I have no words...none. I think I just flailed a bit on your behalf.

I haven't used this word in a long time in fandom, but...

GUH.

That is all. Just...GUH.

Heh, flail all you want, as I have to admit, he hasn't fully "caught" me yet. I'm still waiting for that special feeling in my belly. I had to wait for it with David Tennant for a long while as well (and wondered what others saw in him) so I hope it will happen yet! So far I admire him for his acting but I am not flailing like others.

He is indeed a nice, charming and polite guy and very enthusiastic about his work. And he said he enjoyed himself so here's hope he'll do another event one day!

[jackwabbit]

Yeah...I truly flailed. :)

Glad he appeared to have a good time. One can only hope he'll do more events. I would go in a heartbeat if I could!

Have I already given you the link for the official Sherlock convention? Here you can sign up for any news about it: http://massiveevents.co.uk/sherlocked/

It's supposed to take place both in the US and Europe. I wonder what it will be like.

Oh wow such a lovey shot.

[dieastra]

Thank you, it really is!

[tardisjournal]

Ohhh... that's just lovely! :D You took so pretty and Benedict is so good-looking it hardly seems fair. :-p I'm rather intrigued by the fact he's wearing a scarf in the photo. Unless it was really cold inside (doubtful--with all those people around!) it's an interesting fashion statement!

[dieastra]

Thank you! It is indeed a nice picture. But as usually went by way too fast!

Since he was in LA till the week before the con, he did feel very cold. That's why. See that he also wears his coat in the picture? Looking very Sherlockian! Later that day, on stage for the Q&A, he had not the scarf and coat, but commented on how cold it was and then put the scarf on, and everyone was staring at his hands binding it in that typical way ;) And then someone brought his jacket for him and he put it on as well.

[tardisjournal]

I think Benedict is single-handily responsible for giving legions of fangirls and fanboys a scarf fetish! I would LOVE to see him put it on in person. Guh.

I learned how to knot it that way from a trendy male friend of ours and perfected the art of doing it nonchalantly, as if I had no idea what it does to Maryanne every time. LOL. ;)

[dieastra]

You know what I discovered recently... we were going out with the family and my father knotted his scarf like that... I never noticed before! Me, I just wrap it around my neck, without any special loops. And there he was doing it. I think I was a bit staring ;)

Haha, you are SO wicked LOL

He...he's got his hand on your shoulder....

*faints*

[dieastra]

You know, up until you said it I did not realize, and I certainly don't remember it... it all goes over so quickly!

[hiddleasaurus]

That is too awesome! I am eternally jealous, but in a good way.

[dieastra]

Thank you, it is indeed a rather nice picture! But of course as always it went by way too quickly. I don't even remember his hand on my shoulder...
