LonelyCracks Anonymous
Contents
Definition
LonelyCrack is a portmanteau of the words "Lonelygirl15" and "crack". Users who are addicted to the lonelygirl15 series refer to it as their drug, and jokingly claim to go through withdrawal when a video has not been posted for over a day. An example of usage would be "I need my fix of LonelyCrack... now!"
Addicts sometimes refer to themselves as LonelyCrack-heads or LonelyCrackers.
First use of the word LonelyCrack
NAXAN (send note) Says: November 25th, 2006 at 3:22 pm I for one am not afraid of new characters. The comments I made on the 24th had to do with WHAT this medium should be. And, no I have intentions of leaving LonelyCrack....err, Lonelygirl, because of new people. We will all be here to the end...
Symptoms of LonelyCrack Addiction
- Your opening comment to any video posted must include "FIRST!" (loudly) in the body of your comment (see also User:General Firstsayer).
- Return to the website daily, if for no other reason, to re-read the comments you read yesterday (or in the last ten minutes).
- Avoid all things Orange (especially Orange Slurpee, although Cherry, Grape and Cola have tested okay).
- Look suspiciously at any and all Girl Scouts (or any person in possession of Girl Scout Cookies).
- Ensure you have quarters available whenever you log on (for Lizard).
- Dwell on any mystery (related or not) for the sake of dwelling on mysteries.
- Keep all of your Marbles clean and shiny (if you have any left, mine went to Marbella).
- Make sure your local preschool DOES teach anagram solving.
- Find yourself saying "meep" in place of any swear word (unless your name is 707clique).

The Breakout Sessions
Proposed break-out sessions for the support group meetings:
- stuffed animal codependency
- blacksuitophobia
- anagram obsession
- Orange may not be as evil as thought
The Support Group Food
All food at the meetings should be rich in healthy, mood-enhancing endorphins:
- bundt cake
- chocolate cookies
- fudge
- pizza
- ice cream
A special recipe for "LonelyCrack Fudge" was provided by Withe:
Take an entire bag of any kind of chip (chocolate, peanut butter, cherry, white chocolate, whatever kind of baking chip you find in the bakery aisle at the supermarket) and dump it into a microwave safe bowl. Buy a tub of whatever cake icing you prefer. Dump about 4/5 of the container into the bowl with the chips. (You can save whatever's left in the container to ice the fudge if you prefer). Nuke it for 1 minute. Stir. Nuke it for another minute. Stir. Nuke it one more time at one minute, stir until it is all mixed together. Pour this melted yummy in your tummy concoction into a baking dish sprayed with a little bit of cooking spray, or rub a stick of butter on the bottom of the dish to keep it from sticking. If you want, you could sprinkle nuts on the top of the fudge while it's still hot. Give it time to cool (a couple of hours in the fridge works best). Then eat!
A joined meeting with "Fudge Overeaters Anonymous" is planned.
The Retreat Weekend
Since the LG15 - topics would never fit into our daily meetings at LG15.com, a retreat weekend was proposed.
Preferably in Paris (not Egypt!).
With the Eiffel Tower looming in the background.
In an Internet cafe (broadband connection mandatory).
The French word for "refresh" is: régénérez.
No longer in Need of Support?
You think you made it? Got a real life and managed a 48 hours abstinence from the comment boards?
Well, there is still one more test you have to pass, the NAXAN-test:
Bring this cake to the next support group meeting: Orange Cake
If you manage to bake it and eat a piece of it, you're officially clean!
Please bring your own witness for the test in case the other support group members have already run screaming out of the room before they can witness you eat!
The Support Group Board (respresented by krig) accepted the test as official with the words:
Orange bundt cake can be the litmus test of LonelyCrack-ishness.
A Poet's View on LonelyCrack
Lonelycrack; Its not an addiction.... It's something so fabulous and utterly irresistable......... We choose it. And why? It's fantasy. Wouldnt you rather believe this was real? The world lives for the fantasy. Like love Which I am experiencing. Yet not receiving. Lonelycrack; Love
