clorophilla

(and a TD addicted one, if...)

...TD is not your home page but it's the first you open when you turn on the PC

...you can't help to check your update page at least 4 times at day

...you are distracted at work for you are wondering what the next showcase could will be

...you have multiple draw windows opened on the screen

...you HAVE to comment every pic you like

...your neightborhood knows the wild shout they hear at 3.00 A.M. is you, having lost your last 3day work on TD

...You look at a REAL landscape and think: "This would be best drawed by... [a TD of your choice]"

you look at a REAL landscape and wonder "Which palette would be the best to draw this?"

...when sleeping, you dream to draw something in candies as an oiniric representation of your abstract reasoning

you talk with your disconcerted friends per unclear metaphors as: "You are hard as a blue sky in Fruits", or: "sooner or later, you have to push the 'submit' button"

...in a REAL gallery, gazing a famous work of art, you sigh: "what a pity not to have the playback button here!"

...

carry on you guys

Haaai clorophilla I thought I was the only addicted one. Is there a cure for this? My family already accused TD as the "baddest thing" ever happen to me. (I think my husband is catching this bug also - he checked the vote every few minutes). LOVE IT!!!!!

mdawrcn

Yep, I am guilty of all the things Clo listed and more.

...you are in an important meeting with colleagues and find yourself looking over someone's shoulder at a painting on the wall and wondering how you my reproduce it in TD and which palette would work best.

...once you stumble upon an idea that you like, no matter what is on your agenda for the day, or how late at night it is, nothing is more important than getting that drawing done.

mdawrcn

oops my = might, I guess.

Normal

Marvellous Clo! I recognize most of those symptoms, though not so badly as when I started. Hope I'm not undergoing addiction withDRAWal.

(Reminds me of my 4th year of college French - we had to read Proust and I started having nightmares in French.) I have woken up with a debate as to which palette for something going on in my head.

indigo

Oh yes, sweet addiction! Guilty of all the above... and loving it! *J*

Shanley

Oh my....you surely made me laugh, Clo. I had to focus on my work lately, but even so I can help going through the galleries each time I get a chance, checking the forum for interesting Challenges and topics,etc.


To add one more to your list:
-you know you're addicted when your friends offer to buyyou color pencils just to convince you to sleep and not browse the TD galleries till morning.

... If the first few days of the month feel like they take forever, because you are waiting for the Top 5 to come out.

...if you are able to write mdawrcn's nick without check if it's the right lettering

mdawrcn

Ha ha. Thanks for a great laugh on this Friday the 13th!

Baldur

oh that is so true...I can't count the times I corrected mdawncrn.

mdawrcn

Oh, how I wish I could change it as my login name. It is part of an email address and even I have to write it down before I can give it to someone.

marg

you've got it, chloro.. !

I'm going through a really busy time at the moment, so haven't been able to draw for the last year or so, but ThinkDraw made me look at EVERYTHING in terms of 'how can I draw that' - and I mean railway lines, sunsets, shadows.. everything.

ThinkDraw also made me realise that people can so easily misunderstand a written word and take offence, or be thought to take offence - and how fantastic most people actually are

marg

..oh.. and ditto arw.. I keep checking for the new Top 5 even when I haven't drawn any pics that month !

cathyallheart

yes to most of the things

cathyallheart

some not all

AFSOUTH

When you have a active and passionate life wishing for 72 hour days but still make every bit of time possible for TD & Friends!

Meander

Yes! I do those things all the time. (it's good to know I'm not the only one )

Lizzi

M-DAW-Roman Catholic-Nick, but she will always be Mc Drawn to me. It's fun to hear that TD-obsessed is not limited to a few!

methusalinka

and you are becoming one of you..friends..when you let go of your sceptical
way and begin to trust..cause though competition is...part of it..its not the most.its not even the drawing to me thats the most, though it is dragging me from much else.to palate and bits..over and over..but the friendly way in here..is at first unreal..but then just so welcomed. overwhelming, people here are good to oneanother, want to share, to help, and thats the core to me of TD
world.
