Oh, yes, we shall!

(I mean, this is not exactly Sherlock obsession, but at least Amazing Grace obsession, right? )

Any obsession is a good obsession.

Heard an advertisement on the radio today which started with someone saying "He is BACK!"

... and for a second there, I thought they were actually advertising Sherlock on German radio

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...

You turn up the collar of your coat every time you put it on
You tell people they're seeing but not observing
Your friends/family get upset because they think you're being rude to them, but really you're just trying to talk more like Sherlock
When someone asks you to do something you don't want you say it's not your division

Your turn!

When you stall on paid work in favor of writing a new fic.
When you realized you've dreamed in Lestrade's head-space.

So I ended up in hospital the other day. The ambulance driver kept asking me what my password was on my mobile so he could call my husband. I kept getting really confused and saying I don't have a password. When I was feeling better I finally understood what they meant. My screensaver is this:

OMG, what an interesting story. Horrible that you had to be sick and ride in the back of an ambulance, but the I AM ____LOCKED thing is a kick and a half.

I hope you're better now! Be well.

hope you are better! but good story though - it would be funny if the driver knew the "sher" thing

... when your working sheet for school looks like
#Sherlock lives
#Not Dead
#Guess who's back
#Back Again

@Mary Me
when you wish one of your teachers working sheet for school would look like
#Sherlock lives
#Not Dead
#Guess who's back
#Back Again

Mary Me · December 5, 2013 8:21 pm

Oh yes, but that is a wish that will never come true

FluteLocked · December 5, 2013 9:01 pm

Unfortunately, yes...

Would be nice, though :D

Thanks! I'm all better. Just needed some fluids.
It would have been great if they knew what it was. Always fun to discover fellow Sherlock fans!

Harriet · December 5, 2013 10:39 pm

Glad to hear that! And, your story is very funny

I feel guilty because I had to laugh so hard about this story and someone going to hospital is not quite funny. Therefore: sorry for you & great that you recovered, but the story is hilarious nonetheless :D

Have to say sorry as well. The story is funny but the reason for your hospital stay of course isn't.

Edit:
Just got some written "thoughts" of my boss, hieroglyphics which I should write down into some charts. Yet as I start to decipher his writing I also start thinking about an ancient number system. Hangzhou.

Michele, good that it was nothing serious. Because your story is really funny!
I have the same screensaver AND a password, but not SHER of course! So I just wondered if I would say "SHER" anyway if someone would ask for it in a similar situation.

... you need a much bigger memory card for your smartphone because you HAVE to carry dozen of pictures and film clips of Sherlock (and other stuff of Benedict and Martin) always with you.... because you HAVE to gloat over it always and everywhere... at public transport for example...

...when you automatically think "it's Sherlock?" when you read a newspaper and come across an article where a worried citizen phoned the police because he saw an apparent helpless person in the street standing at a corner in just a bed sheet.

It was not Sherlock, but art.
