forgot to mention

After Lestrade's post last night I feel as if you're all picturing me slaving over a hot stove for hours, so let me just say, as I did in the comments: Chinese takeaway. (Although I did heat the eggrolls up in the oven instead of the microwave. It makes them crispy. This is the sort of cooking I'm comfortable with.)

The part he failed entirely to mention was that one of the little shits I'd been feeling sorry for "flailed about" (his words) during the arrest and caught him in the eye. Slight bruise and a scratch on his cheek that he never cleaned because he was "too busy." Honestly, some people just think they're invulnerable.

I know a few of the people he works with read this, so listen up. Next time he's wandering about with blood on his face all day? Say something. I know he's your boss, but even so. Just a thought. (I'm embarrassing the hell out of him right now. It's a sort of hobby I have.)

Thanks to you Sally has produced a packet of sticky plasters with bloody Disney characters on them and threatened that next time I get a 'Boo-boo' she'll make me use one.

And you make it sound like they'd even have noticed. It was just a scratch! I've had far worse.

Exactly the result I was hoping for! I like this Sally; have I met her?

Also, the phrase "I've had far worse" is not likely to make me worry less! (Seriously though, when they're that close to your eye, an infection is the last thing you want.)

Keep at it. Embarrassing one's boyfriend is a terrific hobby to have; it's part of the point of the whole relationship thing. XD

John H. D. Watson said...

Oh, I will.

(He loves it really.)

Lawless523 - is it? I need a hobby...

So, what exactly do the H and the D stand for, John H D Watson?? I'm sure we all want to know!

John - should be able to leave soon. Thought I might come over, if you're free-ish? Make up for last night, when I think I ate your food, passed out and barely said two words to you. (and those two words were 'stop fussing'). Call me if you want me to pick up anything on the way over.

Lestrade - You can always embarrass him back. :) I assume asking about his middle names is an attempt to do that.

Yes, this is my attempt to play both ends against the middle.

Respectfully requesting a new poll and also, please speak with Lestrade about an LJ feed so that those of us who are internet-challenged can keep up with him. I tried to figure it out with no results, alas. Thank you!

Ilras - there's a link-thing in one of the comments on my blog. One of them is to a thing called LiveJournal. I don't know, Mycroft set it all up, I just copied and pasted the links!

- John, you have sort of met Sally. She was there when Sherlock was at the station before Christmas. But you didn't exactly 'meet'. She just spent a lot of time checking you out!

Lawless523 - Indeed. Surely H can't stand for anything good? And anyway, he'd have told me already if they weren't embarrassing.

John H. D. Watson said...

The H stands for Hamish.

Oh, your sergeant? She seemed nice, but I wasn't really in a mental state to do much but gibber gratefully.

Lestrade - Thank you! Yay! I somehow missed that!
