I have not put a time zone because I don't get how it works its kind of confusing

Ellen5000 · May 16, 2012 8:56 pm

Oh When your computer hard drive is full of random photos which you saw maybe from twitter or something

Ellen5000, I'm from the UK as well. do you know what I should put as my Time zone because the time on here is wrong for me, it's an hour behind...

everyone-- abt time zones---Mine is usually PST GMT -08. when my clock went forward, I reset my time zone to be at GMT -07. So---when your clocks go forward, go to your profile and change the time zomne in there to ONE LESS than your usual. and when the clocks go BACK, then put it to the normal time, which would be ONE MORE than you set it at. hope this helps.

Sorted!

Back to the topic (sorry)!
I felt really dizzy at around 6 and couldn't work out why, It was only when I got back from my friends house that I realised: I hadn't been on this forum for 10 hours! I must be getting withdrawal symptoms (and I thought you could avoid drugs by not going out, scary...)

When you search who you are following on Twitter specifically for references to Sherlock or anyone associated with it and the post links here!

..when every sad song suddenly is about Reichenbach.

Argh, sorry, that was such a buzzkill. Then some not-so-depressive ones:
...when you handle every umbrella like Mycroft does.
...when you suddenly notice so much more of the world around you because you have become more observant due to Sherlock.
...when "Minecraft" is just Mycroft.
...when EVERY scene in Sherlock is just "Ahh, great scene! Great scene!" and when watching it with people who watch it for the first time you just go "shhh" and "look!" all the time because you don't want them to miss anything that is the greatness of Sherlock.
...when you just squeak when you stumble across something about Sherlock without having looked for it.

So. Yeah. ^^

...When you're watching episodes of Sherlock with someone else for the first time, you annoy the hell out of them by saying every line out loud either before it's been said on screen or whilst it's being said.

... when you are having a break at work and you start your conversation with "Sherlock said..."

Sherlock Holmes · May 19, 2012 9:59 am

When you meet someone for the first time you start off the conversation by saying, "So...have you seen Sherlock?"

I have found myself saying that everything is boring. Nice to know I'm not the only one!

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

You'd rather watch HIM than do your housework.

You email ppl and tell them you're BORED.

When you start humming the Sherlock theme tune everywhere you go,
When you buy a skull to put on your mantelpiece,
When you try observe everyone you meet like Sherlock,
When you convince your dad to buy you a Deerstalker

You SO should!!!

They played this game on the French forum too but I was loath to contribute because I didn't know how to say "You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when you clasp your hands the same way he does to think." I gave it a valiant try but they still corrected my grammar. Mercilessly.

So, anyways, that's my contribution.

I saw some dude give another guy a huge wad of cash and I couldn't help but attempt to deduce them both... to no avail, sadly

...you have a tough go at not thinking people stupid who don't "see" everything you see in life.

Every time someone says "moriarty" you yell "WHERE!"

There's a town near where I live called "Moriarty". I've had multiple field days with that. The best was when I pushed myself harder at a track meet because "I just...have...to beat...Moriarty!"

My English final exam looked something like this:

Use each of these words in a sentence.
Acquiesce: Dr. Watson acquiesced to leave Sherlock in The Final Problem.
Haggard: Dr. Watson remarked that Sherlock looked haggard in the Empty House.
Esoteric: Many Sherlock Holmes references prove themselves esoteric to those interested in the canon.
and so on...
