Hi Sherlock ;)
No, Ginger is not my name (it's Justyna, btw, but in english it may be Justine). I don't have ginger hair now (I tend to change my hair colour at least once a year), but a few years ago I actually was a redhead and I always loved ginger beer. I was on the vacation with my friends back then and they started connect these two facts and call me Ginger. It never changed, even when I dyed my hair again ;)
It's nothing wrong with being nosy ;)

Deilenn, you've never been in Cracow?! How is this possible? In my opinion it's the most beautiful polish city, that's why I moved here a year ago. It was quite a shock for me, cause I moved from the ugliest city in Poland (Łódź) to the most beautiful... But I don't regret ;)
I love Gdańsk too, the atmosphere is amazing. Sopot is also very nice, it's one of my three favourite cities at the seaside (alongside with Gdańsk and Świnoujście).
Random Sherlockiana » POLL: Which is your favorite episode? » July 4, 2013 10:30 am |
It's a hard choice, I actually love all episodes, maybe except The Blind Banker (I only like this one ;) ). But if I have to choose... A Study in Pink would be the one Simply because it was the first episode I watched and the first at all. That was the episode that made me love Sherlock (even more than I loved the original version). There was everything in that episode - great mystery, great humour, the first meeting beetween Sherlock and John... Everything I need in the good show. My only objection is the final scene beetween Sherlock and the cab driver - I like this scene more in the Unaired Pilot. But it doesn't change the brilliancy of this episode.
On the second place are two episodes equally - The Great Game and The Scandal in Belgravia. The first one, because of the plot, and the second one... because the funny moment's are... outstanding!

Heh, pretty sure there're more of us, somehow we're only hidden
I live in woj. kujawsko-pomorskie (not sure how to call it in English), nearly on the border of pomorskie. My town is small and you've surely never heard of it ;p I'll probably move to bigger city this year, though. So yeah, I'm from the northern part of the country :]
I've heard there're more of us, but they're hiding so far ;)
Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship (t doesn't sound very good, kujawsko-pomorskie sounds better ). I don't know that region very well, I was only once in Bydgoszcz a long time ago ;) Where you're planning to move?

Deilenn, it's nice to see my fellow countryman here and to know that I'm not the only one from Poland with the obsession about Sherlock Where you from?
Hello everyone ;)
Character Analysis » Who is your favourite character (not Sherlock or John)? » July 2, 2013 8:26 am |
Well, it's a hard choice for me... I'd say Mycroft, mostly because it's a very different creation from original and Doyle's novels didn't give him too much attention. In canon Mycroft actually was smarter than Sherlock, what Sherlock admited a few times, but in the show it seems to be quite the opposite - I'd say here Mycroft is aware, that Sherlock is, in fact, more intelligent than him. I'm curious why's that and what the implications are going to be. The relationship beetween them so far is pretty interesting and I like the fact that despite the childhood rivaly beetween them they're always eager to help each other (well, maybe not eager, but... ).
Actually all of the supportive characters in Sherlock are pretty interesting - Lestrade is very loyal and completely adorable. I started to adore him completely after the last two episodes of the second season. Molly Hooper is definitely interesting with her fondness for Sherlock and I have a feeling that she's going to be a pretty important character. Ms Hudson - again, adorable, but besides that she's very cool under pressure - after everything she's been through, living with Sherlock, who shoots the walls and holds on human eyes in his fridge... The old lady's really able to keep her cool. And, of course, Moriarty - at the beginning I wasn't convinced about him and I started to consider him an really amazing character only when I've been watching the last episode. Oh, he was brilliant! At the beginning that was my attachment to the canon speaking, but what can I do... I love psychos.
Like I said... It's a hard choice ;)

Yeah, I can't think why either
Yes, British have every right to be proud of every version of Sherlock ;) I love original Holmes, but this show... this show have something in it. Something unique.
Thanks again for welcome. Elvina, I actually envy you that you're from UK, cause I miss UK greatly. I lived there for a while and I remember those times very fondly.

