory stick. I was frantic. I turned everything upside down. I paced the floor. I called out, Oh No!! What shall I do!!
Then, I finally found it, on the floor of the car under the drivers seat. I was so relieved that I kissed it. Several times.
Then I realised, chastened in the wake of this hysteria, that my memory stick really is my precioussss. For example, I am often in the habit of putting my hand into my bag to caress it, just to make sure it is there.

What is your preciouss?

My memory stick, also. It contains the remnants of my computer before it crashed, basicly most of my achievements, I wouldn't want to lose it.

What's with all the memory sticks?

Did anyone forge the Memory Sticks of Power and sent them out into the world or what? Do you see what are you doing? That's not fun: you are Gollums!!!

Now, you had your memory sticks for quite a long time! Leave them be, it's for your own good!

sorry to be serious pn a not so serious topic.

I do not know if this is good or bad...
My doctor put me on an antidepressant. It was the first one ever to work that well for me.... and i realized i got really really "obsessed" over it.
I controll several times a day if i really still have enough of it. I carry it with me all the time.

I really do not know if i am in the process of getting adicted to it.

I'm not familiar with the term 'memory stick' hmm I wonder if that's the same thing as a 'flashdrive' or 'jumpdrive' as we call it in the States.

My precioussss was Starbucks

, but since I'm forbidden from caffiene I have replaced Starbucks with that delicious Werther's candy...(which has now caused me to be called 'gramps.')
