Generation of the brain dead.

Lately I have been questioning the sanity of everyone around me, myself included sometimes. When you sit at the back of a classroom and don't make a sound, you hear every conversation happening in the room at that moment in time. In art yesterday there was a bunch of girls who constantly talked about who'd lost their virginity and what make up they were wearing. One even thought OCD meant Obsessive Cleaning Disorder. The same problem occurred today in Chemistry as everyone around me was talking and I couldn't hear a thing the teacher was saying. He was giving instructions and rules regarding our ISAs and demonstrating how to do the experiment safely, and I didn't catch a word of it. I'm silently screaming inside. I'm sorry for venting my anger on here, but all of the girls I mentioned have me on facebook, and 140 characters on twitter is not enough. At times like these I'm glad I don't have bright orange skin, skirts that look like belts, fake friends and the problem of deciding which party to go to. I'd rather spend my weekends and nights sat alone reading. Social interaction is hard when all your friends are in a different form.

I created my Sherlock outfit today! To encourage the younger generation to read books, we have to dress up as a fictional character and, well, no prizes for guessing who I'm going as. My outfit looks more like the modern day Sherlock, so I'm cheating a little but shh! I was originally going to be John, but my Sherlock had other arrangements and plans.
I get to talk to my dear friend Mr Skull (suggested by my lovely new follower) tomorrow in art while I draw him for around the 50th time this year. The mind palace is going great, and deductions will resume tomorrow.

War Horse

The first challenge of the day was trying to find a cinema that was still showing War Horse. I did find one, but it was a train ride away. The film was excellent, which made up for the long journey there and back. I have to admit; I cried. A lot. When I was 6 I started horse riding and continued the sport for 5 years until I moved up to high school, so I guess that's why I cried so much. I always seem to have an emotional connection with horses in films, and basically every other fictional character out there. When I left the cinema, a man was stood with his wife in the corner and was trying to convince her that one of the generals was the modern day Sherlock Holmes.
 I had my " I am SHER locked" t shirt and Harry Potter scarf on, so I received a lot of strange looks in the foyer.

Deductions

I finally did my first deduction today! I finally got around to trying a deduction on the bus this morning as the bus driver got lost and took the longer route, and I was bored. 

A woman around 19/20 got on the bus and stood opposite me against one of the poles. She had long pink nails, a pink iPhone case, pink lipstick and a pink bag. I made the obvious assumption that she likes the colour pink. I also 'deduced' that she had a small white dog, possibly a terrier or chihuahua of some sort, as her black coat was covered in small white hair on the lap/chest area, suggesting the dog is small enough to be carried around.  She was presumably staying over somewhere, as she also had a large black checked bag as well as the pink one. Her Westwood bag and earrings and Ugg boots suggested she has a love for designer items and enjoys being 'fashionable'. 

So yeah- all that was discovered on the bus without making eye contact with her or being obvious. I was pretty pleased with myself for being observant for once in my life. Whether the ideas are true or not is a different story, but I have statistics course work that needs completing, and the buisness conference and trip to Italy won't help as they mean I'll be 5 hours behind. Great. Bye for now...

My Sherlock t shirt has arrived! This has actually brightened my day a whole lot. I don't know really, I guess it's the weather that's bringing me down because I haven't been well and slightly depressed. I wouldn't say I have Seasonal Affective Disorder but my moods definitely reflect the season and weather.
Anyway, seeing the parcel has improved what has been a bad day. Tonight's plans consist of making myself a hot chocolate and watching Sherlock. Thankfully, my course work pile has practically disappeared now.

Day one of "Operation Mind Palace"

Honestly, this isn't actually day one. The idea formed 2 weeks ago. However, today will be the first day that I actually put the effort into creating my mind palace.
It is based on the interior of 221B, and has 3 areas; the kitchen, living room and the front door/stair case. I'm not entirely sure on the idea of having music playing because I can't really find a suitable song that won't distract me. Any suggestions?

I guess I really have taken one giant leap towards being classed as a high-functioning sociopath...

Anyway, goodnight my 2 lovely followers! Not that I'll be able to sleep with the amount of coffee in my system but oh well... 




I thought the gif had a relative aspect to my current situation, and unfortunately I have to be out of the house at 7 tomorrow. So much for holiday lie-ins.

Sea Wall

Sat drinking lukewarm coffee and staring at the amazingly talented Andrew Scott on a computer screen may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it certainly is mine. Seriously, this man is quite literally amazing. Every performance he gives is breath-taking and extremely moving. His talent is shown in Sea Wall (2012) where he plays Alex. It really connects with you deep inside, and a few hours later after watching the film, everything sinks in and you get all the emotions he intended to deliver. Brilliant acting, brilliant script, brilliant film. I only rented it before, so it looks like I'm going to have to download it. The personal message from Andrew on tumblr goes to show how appreciative he is of his fans and how sweet he is. He is an inspiration. 

Today in a brief sentence: The day I screamed at the laptop, almost cried, spent all day listening to Muse and reading in the dark, and actually ventured outside.
Over the week I have been creating a Sherlock video with clips of John and Sherlock in it, showing flashbacks of their friendship before the events in Reichenbach Fall. All was going well until someone (me.) decided to move the gifs to a folder and delete the second copy. My ancient version of Windows Movie Maker got confused and deleted all my clips on the video. I had an emotional break down because I was tired and stressed and in a rush. But thankfully, after going out for lunch and spending time in the fresh air, I fixed the problem and can continue. I think I have just over 2 more minutes left of the backing song (The Fray's How To Save A Life) so hopefully it will be done by the end of the week.
Today I became interested in the idea of cosplaying the Sherlock characters. I know; I must seem mentally unstable in these posts. So far, I have no clothes that resemble any character what so ever.

