FUCK YOU GOD. This body's by Victoria, and she's doing it right this time.
eta: Sherlock is not a sociopath--this probably goes for any fictional character, unless you've got a very determined and research-happy writer.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sherlock is not a sociopath
Were we supposed to think he was? That's not really a question for you, ita; I'm just surprised at the idea that a line that was so obviously meant to be snark has been taken literally. (Granted that the fictional character of Sherlock sure doesn't play for Team Gloriously Statistically Normal Now Give Me A Budweiser, but that's a far cry from sociopathy.)

Yes, I am still trying to put off washing the dishes, and now watching S2 of Sherlock seems incredibly appealing.

Oh, hey--remember yesterday when I said there were lots of helicopters hovering? Thanks, Polgara. I'm thinking I've found out the other 2 in order to get to 4. But I don't remember hearing a crash, though. Poor pilot. I wonder what happened?
I didn't drive into work yesterday, but that's on one of my routes home. At about the time I come home, so I'd likely have been caught in the snarl of traffic. Last time something jammed the area up, it was an escaped convict. Clearly this a more exciting neighbourhood than I'd originally thought.
(There are sirens and helicopters going by as I type this...)

Unrelatedly--Steph, I've seen a fair amount of meta talk about Sherlock as a sociopath with only one healthy attachment.
Which is not a sociopath, but hey. How else are you gonna script your fairy tale?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I managed to get the dishes done last night, but I don't seem to be getting dressed or doing anything else so far today.

Good luck to your brother. That is a hard race!
Yeah, especially since, although he's been training hard, he didn't quite qualify. He won a lottery at the last big mountain bike ride he did, and that gave him the entry to Leadville. He still seemed to think he could do it in 10 hours, which is 10 mph at high altitude! Pretty impressive.
I just wish I could tell--he was supposed to be sending us texts, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I drive through that neighborhood all the time to hang with Jane, so yeah, that's a little freaky, especially given how very many of those small planes are always flying in this area. Totally missed the activity though, as I was driving north around that time.

It does feel far from the Santa Monica airport to crash, though. The pilot must have been in a lot of trouble.
