I don't like talking about myself much but it was so interesting to read about you all so I'll do it anyway.
I'm not 30 yet but already afraid of it (laugh at me).
I don't have siblings but think it must be great.
I love drinking whisky but chose the name for the little terrier in Hounds.
I'm a student but don't like university at all because of the many people.
My favourite music genre is Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, also scottish folk.
I totally love Scottish country dance and hope my knees will allow me to do it till I fall into my coffin one day.
I don't like temperatures above 25°C, my favourite time of year is fall. My birthday is also in fall, lucky me.
I would like to have a cat.
I'm homesick for the UK although I only lived there for a short time. I adore London and visit as often as I can.
I play the guitar, and I like singing. I would like to play pipes.
I don't like pastel colours, only very bright strong colours.
I love sewing clothes. Tried my first dress, it needs improvement :D
I love decorating and change the look of my room every few months.
My first fandoms were Harry Potter and Star Wars, followed by Lord of the Rings, then I was very bored for a few years until Sherlock happened.
I'm Johnlock-friendly, but generally not a shipper of anything.
I'm a fan of the outlander series by Diana Gabaldon.
I love backpacking and sleeping in my tent. To be outdoors makes me insanely happy.
I sometimes dream in english.
I don't like it when people leave the cinema without watching the credits.
I don't like being single so I wish it would change soon.
I've learned some finnish many years ago, I adore the language, the sound is wonderful.
I love photography and acryl painting.
Until one gets to know me better, I seem to be a very quiet person (which I'm really not).
I don't like landscapes without mountains, woods or the sea (yeah, and guess in what kind of place I live...)
I love theatre.
I don't have a smart phone and don't intend to get one.
I prefer walking to any other way of getting somewhere.
Big cities amaze me.
I don't like the south much, I always travel north, I don't know why.
I'm shy with new people.
I colour my hair because I don't like being blond.
Biscuits are an easy way to convince me to do things.
I love tidying up and my room is never messy but I'm no organized person.
I like tending to plants.
I have been a vegetarian for nearly all my life.
I have a little dragon as cuddly toy which is named after a scottish cave.

What's your dragon's name? The credits at the film thing...I so agree with you on that! Love mountains and forests too but unfortunately live in quite a flat area.

My little dragon is called Smoo :-) The cave is in the north, close to Cape Wrath.

I just don't understand why people don't want to acknowledge the peope who brought a film to them. They just enjoy the film, and don't care about the effort in making it, and the people putting so much time and work into it. I don't want to offend anyone, but to me it feels ignorant. Also they will never discover the little extras hidden in the credits :-) I love films which have little extras in the credits, or that have beautiful and artistic credits (e.g. Harry Potter).

Apparently one of my co-workers doesn't trust me because she found out that the table that holds my TV is decorated with a skull, Hello Kitty figurines, a 'weird blue box thing' and a 'weird looking pen' and a magnifyer... 

Sums me up pretty well... 

 
I love the fun little credit 'treats' some movies are known to do!  I went with my mom to several Marvel films, and each time she was giving a glance like 'aren't we leaving?'.  Uh, no.  End credits!  (and then sometimes feel silly because the scene would make no sense to someone not a fan or familiar). 

Hee… and they're wary of you now?  I would see all that stuff together and instantly think 'Oooo!  Whose is this?!?' 

Hey All. A nice platform for us to know each other!

Harshal Shetty, from India. Friends address me as "Shal".
I turned 20 on 09.04.2015.
Recently completed the three Sherlock seasons, so highly "Benedicted"
I love Painting and reading! Oh, Books are everything for me!
Not a huge collection though, just 55 of them!
I am a less socialising person, and do not have many friends! (But I believe in the relation with these lesser friends and not in their number)
I can't talk much about myself, like, you know, the good qualities in me, but I am a bit sensitive! I know that!

Hope to have an amazing discussion with everyone, and know each other well!!

We ought to know each other, as this is a group with a common factor of Love for Sherlock!!!    
 

Kornmuhme, happy to see another theologian here ;)  *wave* The dancing sounds interesting, I had to search for it to get an idea Cool!

@Shal: what kind of painting do you do? I love painting

Welcome, JP and have good fun.

Well, I’m a member of this forum for quite some time now, but I just thought I could try this out…

I work for an IT-company and am responsible for the project management office there.
I got married last year but Hubby and I are in a relationship for almost 15 years now.
I love going to music festivals and usual visit at least one every year.

I have two wonderful Birman cats named Leila and Balu.
My first fandom, I was really devoted to was Star Trek.
I was born and raised in a small town, but I prefer living in a metropolis.
I quitted smoking four years ago.
I like the sea and don't like the mountains – well, I don't like going uphill.
I like summer and detest winter.
I‘m a crisps addict - a can ration a bar of chocolate, but no chance with a bag of crisps.
My favourite (non-alcoholic) drinks are sparkling water and coke light, my favourite (alcoholic) drinks are beer and Gin Tonic.
I’m not very tidy - my desk (at home and at work) usually looks like a bomb had gone off.

I have short brown hair.
When I was a child I almost never wore skirts or dresses. Today I almost always wear those
I don't have many close friends but those few mean a lot to me.
I’m not a people person, I hate small talk and feel very uncomfortable in a group of people I don't know.
I hate injustice and prejudices and I see myself as a pacifist.

Oh dear, do you need to give a rant, perhaps over there? 

Oh my, I'm sorry to hear that ... all I can do right now is offer you a cuppa, and send good wishes.
