^Brilliant!

When you have 'Sherlocked' and 'The Woman' on repeat while listening to your iPod nightly, daily, what have you, much to the dismay of your partner who would very much like to have a bedtime conversation. Silly, partner. Doesn't he know that I have to get my daily fix?

When you have written a complete analysis on the relationship between Sherlock and Irene and wish to share it with friends who say they love show, only to watch the look of indifference appear on their faces, while they utter what a weird, obsessive nerd I am. -sigh-

I swear I'm not obsessed with Sherlock and Irene. I swear!

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when you check the forum several times in a day and that you're reading every kind of fanfictions (well, I read a damn brillant Smauglock fig yesterday) during your sparetime.

When you are in a crowded room or in a busy street and you randomly shout "VATICAN CAMEOS" and then enjoy the fun at spotting the Sherlock fans and the confusion of the non fans thinking *what a totally random thing to shout in the street* You know the Sherlockians as they will all duck down lol.

^xD totally something I would do!

When you go on an event page on Facebook for a party your friends are having and someone asked for ideas for games and your best friend, who you've turned into a bit of Sherlockian suggests "That game where you write a celebrity name on a piece of paper and stick it on your forehead". And your first thought is "Someone's been watching TSo3 a few too many times..."... and then you get all sad you can't go to the party after all because you would love the chance to go "I'm you, aren't I??"

Phantom - Oo, ooh! Or to get to play that 'rapid fire' version of an 'impression' of someone you're given, like we've heard Ben and Martin like to play (and seen them show in interviews)

... you're buying winegum in a candy store and can't resist to also buy a jelly eyeball just for the sake of reenacting that one scene in that one episode.

I think it'll have to become a permanent fixture in my kitchen.

^ So adorable. lol

This Is The Phantom Lady · March 30, 2014 3:21 pm

Russell · March 30, 2014 11:11 pm

Love it! (Eee… you even have the cup!)

When you sit yourself down with your water colours and before you know it, you're painting Sherlock.

Love the eyeball! (The coffee looks pretty inviting, too!)
Phantom, don't forget to show us the finished result

This Is The Phantom Lady · March 31, 2014 8:16 am

I posted it in the fan art section... but I may do some more work on it sometime, plus I've never really painted people before...

He looks a bit like a crow though.

It was a bit funny though... I just dipped my brush, and before I knew it I was asking myself "Wait... isn't that? Oh!"

I had it made. http://www.sued.aldifotos.de/panoramatasse/ Though I must admit I'm not totally happy with it. The green came out too dark, and even though the logo is actually round, the curve of the mug makes it appear more oval that round. Lessons learned, just in case I wanna do something like that again.

Tinks · March 31, 2014 2:58 pm

Aw, Teejay, I'm sorry!! The silly thing is, that's how I take my Tea, too - most people seem to have it really milky though!
The cup is fab

This Is The Phantom Lady · March 31, 2014 3:00 pm

I love the cup too! I'd love one like it!

Mrs.Wenceslas · March 31, 2014 6:54 pm

...when you are preparing for your best friend´s wedding, looking at your prepared dress and saying to yourself "into battle"....

This Is The Phantom Lady · March 31, 2014 7:02 pm

Aaw! I think that would be something I could do as well!

Congratulations to your friend, Mrs. Wenceslas!
