Ah, that makes sense. Of course, Benedict doesn't actually exist, it all seems so obvious now! ;)

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

you start singing a 'my fair lady' tune and it goes like this

All I want is a flat somewhere,
with a skull on the mantle there,
with Sherlock's FAV'RITE chair,
oh wouldn't it be loverly!!

Sherlock has gone undercover as an actor so that John doesn't suspect he's still alive.

EDIT: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when you hate to remember he's a fictional character....

But he's not, Benedict is. Gosh, get it right!
Ok, I'll stop this now...

When every time you hear a song you think,'Oh, I know how that could fit into a Sherlock episode!'

But when he turns on his tv and suddenly sees Sherlock on screen...
wait, that actually happened in a fanvideo once.

Although it was kind of the other way 'round. John created Sherlock in his imagination.

Not sure what that was, but it gave me chills.

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when you send your son to the post box - and provide him with a "I believe in Sherlock Holmes" post-it. Well, he didn't refuse …

My congrats to you on your excellently educated son, Susi - he seems to have become a willing participant!

He's a bit like your own, personal Homeless Network, except he's not homeless, of course, and there's only one of him!

**Posted by SusiGo** June 21, 2012 8:43 pm

Yes, he's a Sherlock fan and the other day he helped me sticking post-its in the supermarket. Reminds of the Baker Street Irregulars from the canon .

....when you curl your hair with straighteners to try and look more like Sherlock.

(it was a success!)

**Posted by Molly Hooper** June 21, 2012 9:17 pm

Oh, I'm so pleased! I'm too scared of burning myself to try that so I used ragging.
Not exactly the look I was going for but... I will come with practise

**Posted by Davina** June 21, 2012 9:31 pm

Be careful that you don't end up looking like Shirley Temple!

**Posted by Molly Hooper** June 21, 2012 9:39 pm

Awh! She's so sweet!

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
...You would like to quote some phrases from Sherlock in a conversation with your friends or relatives that will be up to the point, but don't do this as they are tired from your being sherlocked and you think that you are boring them))).
...You can stare at your desktop smiling for hours because there is a Sherlock wallpaper.

Jenny, I did almost that during Tinker, Tailor... although I didn't recognize him right away. (I was hooked on the series during season 1, but not so much on Sherlock till season 2.) As I said before, Benedict Cumberbatch is Sherlock's disguise while everyone thinks he's dead.

All he'd have to do is get his hair cut, ditch the great coat and scarf and uni-color suits and shirts, pull a ball cap down over his head, and he could go most anywhere, unrecognized. I know he has that lean, chiseled face, but unless someone knew him really well and then took a good, close look-- without the dark curls and his usual clothing, I think most folks would just take him for some working bloke from down the street. Get him to wear a ball cap, gnaw some gum with his mouth open, wear jeans, a tee shirt, and a hoodie, and walk around with his MP3 player ear buds in, and he could be unrecognizable.... oh, wait a minute. Moriarty already did that.