Did I make comments about how old I was getting, back when I was 22? I don't remember that, but maybe I did. But then, I don't remember much these days, lolololol.....
What can I say, we all see things from our own perspective... Probably when I'll be older I'll be saying quite the oposite than now ;)

22 isn't old!
I myself recently turned 20, and I find I'm actually looking forward to gaining more years and aging a bit...does that make me weird?
For me it actually is ;) I hate the fact that I'm growing older with every day... but I feel young, and that all that matters ;)
There was a time I wanted to be older too... I stopped when I was about 20, I suppose ;)

Ok, my turn.
My name is Justyna, but I've been using "Ginger" for a little while now. I live in Cracow, Poland and I'm 22.
I study at Jagiellonian University, american studies and cultural anthropology. I'm currently working in a cinema. In my free time... well, I don't have any free time.
I play piano and a little bit guitar, I like learning languages - except polish and english I speak spanish, russian and a little bit french. Next challenge - japanese ;) My studies and work takes almost all of my time.
I love everything britain or american or japanese - I have pretty varies interests.
Music make all the sense in the world to me. I'm mostly into alternative, progresive and symphonic rock, but I also love classical music. My other passion was always movies - a few years ago I dreamed of being a film critic. I've been a film reviewer for a few years now.
I enjoy traveling and visiting european big cities. Next step - USA, I hope. Before I started my studies I lived in a small flat in London for almost two years. That was pretty exciting experience, but I'm glad I came back home
I read a lot of books, I especially enjoy british and russian authors.
I love cats and I have a big, fat, red and lazy persian cat. The real Garfield.
What else... I'm an agnostic, I don't think much about religion, but I enjoy philozophizing about the existence and the meaning of life. I don't like politics, and I don't like polish politicians either. I'm a pacifist and freedom is the most important value for me.
I've heard that I can be a little arrogant and bigheaded, and I guess it's true. Well, we can't be perfect.
I like coffe (black, with a lot of sugar), whisky with coke and smoking cigarettes. I also like studing and the colour green.
I hate cooking and I suck at that. I don't really like eating either.
I have two older brothers - one of them is a lawyer and the other one is an IT specialist. They're both awesome. I also have a boyfriend - how he can stand me, nobody kn

22 already (geez, I'm old!).
I can see that the most of us are under 20... lucky young things ;)
Meet The Members » Tell us what part of the world you come from » July 1, 2013 1:12 pm |
I'm from Cracow, Poland. There is no Poland on the list, so I just chose Europe. But I actually lived in London for two years of my life - yeah! London is my most beloved of all cities (well, except Cracow ;) ).
Anyone from Poland except me?
Meet The Members » MEMBERS POLL: Male or Female? » July 1, 2013 1:04 pm |
Well, it's hard to say, but I was a famale last time I checked.
It's actually no suprise that there is more famales than males on the forum - girls like to talk much more than guys, like to share their interests with anyone who wants to listen That's just the thing we've got.
So I see I'm just another one sherlocked woman in here...

Punch me in the face (what a nick! Respect ) - what can I say, my life were pretty busy at the time and back then Sherlock was only a little break beetween one duty and another... Even if I wanted to focus completely on the show (and I wanted!), it was rather impossible. But now I'm free and it's time to make it up
Thank you all for such a warm welcome, it can take a moment for me to find my feet here, but I hope i will manage. Seriously, are there more Poles here? Gods, we're everywhere

I've seen Sherlock for the first time almost a year ago... and I was enchanted. Then I just forgot all about it, until I started watch it all over again a few weeks ago. And I have to say it, I'm doomed.
Lately I had a lot of free time, perfect circumstances for watching series, and it was obvious - Sherlock, the best crime I've ever seen, with the best sociopathic, yet brilliant character I've ever seen. It's the most intellectually stimulating show I've watched, and intellectual stimulation is something I need the most.
So, I have totally fallen for a main character, and for the script, and for the acting, so here I am. I already loved sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories about Holmes and I can truthfully say that BBC Sherlock is the best variation of them, cause it's not really an adaptation. As I said, I'm enchanted. Oh, and I have to mention about the relatioship beetween Sherlock and John - the chemistry beetween them is overhelming and they both deserve a standing ovation.
So now maybe a few words about me - I'm Ginger, I'm from Central Europe and I'm 22. I study cultural anthropology and american studies (maybe that's why I'm so obsessed with everything british lately - we all want what we don't have, and I'm already sick of anything american).
So, that'd be it. Sorry if there were any grammar mistakes, I haven't used english for a while. So greetings from Poland and may the Force be with you
