Lizzy in London. 30. Fangirl. Sherlockian. Geek. Compulsive overthinker. I work in publishing, sing in a choir, and this is my blog full of things that amuse and entertain me. My blog has been taken over by Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman being awesome, along with Ben Whishaw, Andrew Scott, Mark Gatiss et al. There will be flailing.
See About for miscellanious trivia.
Am home, have eaten, and nowt else to do and it’s only 7.55pm. For the first time this week, my time is my own. Party!*

Oh I’m having really bad Warcraft yearnings right now. But there just aren’t enough hours in the day, nor do I have a decent set-up on which to play. I’m just going to be over here and read my epic A Paladin’s Guide To Karazhan. It’s my masterpiece.
Oh, for the the days when Dutch teenagers yelled ‘Heal Me, Ky!’ at me over Vent.
Still looking for a new holder for my Oyster card. My favourite candidate so far is this one from the BFI featuring Hitchcock and the quote:
Drama is life with the dull bits cut out
Things that I wish would happen: Historical movies that wouldn’t romanticize the past.
Like this?

I just realised that last post looks as if my reaction to series 2 of Sherlock being shown on BBC1 is to shout out the name of Harry Potter’s owl. Which it is. But for reasons.
*NEWS* We can confirm that #Sherlock series 2 will be repeated on BBC One, starting with A Scandal in Belgravia on Friday 5th July.

i didn’t choose the anti-social life, the anti-social life chose me
“I tend to discourage people from calling me ‘Sir Ian,’ because I don’t like being separated out from the rest of the population. Of course, it can be useful if you’re writing an official letter, like trying to get a visa or something passed through Parliament. They’re impressed by these things.”
Ian McKellen
Sometimes time folds in on itself. A picture, a word, a passing scent can trigger a visit to the graveyard of the past. This week, for me, those pictures and words are everywhere. Attached to them are so much advice. So much opinion. It makes me feel strange inside and I want to say, ‘You know what, just shhh. You’re not helping. You’re making her ground more unsteady’.
That thought in turn makes me wonder if all these years on a small part of me still doesn’t always know where to put my feet.
One night when I was 19, at maybe three in the morning, he wrote ‘I love you’ on an empty wine bottle and waited for me to notice it. And there it began. Boy kisses girl. I was wild and free and loved to laugh and dance and stay up all night. He was wild and talented and clever and funny. He was charismatic. He was also put together wrong.
Over the next 18 months he would slowly deconstruct me.

We live in a world where Tom Hiddleston and Colin Mochrie fanboy at each other.
You have to understand how fucking beautiful that is.
I cry about this every now and then.
