Does the happy dance resemble jumping up and down with clenched fists saying "Yes! Yes! Yes! " ?

*squeeeing and dancing with you over the pillow thing--- yayyy!*

I had to tell you, I love your Sherlock icon, that little grudgingly admiring grin he gave Moriarty in that scene at Kitty's flat in TRF.

Yes yes! Definitely one of my faves)
I've changed it now though ;) The "I'm so angry my nose is twitching" from the cab. Really, I thought I was the only one who did that :D

Only the most delicious of things. It's a pie crust topped with banana, homemade toffee, fresh whipped cream and chocolate shavings. I made my very first one about 3 weeks ago. )

And about a week after that, I found out it's Ben's favourite. Which of course makes it tons better ) *cackles like a crazy fangirl*

… I put some allusions to Sherlock into the book I'm writing and which actually has nothing whatsoever to do with Sherlock Holmes .

Is it working?

It is here, me and mine are going to have a game this weekend - get out one of the disks, award or forfeit points or shots drinking system making it easy for my partner to score points, but more difficult for me.

You're obsessed when you decide you want a violin for your birthday.

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

After watching TRF with my mom, she put her shoes back on, on the wrong foot!!

*smile* And you know you'll be able to play it as well as Sherlock can, when he's impatient and pissed off about something and just starts scraunching away on the thing, as he did when he was trying to drive Mycroft out of the flat that time. *still smiling* I don't know that you need a Stradivarius for that, but hey.... whatever.

Actually, I think you know you're obsessed with Sherlock when you decide you want a skull for your birthday.

I want a John for my birthday. Too bad, so sad, I don't think blowing out that birthday candle is gonna happen.

Isn't it? I think so--- front and center on the living room mantel, in that scene in TRF where Sherlock is going on about the deerstalker hat, was it a death frisbee, "It's an ear hat, John!" I looked at the shadow box as closely as I could, and I clearly saw a black bat in the center, with what looked like several horrible black beetles or hissing cockroaches or some damned thing all around it, stuck there under glass. Talk about macabre.

LOL, that would make a great fan fic-- if John and Sher became a couple, and finally John screwed up the courage to tell Sherlock how much he HATED that stupid bat and beetle thing, hated looking at it, and couldn't they throw it out? heh

You know your obsessed with Sherlock when you...

Travel to St Bart's hospital and write ' I believe in Sherlock' on the wall.

I actually did this! I was visiting family in London, and then a brainwave hit me, "holy crap! St Barts hospital is in london"
and after getting lost in a maze of tube lines, I finally made it... I actually cried a bit, when I saw it
there were so many other notes written there, it was unbelievable... someone had written a poem titled 'Brave Sherlock' and loads of people had written proposals to Benedict Cumberbatch.

I was getting suspicious glances so I quickly jotted down my message and pegged it. :D :D

When your family sits down to watch a movie, you say "Can I pick it?" and they all scream "NOOOOO!" because they know what you're going to pick and they're 100% sick of it.
