Of All the Sherlock and all the Doctor Who fans in the world, I’m looking for the ones in Los Angeles. I’m moving to the culver city/Palms area in exactly two weeks, and I figure it is time to start doing a small bit of networking! So if you have a level of interest in either of these shows, like to read, or enjoy writing in some form, have an obsession with tea, and want another friend, send me a message or an ask! Also if you want to reblog this so it reaches as many as possible, that’d be awesome.
This is my half amused face. It’s frequently out and about. Its in response to my friend, doing something half amusing.
Since I won’t be able to work right away when I go to California, I’m looking for ways to entertain myself. If things get desperate, I may become a consulting detective, or a consulting criminal.
Or maybe I’ll practice being unemployed and in my twenties.
