I really love Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle’s sense of humor. It reflects in his works in Sherlock Holmes.
August 2011
“I know you, you scoundrel! I have heard of you before. You are Holmes, the meddler.”
My friend smiled.
“Holmes, the busybody!”
His smile broadened.
“Holmes, the Scotland Yard Jack-in-office!”
Holmes chuckled heartily.” —Dr. Grimesby Roylott and Sherlock Holmes, “The Adventure of the Speckled Band.”

“Beware of people who reblog or like your post. Some of them are actually Tumblr porn pages.”

“AN ANOMALY which often struck me in the character of my friend Sherlock Holmes was that, although in his methods of thought he was the neatest and most methodical of mankind, and although also he affected a certain quiet primness of dress, he was none the less in his personal habits one of the most untidy men that ever drove a fellow-lodger to distraction. Not that I am in the least conventional in that respect myself. The roughand- tumble work in Afghanistan, coming on the top of natural Bohemianism of disposition, has made me rather more lax than befits a medical man. But with me there is a limit, and when I find a man who keeps his cigars in the coal-scuttle, his tobacco in the toe end of a Persian slipper, and his unanswered correspondence transfixed by a jack-knife into the very centre of his wooden mantelpiece, then I begin to give myself virtuous airs. I have always held, too, that pistol practice should be distinctly an open-air pastime; and when Holmes, in one of his queer humours, would sit in an armchair with his hair-trigger and a hundred Boxer cartridges and proceed to adorn the opposite wall with a patriotic V. R. done in bullet-pocks, I felt strongly that neither the atmosphere nor the appearance of our room was improved by it. Our chambers were always full of chemicals and of criminal relics which had a way of wandering into unlikely positions, and of turning up in the butter-dish or in even less desirable places.”

THE MUSGRAVE RITUAL
Yap, Holmes can really drive any flatmate crazy.
Question?
- Do you think Sherlock gave John a share of the 20,000 Pounds he got for solving the case in "The Blind Banker"?

Writing a Sherlock Fanfic
I’m in the process right now on writing a BBC Sherlock Fan fiction. And it’s going to be based on one of the original canon short stories. Actually, one of my favorites in the short stories that Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle wrote.
I know, I know. I’m not finish with my Merlin fanfiction “Coming of Age” and here I’m making something for another fandom. Well, let’s just say my writer’s block got the better of me.
Someone said that a good cure for writer’s block is to go and make other stories for the meantime and come back with the story again.
So I’m hoping that this story will turn out well and afterwards I could processed with the other.
Wish me luck!

“You’re not hurt, Watson? For God’s sake, say that you are not hurt!”
It was worth a wound–it was worth many wounds–to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask. The clear, hard eyes were dimmed for a moment, and the firm lips were shaking. For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. All my years of humble but single-minded service culminated in that moment of revelation.

“He liked to think aloud in my presence. His remarks could hardly be said to be made to me — many of them would have been as appropriately addressed to his bedstead — but none the less, having formed the habit, it had become in some way helpful that I should register and interject. If I irritated him by a certain methodical slowness in my mentality, that irritation served only to make his own flame-like intuitions and impressions flash up the more vividly and swiftly.”
—Watson, in “The Adventure of the Creeping Man”
“Do you feel a creeping, shrinking sensation, Watson, when you stand before the serpents in the Zoo, and see the slithery, gliding, venomous creatures, with their deadly eyes and wicked, flattened faces? Well, that’s how Milverton impresses me.”
—Sherlock Holmes, in “The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton”
“The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.”
—Sherlock Holmes, in “The Hound of the Baskervilles”
“
“What a woman — oh, what a woman!” cried the King of Bohemia, when we had all three read this epistle. “Did I not tell you how quick and resolute she was? Would she not have made an admirable queen? Is it not a pity that she was not on my level?”
“From what I have seen of the lady she seems indeed to be on a very different level to your Majesty,” said Holmes coldly.
