There's too much to read

What I'm reading right now:

Landscape of the Body by John Guare for my theatre class. I'm acting one of the scenes in it.

Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Watching the English: The Hidden Rules of English Behavior by Kate Fox

The screenplay of The Crimes of Grindelwald

All of this at the same time. It's madness.

Sherlock musings

I keep wondering about why Sherlock got a flatmate. Supposedly, it was to share the rent, but John was frequently unemployed when they lived together, so it’s hardly possible for him to be keeping up his side of the bargain. Same goes for the rest of the flat expenses. Did John return Sherlock’s card after the incidents of The Blind Banker, or did they continue sharing it? They probably shared it, didn’t they? I don’t recall John having a job in season 2, either.

So Sherlock was paying all the rent. He must have. And I don’t see Mrs. Hudson kicking him out for being low one month. She loves him too much (their surrogate mother/son relationship is too precious). I think Sherlock wanted a companion. He may claim not to do friends plural, but the way that he latched onto John really quickly and fully integrated him into his life immediately indicates that he wanted one. And not just a friend, but someone living with him. Someone to share his life with. The living space, the cases, the odd head in the fridge. And he got incredibly lucky to find precisely the person that he needed and wanted in John. Who was also looking for exactly that. Well, not the head in the fridge.
