Sheepishly felt the same here! That's kind of awesome! Glad better, though!

….You know you're obsessed when you see connections between your favorites everywhere. Such as when watched one of the episodes in the last (and final ) season of Leverage, an awesome show about a group of Robin Hood-esque group of good-bad guys who help the unfortunate, and see something that looks… awfully familiar. Through the seasons, Eliot, the 'hitter' guy, tends to have a slightly tough-guy-casual style, with a bracelet/wristband or two, which have varied. In this particular season, he's often seen wearing a new one…

Doesn't one of those look familiar…? Now I'm wondering if there's any particular meaning to the style/brand/original source!

Loads of people wear them.
Benedict said it was given to him by a 'friend' for good luck(rolls eyes and sighs).
I love the bracelets actually.

Of course. Vice versa! Just couldn't help be curious of the popularity/source/style when you see a particular item trending.

you know you're obsessed when you play cludeo, and you spend an hour trying to tell the family that the victim was the one who did it

Do you have the BBC Sherlock Cluedo?
It's fab.

Oh, I fully understand, gently! I bought both cds and have them on my pc, my laptop, my iPod and my mobile. ;-)

.......you have problems with you WLan and all you think is: OMG, hopefully it will work on Jan 1.

I only have it on my Ipod but there it is played again and again and again while I'm travelling with public transport and reading 'Stuart - A life backwards'.

... you hope that there aren't heavy rain or even snow on the 1st, 5th and 12th of January because that could infuence the satellite reception of the MOST IMPORTANT CHANNEL

When you have to make a new, seperate Amazon Wishlist just for your Sherlock/Benedict/Martin stuff.

When you spend more time speculating on the contents of the Christmas mini-episode than that box your husband got you.

Haha!
..... when hubby says: "Your present will arrive AFTER Christmas, I'm sorry!" and you think: "So what? Everything good will happen AFTER Christmas this year!" ;-)
(Okay, except the mini-episode....)
And you think that it is probably late because it's from the UK, so it will be just perfect. :-P

...when you are on an interactive website that behaves like John's chip-and-pin machine. It sat there and you shout abuse.

... when you spend your Christmas holidays on this forum.

you realise that you identify with Sherlock most of the time, that you can easily relate to John and that you will possibly end up unexpectedly made being Moriarty.
In a way they are truely connected in our minds, aren't they?

You begin making deductions about people.
You buy a gun, spray paint a yellow smiley face on your wall, shoot it and shout "BORED!"

You can't sleep because Sherlock and John are always on your mind.

saraothman · December 31, 2013 2:17 pm

You get two cats and name them Sherlock and Watson. Watson is a 4 year old female calico, and Sherlock is 6 month old male orange and white tabby cat.

I actually would like to do that, only I would call mine Sherlock and Mycroft. Only thing is, I only adopt female cats, and the one I have right now is almost 16 and wouldn't put up with kittens or another cat just now, so I have no new cats in my near future, especially males. Sigh. Great idea, though.
