here’s my recipe for a Sherlock Holmes inspired cocktail
- 3/4 vodka
- 1/4 tears
serve with a side of angsty fanfiction
brb, rewatching Reichenbach so I can have enough tears for how much vodka I want…
January 2012
Hey tumblr! Is this an acceptable medium to tell you that I had a nice day?
“Swearing is a really important part of one’s life. It would be impossible to imagine going through life without swearing and without enjoying swearing… There used to be mad, silly, prissy people who used to say swearing was a sign of a poor vocabulary -such utter nonsense. The people I know who swear the most tend to have the widest vocabularies and the kind of person who says swearing is a sign of a poor vocabulary usually have a pretty poor vocabulary themselves… The sort of twee person who thinks swearing is in any way a sign of a lack of education or a lack of verbal interest or -is just a fucking lunatic… I haven’t met anybody who’s truly shocked at swearing, really, they’re only shocked on behalf of other people. Well, you know, that’s preposterous… or they say ‘it’s not necessary’. As if that should stop one doing it! It’s not necessary to have coloured socks, it’s not necessary for this cushion to be here, but is anyone going to write in and say ‘I was shocked to see that cushion there, it really wasn’t necessary’? No, things not being necessary is what makes life interesting -the little extras in life.”
—Stephen Fry
“I’m not going to kill you. I am going to torture you a bit…”
—Econometrics professor on the first day of class
- Sherlock fandom: Sherlock, I'll jump with you!
- *twitter alert*
- Moffat & Gatiss: Of course there'll be a third series!
- Sherlock fandom: Sorry, wrong day to die.
- Sherlock fandom: If you have what you say you have, we'll make you rich(er). If you don't, we'll make you into shoes.
Sorry to all my followers who are not Sherlock fans, this is just me in mourning. It will pass.
No, it will not.
Yeah, it won’t. Until Sherlock comes back. So in a few years?
I joined twitter. But I don’t really know what to do with it. Other than follow famous snarky British people. Help me out, guys?
“
I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.
I love you only because it’s you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.
Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel
Ray, stealing my key to true calm.
In this part of the story I am the one who
Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood.
why i'd never get work done at school if my cat lived with me there:
- cat: is this seat taken?
- me: uh, yes, actually, i'm sitting here. as you see.
- cat: lol. i'm going to sit here then.
- me: um, okay, i'll move the laptop off my lap to the edge of the sofa.
- cat: lol. actually, i will lay on your arms.
- me: i'm trying to type.
- cat: lol. i'm comfortable.
- me: but i'm typing...
- cat: okay, i'll move to your hands and the keyboard. laptops are warm!
- me: uh, cat, i'm trying to type
- cat: lol, no problem. i'm comfortable.
- me: but...
- cat: purrrrrrrr
- me:
