Welcome to CTYI-aholics annonynous

My name is Vikki and I'm a nevermore, I've been addicted to CTYI since my first mini-CTYI back in 01, I had to quit CTYI yesterday and being a nevermore i can't ever have it again. I'm now suffering severe withdrawal symptoms such as wearing a spoon bracelet and reading time in spoons. I want help. Anybody in a similar predicament to mine please post here so that i don't feel alone! We can get through this if we work together... maybe...

Anyone else think this was about computer apps?

halenger

Yup. Can't help but think "CompApp" when I see "CA"/"C.A."...

Vikki: You'll live, seriously. You'll perhaps pine and reminisce and miss friends but at the end of the day you'll live. We've all been there (where all is us oldies). Go to reunions, meet up with your (CTYI) friends.

its not very anonymous. But yeah, feel better and stuff *pats vikkis head*

You'll be fine. I'm a nevermore too, and yeah, granted, it sucks that we don't get to go back next year and all that jazz, but we still have the people there from it. Friends just don't go away when something ends, or they weren't friends to start with. Just because it's over doesn't mean the spirit of it ends. Thinking of it that way, it doesn't seem so bad.

Aah Vikki, don't be so sad. I'll go to Navan and we can be roomies again and bitch about the flooded bathroom and talk the sort of crap that only comes out of one's mouth on the verge of sleep.

I am another nevermore, but it hasn't hit me yet and won't until May when I'm thinking about the summer. What's been said to me is that even though the pining doesn't really stop, it's easier to just acknowledge that you had fun and that even though you can't go back it still had an impact and that it should be treasured and other such cliched but comforting stuff. And Aoibheann's point is completely valid too.

You'll get over it........once you realise that 3 good weeks in your summer can turn into a month of fun before school/college. Get a job and spend all your cash on having fun:D

Un-Big

Poor Vikki *huggle* Don't cry cause it's over, smile cause it happened! I think I've been sounding too much like a Hallmark card over the past few days =\

i thought id never get over ctyi, or not get over it but learn to live without it but you do. the best cure is too over does imdeiately afterwards, and i dont mean with drugs go to as many ctyi related events as you possibly can. get your ass to eveyr whisper of a reunuion and such. eventually the idea of lying in a grass orgy becomes stale especially when it looks like rain, and the conversation rehashes the same old points. however this may take a long time. as in i was a nevermore last year and it took reneacting street spirit in the middle of grafton street at a mini reunuion in i think december or january to properly get it out of my system. you will be okay.

My soloution to being a nevermore is forcing Colm to let me back in next year...and he says he probably will

Ditto that

freakydeadgirl

the withdrawal is worse when you are a 8+ hour plane ride away
messageing and e-mail is all i can do

When's your birthday? We won't get session 2 but I'd say he'll let us into 1

My friend's birthday is in the middle of June, she asked could she come back next year at all, but they said she couldn't

Mine is at the end of May and Colm said I might be allowed come back. Tell her to email him at around the time the course booklets come out and ask if she can go.

Mine's the 28th, he said to e-mail him in April to find out if there any places left. I'd do maths again if it means I can go back

I'm the 24th. I'd do pretty much anything being a nevermore is actually pretty damn depressing

abraham lincoln

fiodhna's is near the end of june, she asked and he said that she would be able to get another year out of it when it came to it

Am I right in thinking you're Hilary?

My mam said she'll engrave "CTYI" on my spoon bracelet... How much do you think DCU spend on replacing cutlery? - Sophia

Lady penelopy

ah, larry and his mad spoon bracelets.

the_only_Ali

Larry's great coz he engraved mine with broken glass. It says "CTYI". So fitting...
I'm ok this year, haven't been in withdrawal at all... this seems strange as I am a nevermore, and I was horribly upset last year and the year before. I miss you guys, but thats about it... I can live without my course and the food to be honest. There better be another reunion soon, I slept through the one on saturday.
