    Ways you are compatible with Benedict

    Just a bit of fun of games here... Absolutely no seriousness xD



    I'll start with this:

    Ben started as a child playing women in plays... I started out playing men!

    You know, actually I think I'm 0% compatible with Benedict.

    This also, plus we have frequent attacks of dorkness and geekery.

    Re: Ways you are compatible with Benedict

    I have a love for Bowie, Elbow and Stevie Wonder.
    I love running.
    I am also extremely bendy and can do with my hand what he does to his!
    I am a complete geek and can't take a serious photo.
    I draw and love art.
    I have an old tee shirt that I can't get rid of and wear all the time ;)
    I love converse.

    However my acting experience stretches to playing a flowerpot man in middle school. And that's it!!

    Re: Ways you are compatible with Benedict

    Well I got a tibetan dog and he has lived in Tibet for one year, should be enough to talk about, but I guess I will never be lucky enough to do that so...
    I'm still hoping for an answer to my fan letter... but it seems he has quite little time...

    According to cumberbatchweb he doesn't reply to any mail because he is so busy. But the agency assure the website that he gets all gifts and reads all mail.

    Re: Ways you are compatible with Benedict

    It's a shame, but you can imagine if he replied to one, he'd have to reply to everyone and would probably never be able to find time for it all!

    I love books, and Keats and some Shakespeare.
    I'm not sure he'd find me very interesting though!

    I am either totally uncomfortable with attention... or I go nuts and do a silly thing like photobombing U2.

    Not that I've ever met U2

    Well let's see... maybe I am lucky...  May take a while...

    I also got an autograph of Alan Alda, took couple of months... but on the picture which I sent there .

    And with Ben I asked for an answer to a question, not for an autograph...

    Just one word: humour.
    And everything else is probably transport.

    I didn't realise that he is interested in Buddhism. I am too, though I wouldn't call myself a Buddhist.

    Um...don't really know what I've got in common with Ben. We don't really know the real Ben, after all.

    He's a professional actor and I've been a community theater actress.  I think we could build a life together on that...

    I have a new one now!

    Turns out I'm also double jointed... my doctor told me that yesterday after testing most of my joints. And I couldn't help but giggle about it...

    (Funny thing is, while gory horror movies have never bothered me, people bending their joints in weird ways have always freaked me out. And I've been one of them all along! Just never detected)
