Hello. My name is Lauren and I'm from Bloomington, IL USA (which really is south of a town called Normal)
I'm really not sure how I got into Sherlock. LOL I was a fan of Doctor Who first. I guess i decided to check out Sherlock after watching Matt and Benedict present Steven with the special BAFTA award. I noticed Series 2 of Sherlock on DVD at the store while I was looking in the TV on DVD section and I figured "hey why not?" LOL. Loved it. I had not read any of the Sherlock books as a child. I live in the US and when i was a child, although I was above average in reading the Laura Ingalls Wilder books were more up my alley. Thanks to Sherlock and Doctor Who I am majorly addicted to British Television. I watch a lot of it on youtube since I get a grand total of 2 UK TV channels: BBC America (which show mostly Top Gear and Gordon Ramsey-no thanks on those 2) and BBC News. I watch QI and Never Mind The Buzzcocks (the series that had Mark Lamarr, I'd prefer to throw Simon Amstell under a bus). I love getting to learn about another culture and planning a 2016 trip to the UK to celebrate my 30th birthday.
