If you want to see what Sherlock deduced about this "ugly American" over the 4th of July you can read about "The Great KP Pillow Caper" on the "National Stereotype" thread (post #89); however, since that was a spoof, here's something a little more realistic.

He would take a look at my house and deduce that I live with a messy, absent-minded, classical guitar playing, music professor husband.
He would deduce from all the choral music and solo wedding and funeral music collections I have that I sing.
He would see from my books and CD's that I like detective stories (and detectives!), some Science Fiction and classical music of the Romantic Period up through modern.
He might see from pictures that I've been in a number of amateur plays and that I have a beautiful daughter who luckily doesn't look a thing like me. He might even question her "maternity"
He would see that I am conscientious and kindly animal lover because there's an elderly diabetic cat who needs an insulin shot twice a day - thereby, hampering any chance for real freedom.
From my clothes closet he would see that I have a job in a professional capacity and need to project that image at work; however, he would also see that this job does not pay me all that well because some of these clothes have been hanging around for awhile. He might also deduce from this that I hate to shop. - so very true!

These are very interesting - but please don't call yourself ugly :/ (Like the true neurotic I already warned everyone I was...I would have felt badly if I had gone to bed without saying anything. Now I'll just go to bed feeling silly!)
 

Sherlock would deduce:

That I have Grave's disease and Addison's disease from my daily medications.
That I have two young children, a boy and a girl, from the toys lying all around the house.
That I I am a computer person from my computer being in the living room next to the couch.
That we do a lot of shopping online from the boxes around the house.

I LOVE Jen (and the IT Crowd on the whole)! Between a friend of mine and me it's become something like a ritual when one of us is daydreaming and asked what she's doing, to just dreamily say "shoes...".
This episode is only topped by Jen's floating head, I dissolve into hysterics when I see that...

I watched this episode last night

What Sherlock would deduce about me:

If Sherlock comes into my room he would deduce that I love colours. My whole room is full of them, especially warm colours like orange (colour of my wall). He'd also notice that I read many books (two big shelves filled with lovely books) and that I'm a big fan of movies because I own very much DVDs. From the books and movies he'd conclude that I am a fan of fantasy. Sherlock would also see many posters and photographs on the wall (oh goodness, I'd LOVE to see his face when he sees himself and John several times in the room :D). From my two big drawings over my bed he'd infer that I love drawing and that I'm a fan of Walter Moers' novels. From my laptop he'd see that I am typing a lot, means I am very active in my online life and that I am writing a lot (and if he'd take a look at my laptop, Sherlock would see that I have many, many documents on it → I love writing stories *-*).

And if he takes a look at me he'd see that I don't use make-up (hate that stuff) and that I don't place value on fashion (I am always wearing what I like), also because I have my natural hair and haircolour.

And what he would read on my face expression: "I can't believe he is here …Oh my God ..."

Um...Sherlock would deduce that -

1) I bite my nails terribly so might be an anxious person. But I tend to bite them when I'm bored!
2) That I have no fashion sense whatsoever and don't tend to care about fashion. I like comfy shoes and comfy clothes. Bit like Molly really.
3) If he looked around my house, that I'm obsessed with clocks and time. I especially love antique clocks. He'd also see an obsession with books, keys, and topiary. He'd also see no toys or child photos so deduce that I have no children.
4) He would see that my rooms were neat and tidy...but a little bit dusty too. So I'm neat but not necessarially obsessed with housework!
 

Hm, what would he deduce about me.. probably more than I would like, but as far as I can imagine:

Hands: Ring - married. Nails short, no polish, skin still soaked, traces of detergent and raspberry toothpaste - probably housewive with kids. Might have played the piano for a long time.

Hairstyle: Long, well kept, natural hair color, updo - natural type but still cares for appearances

Purse: Childrens´ drink bottles, blue and red - boy and girl. Wipes - still in the sticky age, probably under 5. Scratched old mobile without internet access - not the tech type. Notebook and pen - obviously likes to sit down and write while out, pensive or creative, overall appearance speaks more for pensive.

Bookshelf: Not many books purchased after 2011 - used to read a lot but does not now. Popular science books on many topics, but no expensive reference books - clever, interested in many things but no in-depth knowledge. Literature mostly fantasy - escapist tendencies. Expensive Japanese character dictionaries, grammar and linguistic books - professional interest in Japanese language.

CD-shelf: Mostly old random CDs - no idea of good music. Some Gothic ones - tends towards melancholy.

Falling to the floor at the sight of me - crush on Sherlock Holmes and gets overexcited about things ​.

He would deduce that:

I am not a very confident person but get to know I will talk the hind legs off a donkey.

I make a good friend but cross my path the wrong way and I will turn from John Watson to Jim Moriarty.
