I've said it somewhere before... we need a Sherlockian-Dating-site :-) :-)

What do you mean, nakahara, by exploding before it could be posted?

I´m reffering to a last year´s "Secret Santa". It was the first time I joined the exchange of fictions and I enjoyed it immensely until Christmas... and then I was left without a fic and only received one through the kindness of another member, Dorothy, a month after the exchange ended...

And it´s like that every time I really enjoy something. It gets screwed up like this at the end...

So I´m really hesitant to join... what guarantee is there that such things won´t be repeated?
 

 
nakahara, let me put it like this: it didn't get screwed up, I did screw it up. Big time.
I learned my lesson, and I promise I will not participate in a fic exchange anytime soon again (if ever). I'm terribly sorry you got the feeling that it's always you who misses out, and it makes me twice as sorry. (no big help, I know, but still true.)
I'm sure everyone out there is more reliable than me, so please, please don' t let this bad experience keep you from taking part!!
sorry for speaking up like this here, but I feel responsible for your hesitance and I don't want you to miss out because of my messing up

edit: just saw you are taking part. I'm glad.

My first thought was: isn't the most possible scenario that the german media picks up hot topics from british media? I'm not entirely sure they came to this conclusion on their own, although it's of course possible. But if I had to write an article about something, I'd do research first. And would probably think: wow, that's a hot topic, I'll comment on it.

edit: If I think about it like that, maybe it's really difficult by now to find un-biased opinion on Johnlock. Still, I've got friends who haven't got a clue about Sherlock, watched the show and came out on both sides: one claimed there was definitely something going on between John and Sherlock, other one was totally surprised by this idea.
I wish I could go back and watch it all again for the first time :-) (not only for this reason :D )
 

I don't know what a blender is, so for all of my knowledge, it could be the same :D
What is a blender?

I haven't seen many interviews with Trump, just read them. Now I'm watching and I cannot believe how he talks so confidently and says nothing with it. He throws around big words, uses superlatives, and compliments anyone he has need of, but  dismisses anything he's not interested in. It's scary. It's like he just laughs critics away, and keeps afloat on his cloud of selfconfidence... why does this work? He doesn't even proove anything, he just says it and then it must be true... and it works?
(That reminds me of Sherlock's Magnusson. Except Trump is all smiles while he is doing it.)

Actually, what exactly does he mean with "making America great again"?
What's his idea of that?


@tonnaree: travelling is always a good choice ;-) you're welcome

Thanks Ivy for the video!

I was aware that he was around and, like many others, thought he was just a joke. When he got all that media attention and people actually started voting for him, I couldn't believe it.
The americans I know would never support s.o. like him, and I just wonder who these people are, or more like: what do they hope for? What agenda can they have? Are they desperate? Fed up? Are they just like him? Don't they know any better? What is in it for them?
Until now I was convinced they were a minority and in the end the sensible voices would win. Now I'm not sure anymore. We are deeply worried about it here, like Susi said already.

I remember what it was like when Bush was president. I never felt save. It was always like: please, don't do anything stupid, you've got far too much power for that. I know I'm more relaxed since Obama. It's not about agreeing with all things he does, but at least he doesn't seem like he would start a war over breakfast. I could imagine Trump doing just that.

Totally not my day. I booked sth and messed up a detail and now I probably have to pay money (quite a bit) to change it. I feel like hitting my head against the wall for an hour or so. Or better, days. Feeling so stupid. Stupid stupid stupid -.- For nothing!
 I don't know how to not be upset, because it's absolutely my fault and I'm very bad at forgiving myself and say "shit happens". Please tell me you also already made stupid, unnecessary mistakes that cost you money. Because right now, I feel no one could be as stupid. I'd win a prize if there was a competition

"God Sherlock, she really was going to shoot us!"
"Well, John, undressing always does the trick. Got me out of many tight spots."
"But Sherlock, she's in shock now."
"Yeah who cares. Give her a blanket and then we can elope."
