The sign of an intelligent people is their ability to control emotions by the application of reason. - Marya Mannes


Nearing the eighth month. I'm still keeping count. Sherlock found out about my recent entries and told me to stop working on it, saying that it didn't do him any justice. And surprisingly, I did. But I'm back up doing this again. Hello, hello. Hoping you all miss me.

I've talked a lot about Sherlock's intelligence. What I haven't talked about is his emotions. And as of late, I don't think he has any. For example, just a week ago, it was my turn to fetch the groceries. Walked up the stairs to our flat and tripped. Nasty bruises and a few cuts. Sherlock's response consisted something about the eggs being dropped and having to notify Mrs. Hudson about it.

Because eggs are far more important than an injured man.

Maybe it's just me being a bit angry with him, or it's the physical pain talking, but God, that man is infuriating.

Anyway, I limped my way into the flat. Sherlock looked at me and called me inconsiderate about leaving the groceries on the stairs. This is my friend, Sherlock Holmes, and he's a sodding arse. One thing happened, though. I was more or less hopped up on pain-relieving drugs that Sherlock offered - one of the effects is causing drowsiness, by the way - but I am fairly certain that he asked if I was okay. Bit late to be asking that. In the middle of answering, I almost passed out. Actually, I did.

Woke up with a kink in my neck. Sherlock was already awake. He asked me if I slept well and I might've told him to piss off. It was the drugs talking, I'm sure. Felt guilty saying it because Sherlock looked stunned for a moment. I'm pretty sure he wanted to punch me as much as I wanted to punch myself at that time. Sherlock, if you're reading this, I'm sorry. Still doesn't excuse the fact that you're a complete dick almost 24 hours of the day.

Sherlock, you're a dick. I won't deny that and hopefully, you won't either, but I do realize that you have emotions - why else would you bother to give me pain relievers? - and I suppose I can also say thank you for the medication.
