off topic to tonnaree: do not be ashamed. I think the same amount of idiots can be found in every single country. I´m really upset when anybody´s saying Americans are stupid. hate this generalizing thing.

*sigh* It just seems the idiots get more press*

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when everytime your hubby kisses you you say "but am I a pretty lady"? *giggle*

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when you have been ordered to stop talking about it.

I can't even say the word "Sherlock" around my mother without her glaring at me like "Don't you dare"

There was sth about first aid on tv and they were telling how to do a cardic massage... They said it has to be in the rythm of "Staying Alive"... well I think you know, what I had in mind...

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when you're in a meeting at the office about safety and procedures and someone brings up using a code word for danger if they're being held at gunpoint and your response is "how about vatican cameos?" Yup happened today at work, LOL!

When you see this on the front page of your local newspaper (sorry for repeating from another thread but I just had to!) and you run around the office in front of work colleagues saying "I just need to steal this...."

If this becomes reality then Portmouth will move to the top of my "places I definitely need to visit" list.

My real house number is, sadly, 245.

Mine is 201. I was looking at it this morning and thinking "soooo close"! Just swap out the 0 for a 2. Hehe.

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when you're planning another trip to the UK and decide to add Cardiff to the list of places to visit. I must see that beautiful library in person. I would live in libraries if I could, lol.

When one of the school kids accidentally writes: ' I lick my Dad and Mum'...and you instantly think he's gonna grow up into CAM!

When you lend someone 'Sherlock' only to not give them season 3. For two reasons: 1: I'm not ready to part with it yet and 2: wanting them to experience some form of hiatus and loss after Reichenbach.

When your ex-boss posts a photo of himself with google glasses on facebook.
And you want to comment with "portable Appledore" and then realize, he propably would not understand, what you mean...

When a little voice inside of you cries "Redbeard!" every time you spot an Irish Setter..

Lily · February 19, 2014 3:46 pm

... you start sqealing in the library because you've spotted a book with the title After the Fall.

When your friend is a bit sad; because you showed her the episode of Doctor Who where her favourite Doctor regenerates... and your first idea is "Hey lets watch TEH, Sherlock should cheer you up!".

Also when you are in pain yourself and you watch Sherlock instead of taking pain killers... and it actually works most of the time!

TeeJay · February 20, 2014 2:39 pm

... whenever you receive an e-mail from your safety manager at work whose last name is Morgan-Sholto, you hear Sherlock's voice in your head, saying, "Major Sholtoooo."

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 try to study but all you read, all you see is about sherlock. And about my test? I leave for later

When a girl next to you asks what you are doing (while you're on here) and you tell her it's a Sherlock fan site... she casually asks you if you think they're making a 3rd movie, and you get confused and say they just showed it... You then find out she's talking about the RDJ movies and you cringe and don't really feel like talking to her again.

When one of your 'old' fave songs remind you of Johnlock... and you really want to write your first Johnlock fic based on it...

At my work there are short versions - 3 letters - of the names of every colleague... It is usually first two letters of firstname + first letter of the last name...
This morning I got an Email with the subject "CAM today not in"... And I did not think of the colleague that was meant by it...
