LOL
I see some strange things happened recently. 

You know your mind has been done in by Sherlock/online fandom/forum when you're on vacation and you STILL see a bunch of little things that remind you of any of the above!

-Some of us stayed at an awesome little 1800's schoolhouse-turned-guest quarters on the land of the vineyard my step-uncle works for.  I knew the Napa Valley area was famous/popular for it's wine and gorgeous land, but didn't know was world-popular.  In the hand-written guestbook, I found entries from people who put down as being from Brazil, North Korea, Spain, France, and several Londoners.  Of course my immediate thought was 'London!!  I wanna go to Sherlock's city!!'

-Even when at the wedding, a couple times my daydreaming imagination wandered to picturing what Sherlock et. all would be like there, and how he'd be…..  (hey, not an entirely un-logical leap, considering!  )

-You even fancy imagining yourself as Mycroft once, when we all went for a walk the next day, and it had gotten dreary drizzly gray by that point, to take umbrellas with us, and simply -had- to take the one in particular that was like his (long/wooden handle… who cares that it was fuchsia ;P  ) and stroll along using it as a walking stick, just out for an errand somewhere secret with your cronies. 

-Also since it got dreary out, the idea was decided to have fun seeing a movie, at least.  And of course you try to see if anyone will go to Star Trek.  ;)  Unfortunately most people had, and as much as I loved it, kinda agreed on the sentiment on seeing something that none of us had, yet.  At least the flick showed the next Hobbit preview again, and got all excited.  And the theater is one of those huge old types, that does 'classics' on certain nights, and was amusedly fondly reminded of the good old forum yet again when I saw the current one was 'Lawrence of Arabia', which I know some of you loved. 


Ahhh….  it's nice to be back.  Even if you kept trying to kill me with the Ben thread…  ;P  ;)

LOVED reading this. I reminds me I'm not alone as my mind drifts to all things Sherlock at random moments.
 

...when you and your husband's text chat just becomes random Sherlock quotes.

When someone in a complete different show says "sociopath" and you think..... well............

Ba, ha ha ha! This has made my evening, was feeling crappy but you managed to made me grin like a loon. Can just imagine you printing it out pretending to be "working". "Yes, yes, it's a very important document, pretty hush, hush and for a select viewing only." *coughs like John*

PS As I've reached over 80 posts I'm "Lestrade's Aide" and I was just enjoying "The Game is on!". Is there a list of the rank titles? Thanks.

Glad my evil deed can provide you with much needed amusement.

Not to be off topic, but just to briefly let you know.... Yep, there is!  You could just jump over to the 'User List' in the menu near the top.  Gives you a neat idea of how far the general populace has gotten.  Also kinda neat, as far as forums go, that there used to be less than there are now.  Our great creator didn't anticipate the momentum this place got after a while, so there were a ton of people filling up fewer titles, which were:
Wrong!, Homeless Network, The Game Is On, Lestrade's Aide, Cipher Expert, John's Army, Mycroft's Contact, Official Blogger, High Functioning Sociopath (which is reached, obviously, once hit 1895 ;) )    Had a fun thread a while back bringing in a ton more suggestions to spread it out, and it's now as stands:

Wrong!
, Shooting The Wall
, Homeless Network, Not A Hero
, The Game Is On
, Lestrade's Aide
, Cipher Expert
, Adler's Whip, John's Army, Mycroft's Contact, British Government, Consulting Criminal, On The Side Of The Angels, Official Blogger, High Functioning Sociopath, Stayin' Alive.....  and, dun dun, since that's now the current highest one, we don't know if there are any secret ones to find out after that... ;)   Certainly a good one to 'end' on, but I'm still hoping some of the other fun suggestions made it past that, such as One More Miracle, Most Human Human Being or Threatened Knighthood  ;D   Have fun moving up!

Back on topic, it still makes me grin when my (very very senior, slightly forgetful) co-worker once every couple months or so, and again recently, asks me 'So what the heck is going on with Sherlock, again?  I haven't heard anything... isn't it back yet?' and you remind her filming was delayed, then started recently, they're still working on it, and back probably at winter.  Age knows no bounds when converted to something awesome...     

... when you watch the short film 'The Blue Umbrella' and all you can think about is Mycroft.

...you finally made the deduction that it is a good idea to buy the blu-ray because you don't want to miss anything.
...you take Sherlock as an example and see the need to keep track of the latest developments in IT.
...you ask yourself (not seriously) whether you need an iphone to be in tune with Sherlock.
(Sherlock is not into advertisement for Mac/Apple, is he?)

He was using a Mac in the last episode of the second series.  I was disappointed.  Though he was smarter than to use a Mac. XD
