The human brain is a most unusual instrument of elegant and as yet unknown capacity. - Stuart Seaton
Been roughly three months since I've roomed in with Sherlock. I still stand with my initial judgment of him, but there's something I would like to change.
He's one of the most brilliant people I've ever met. Yes, I know I've said things about him knowing a man's life story by just looking at him or that Sherlock's always solving a case with ease, but this man is just undoubtedly intelligent. It's like Sherlock has every strategy ever performed locked into that head of his. Always the problem-solver, Holmes.
It always leaves me awestruck knowing that he can tell what I've eaten for the past few days - regardless by the fact that most of the times I eat, he's around me - or if I've taken any medication that would help with my nightmares or relieve a minor headache. He can just look at me and he'd be able to point out anything and everything about me. It's almost inhuman to have that capability of knowing so much just by the little details.
I have a hunch. People store things in their minds that seem to be important in remembering, and they use that information in the future. If it isn't important, then it's no use remembering. I'm guilty of not being able to remember a few of my date's birthdays, or hell, even their names - yes, shame in poor me, but that's not the point - but Sherlock seems to store every little thing into his mind. The color of the sky, the fabric of someone's shirt, the condition of someone's nails; everything.
It's unnatural meeting up with someone so smart. And not the educated kind of smart, or the book kind of smart, or even the street smart. More like a robot smart. It's like Sherlock's mind works in a way that only a robot can handle. When we're having our regular conversations and eye contact is made, Sherlock looks me over like he's deducing what I've done the past few hours. He makes up assumptions and cancels out the ones that don't make sense, and eventually toss in the most accurate one into the talk.
It's certainly impressive, seeing him analyze something. I always find delight into those things. Love it.