My friend let me use her badge making machine today...

They have arrived!

My Sherlock Holmes books came this morning, much to my delight, which freaked out my friend. I don't think she's ever seen me in such a good mood at 9 in the morning. I finally have something to read that I will find interesting. I need to finish "The Silent Sleep of the Dying" and "Chemistry of Death" first though, but they aren't that intriguing.

Unfortunately, there has been no more snow. Looks like the sledge we bought is going to be unused this year.

My day so far has consisted of me sitting in my bedroom listening to Muse B-sides and reading. My life must seem so interesting to other people..

Andy

As part of our DT coursework we had to make an "UglyDoll". This is Andy.. I don't know the exact reason behind this post, but I didn't know what else to talk about, and he was sat staring at me on my bed next to the laptop.

I really dislike the dentist. I had to have 2 x rays and I'm not allowed to eat for an hour. Next time, I'll try not to arrange the appointment around noon next time...

My valentines day will consist of watching Sherlock, CSI and The Office. And yes, Eric Szmanda, Andrew Scott, Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch are my valentines for the day ;D

It looks like my pile of course work is gradually building up, with a goal of erasing all plans of mine for the holidays. I've recently started writing fanfiction and I must admit- it's pretty addicting. The library's closed today, which means I'll have to survive one more day with nothing to read. My "Believe In Sherlock" poster is almost done, and that will be going up on the notice board in the reception. Random updates, but my mind's blank at this moment in time.

There was a disappointing lack of Dead Bodies DVDs in town today. I asked someone who worked in HMV if they had it in stock, and after 3 attempts of trying to understand what I meant by "Do you have Dead Bodies in stock?", he checked, which was very kind of him. I must admit, it has a very strange title..
I cannot cook to save my life, so it looks like a take away pizza is on the cards for tonight. And I will watch all 3 Sherlock episodes from season one tonight. Good indicator of how non-existent my social life is.

I feel sorry for the unlucky person who will have to share a dorm/flat with me in the future.

Friday!

I'm considering breaking out into the Rebecca Black song, despite the fact that I have never listened to that disgrace to music all the way through before. I also cannot sing to save my life.

I think I'll go into town tomorrow as I need to go shopping. Should be interesting based on the fact that I barely have any money as I bought a Sherlock t shirt and book set (which still haven't come yet). I need to find Dead Bodies. No, not actual dead bodies- the film that has the insanely amazing Andrew Scott in it. It's in stock in CEX for 50p. Only problem: its in Camden. I highly doubt I'll be able to go on a 2 hour train journey to get a DVD. 

Today I realised how many Sherlock and Moriarty quotes I actually say. They seem to fit in with conversations nicely and provide that extra Sherlock-related twist to the day. The problem is only one of my friends understands what I'm saying and can join in. We basically cause confusion and create the image that we're crazy, and if you asked my neighbour, she'd probably say I am.

Living in a freezer.

Forget global warming, it is -2 degrees right now. Just as the tiny amount of snow we've had has started to  melt, another 20cm is due tomorrow, Friday, and at the weekend. I love snow really, its just it can be a pain when there's only a quick flurry and nothing settles on the ground. When that's the case, I have no chance of escaping my English teacher.
The heating is horrendous in this house. I usually wake up naturally around 4am and it is freezing, so then I'm awake and shivering for the next 2 hours until my alarm goes off at 6. Because my iPod (And I trust that data. Well, occasionally it's true...) says it will be -4 to -5 degrees tonight, I think it's time to find my hot water bottle.

Hello. If you are still reading my blog, I love you. Really- its an achievement for me to just have one follower with my occasionally odd behaviour.
Today was an improvement compared to yesterday. I finished Girl 4 by Will Carver- it was brilliant. I would recommend it 100% if you like crime and detective novels. Now I need to find something else to read, which is going to be hard due to the fact that I've read almost all the books on the shelf. I really hope my Sherlock Holmes book collection arrives soon.
I've been waiting all day for the pathology programme that starts tonight. I can't remember the name of it or which channel it's on, but it looked interesting. My Mum's friend knows about my interests in things like that and said she could try to get me work experience in the morgue at the hospital she works at. I highly doubt that would be possible, but I'd love to do something like that. Yep, that's what my twisted brain's like.

So long and goodnight.

So, I guess I will leave the internet for tonight and spend the rest of the evening finishing this biology course work and watching Sherlock or CSI. I haven't decided which one yet. Good night x

(And yes I do have Helena stuck in my head..)

Monday blues

Yep, another week of education has begun. The only good thing about today was my art class, and it usually is the same every Monday. 2 of my friends came back from Iceland today. I should be happy that they're back and I'm able to talk to them, but one of them is blanking most of us out completely. I don't want to annoy her (as I can be annoying sometimes, especially when it comes to lunch time discussions) but I want to talk to her. I feel responsible, and I don't even know why. You know that feeling when you feel slightly guilty, and yet you have done nothing wrong? Yeah, that's what today's been like.
So, that is the end of my *ahem*.. cheerful post (hurrah!).

Lack of Sherlock syndrome?

Every Sunday I feel a little lost inside, mainly because I know the weekend is over, but also due to the fact that I have been without a new episode of Sherlock for over 4 weeks now. I am not too fussed if I get called 'pathetic' for saying this- really, it is my own opinion on the matter. Anyway, most Sundays are now spent sat in my room watching season 1 (I haven't ordered the second series yet, unfortunately) and my recording of The Reichenbach Fall on Sky+. Actually, that is what I'm doing right now. So, I was just wondering; is there anyone else out there that is like this?

 (Or is it just my odd ways?)

Hello world! This is my first post just to say I'm new here and just getting to grips with the layout and location of everything. So yeah, thank you for stopping by, and more post will arrive soon!
