    When is the right time to initiate a countdown?

    We've all got stuff that we look forward to, right? Even in the chat room earlier, it was clear a few people were preparing for the phenomenon that is Snakes on a Plane. Some other guy said it was 5 days to the release of [i]Dirge of Cerberus. But when does anticipation become overkill?

    When's the right time to start a countdown? Does it depend on the magnitude of whatever it is you're looking forward to? I remember Mandee counting down from 100 days to her wedding day. So yeah, discuss.

    Countdown to NFL Regular Season. It's coming

    Yeah I believe it depends on the magnitude. I mean the years are being counted down until the sun explodes and that's not due for I don't know how many years. But I'm not going to do a countdown for something like the next time I go get ice cream, it's not that important.

    I have no countdown.

    I'd say 2-4 weeks is the earliest you can start a countdown without seeming crazy, unless it's something major, like with Shlup and her wedding countdown.

    If it's more than a month away, I prefer to just try not to think about it too much, otherwise the wait just becomes increasingly unbearable.

    I'm counting down to my graduation, which is in 43 weeks and 2 days, which is 303 days, I think. ^_^

    I dont like countdowns I just obsess over the idea that it's coming and I add more "color" to my life and dreams.
