Your know you ware obsessed with Sherlock when you drive to another supermarket with your 13-year-old son who has prepared some yellow post-its with you know what on it and sticks them on a crisps packet, biscuits, a garden swing, a Coke bottle and the freezer cabinet .

You suddenly shout "Pink!" while looking for your keys in the morning... when you realize they are in the pocket of your pink jacket.

You know you are obsessed with Sherlock if you watch this series every evening until 1am.next day, even if you know that your baby will certainly wake up at 2 am and will stay awake until 5 am

Stupid, so stupid.

... if your husband is hiding away your dvd's

... if you search for youself an archenemy, just to see what it is like ..

... if you write your postings in English, even though your English is really bad.

Oh, I also use post-its and put them on Sherlock-related stuff I find in the city!

I recently walked past a building which said "Holmes place". I was definitely shocked! It seems to be a fitness studio.

...erm, if you try to put a bit of Sherlock into everything.
So, at school I have a subject on forensics and I had a talk and of course I slipped some information about him into it. Or in English class (apparently the only opportunity to speak English) I try to put quotes of Sherlock into everything I say. Or we have this project where we have to write music for a detective story and I was like: "Well, we could look at some Sherlock Holmes music and let ourselves be inspired by that... I mean, it's a detective story after all."

It's not bad! What's your native language? Or maybe you're referring to someone else?

Well, good thing your English is excellent. And good thing you don't have to miss Benedict's voice.

SusiGo · June 19, 2012 7:45 pm

Yes, I'm so glad that there are such things as DVDs. The German version is not bad but it doesn't capture the very special atmosphere and style of the original.

When you see Benedict Cumberbatch in another movie and you yell OMG WHYS SHERLOCK IN THIS MOVIE. AND WHY IS HE IN A BLONDE WIG.

Mum: Why are you doing that.
Me: Because Sherlock Holmes did it.
Mum: If Sherlock Holmes jumped of a building, would-
Me: WHY? WHY? *Sobbing

But isn't that normal behaviour for most kitty cats, not just the Sherlocked ones?

Oh. well, this one never did it before she started living with Sherlock!! Silly tantalus!!

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

You're an american, and you start referring to your mom, as your mum.

You upgrade your television because you are afraid you might miss something while re-watching the series, for the 10th time!

Yeah, I saw him in Miss Marple and was just like 'Huh?' But I suppose he's allowed to do a few other things (as much as we want to, we can't have him all to ourselves!!)

How could she say that to you? How cruel! Mums are so naive.

sherlockskitty · June 20, 2012 4:52 pm

what miss marple show was Benedict in? I love mis marple

tobeornot221b · June 20, 2012 4:55 pm

It was "Murder is easy".

Molly Hooper · June 20, 2012 5:01 pm

I was just wondering, have there been any modern Miss Marple adaptation?

Davina · June 20, 2012 5:23 pm

Oh, I get what you mean Molly. You mean updated to present times? Not that I know of.

Wait. What? Isn't Benedict Cumberbatch one of Sherlock's disguises?

SusiGo · June 20, 2012 7:28 pm

Of course it is. That's why he came up with such an unusual name.
