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

Well I actually listened to it on Deezer for many days now, but as it is just streaming... I bought it with Amazon AutoRip. Would have bought it from uk but AutoRip is only eligible for delivering in the same country as ordered...

Well the interesting thing about it might be, that I had the same ringtone for more than 5 years ^^.

A Good luck kitty (Blind Banker)
A Skull (Study in Pink)
Everything's burning (the Great Game) 

Yeah I'd say that Tattoo definitely is appropo! 
Well done sir! (particularly if you got that just for it's own merits and realized the underlying connections after the fact!

I drew it based on a weird dream I had a long time ago...the Sherlock references just kinda happened to coincide.

I'm not sure where the connection is....but I haven't seen ANY Season 3 yet.

You know you're obsessed...when you think the gay couple you're related to look like Holmes and Watson. (They are scarily the same contrast of physical types as the Holmes and Watson of canon...one is much taller and thinner than the other. They are also big fans of canon...but too purist to watch BBC...and convinced that Holmes is asexual.)

It never seems to be the gay men who are slashers...it's the women who like Brett, Cumberbatch, etc.

Well... you will see then.

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

1. When you buy a violin with the intent of playing it poorly.
2. When you wouldn't mind living with strange men in unkempt rooms
3. When you name your child or pet Mycroft
4. When you're nice to the homeless in London because they could be members of the Baker Street Irregulars
5. When you read or write fan fiction and actually enjoy it.

He he, just spotted a man with a "Jesus lives" sign. And in my mind I crossed Jesus and wrote Sherlock over it.

"He is Risen" is almost worse for this.

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

Though at least Sherlock did rise...but then he'd never been dead in the first place...hmmm.
But then Sherlock did rise a second time!

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

I realised I was pretty obsessed when it was the first thing I thought of in the morning, and the last thing I thought of at night (after HLV).

I have also planned a day trip to London just to go to Speedy's/221b!

Oops

I don't so much see this as a sign of obsession as of good taste in literature. Personally I've seen more good literature amongst fanfiction that I have in so called original fiction.

Just knowing it exists explains all.

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

Yeah it is, in fact. I visited the other forums regularly, one even daily but since I'm a member here (mid November last year) I was there 2... 3 times... shortly... not more. The stuff there seems so... boring.

I have 2 other Sherlock forums, but don't bother much with either.

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

When you're not in front of a computer, you make notes on a little pad or sticky-note about thoughts you've had about anything Sherlock-related that you haven't posted yet.

When somebody leaves a message at your office that displays their lack of social skills, and you find it funny and go, "Sounds like Sherlock."

When you think of looking something up as "Sherlock-ing around for it." Or, in the case of legal research, if what you find helps your case/cause and you think of it as "Sherlock-ing" or "out-Sherlock-ing" the other side.
