hehehe!!! great idea! You know you're addicted to Obernewtyn when: - You start speaking to your cat...and believe that he/she's answering you. - You only ask for Chocca at the local cafe. And they're used to it. - You trade your car in for a black horse. - Your diet consists of bread, cheese and cloudberry cordial. - You get a tattoo, despite the fact that you hate needles - guess what of?  - Your trip to Europe becomes the 'Lets Find The Locations Of The Land' tour. - You ask random people in the shopping centre if they bear the Moonwatcher. - Your wardrobe has lots of trews, boots, tunics and capes in it - plus some hippy clothing you convince yourself is gypsy garb - just in case Rushton calls on you to go incognito. - You dream you're Elspeth. - You dream you're Elspeth's best friend. - You think that IC MAY be a Futureteller. - You change your surname by deed poll to Seraphim. - Despite the hatred and persecution of people found to be Misfits, you'd love to take your chances and live in the Land (that says a lot about the world we live in doesn't it?) - You theorise about who's better for Elspeth: Dameon & Rushton - whenever you can! You know you're obsessed with Obernewtyn.net when: - You've been wrtten in to one of Kayt's fantastic musicals! - You have more close friends here than in real life (what, I ask, is more real then?) - You believe that a purple antelope is normal. - Throwing Veges is a past time. - "You're Fired!" takes on a whole new meaning. - You *grug* people. I'm sure everyone will think of tons more! |

Yes! All those  And I've considered calling my daughter Elspeth, too  And I swear that at some time in the future I'm going to ask a ramdon stranger whether they bear the Moonwatcher. Okay, You know you're addicted to Obernewtyn when... * You internally dismiss guys you meet as "Not as cute as Rushton/Dameon/Gilbert". * You base the plots of your own stories on the Obernewtyn timeline ("I'd better put in a revelation at the 25,000 word mark, because it's about there that Elspeth found out Selmar was a Talent"). * When you hear the word "dragon" or "salamander" you have to remind yourself that they're creatures, not characters. * You excuse the fact that you don't like housework much by rationalising that you're obviously more of a farseeker than a futureteller. * You actually chortled for glee when you first found out there was an online Obernewtyn community. blindmouse |

You stop swearing out loud, because of the censors, and instead start using words like "pants".
I do that!
