Me too! I have quite a few really interesting 'experiments' going on in my fridge as we speak!

Almost all your likes/favourites on Youtube are Sherlock or have something to do with Sherlock.
You can't stop talking or thinking about Sherlock.

You ask people what it's like in their funny little brains.
You declare that quiet, peaceful days are 'hateful'.
You start learning to play the violin.
You ask your brother how the diet is going every time you see him.

Whenever you see a big wheel you think of the Sherlock credits (I was in Manchester yesterday and did exactly that)

Davina · February 22, 2012 10:22 pm

I like that one. What about never feeling quite the same about the London A-Z?

And thinking every piece of graffiti you see is some kind of cipher

Referring to Crescent's post. I find John's walk fascinating. Martin Freeman has done a really good job of giving him a military walk.
I think this is particularly noticeable in the last scene in The Reichenbach Fall when he is talking to Sherlock at the graveside. He finishes by pulling himself to attention, about turning and almost marching away.
Great characterisation!

You look at people's underpants and try to work out whether they're gay
You tell people that you don't eat when you're walking because the digesting interupts your thinking

You have Staying Alive as your ring tone.
You borrow other people's laptops without asking them-ah wait... The kids are always doing this!!

Doesn't mean obsession at all. I quite like the Bee Gees.
Honest!

It's just Night Fever!

When you try to make your family and friends obsessed with Sherlock too...

Davina · February 27, 2012 8:07 pm

When you spend an inordinate amount on time on here!

When you accidentally sign SH on a text message to your mother...damn, can't believe I actually DID that, she thought I was telling her to shut up - as in SHH.

Also, when you force yourself to come off the computer because you've been on Sherlock related websites all day, only to find you're doing exactly the same thing but on your mobile phone instead.

Hmm, that sounded funny. Maybe i should start doing that..... Or maybe not XD i think my friends is getting pretty tired about all the Sherlock stuff

Whenever you watch a Sherlock episode you set up a sign on you door saying: "Please don't disturb, Sherlock episode playing"
The word "Reichenbach" is enough to bring you to tears.
When your teacher asks if you can make a list off all your favorite actors and directors, your list looks like this:

Benedict Cumberbatch
Martin Freeman
Una stubbs
Mark Gatiss
Steven moffat
Andrew scott
Louise Brealey
Ruper Graves
