The dead body was not Shadow's friend. So, he's relieved about that.
Anyway, we were talking a bit more... and he asked which one of us was Sherlock. I replied I wasn't sure. And that just because I had the surname Watson, didn't mean I automatically was Dr. Watson. In the end, Shadow claimed that he was Sherlock, and I would be Dr. Watson. sweatdrop
Now that I think about it. I think it fits quite well with the two of us. He is quite a bit like Sherlock - laidback, curious, always doing new and strange things (sometimes resulting in other people wondering where his thought process is going with it), and has a knack of getting into trouble. And me... I'm like Dr. Watson, in this scenario. I'm a bit more of a proper person, I'm intelligent ((done more schooling than Shadow has)), loves to read... *shrugs*

I shall first start off talking about how I'm like Sherlock Holmes.
In the stories, Watson describes Holmes as a "bohemian" in habits and lifestyle. While I personally don't consider myself completely "bohemian", I can think of some ways how I'm like this. Watson also notes Holmes' willingness to bend the truth or break the law on behalf of a client (i.e. lying to the police, concealing evidence or breaking into houses). I can connect with this. Sherlock Holmes is pleased when he is recognized for having superior skills and responses to flattery, as Watson remarks, as a girl does upon her beauty. I am like this most of the time. Unlike Sherlock who was often a loner and barely made friends - I am a bit more social able. While it's true I am a bit on the quiet/shy side and it takes me some time to trust people to consider them as friends... I still manage to make more friends than Sherlock has. In the first book of the Sherlock Holmes series, it is mentioned that Holmes' mood can change without warning, from day to day. One moment he is active and, if Watson is around to listen to him, he goes on rambling about the discovery he has found ((usually about some experiment he's conducted)). Then the next, he's laying on the couch in a depressed mood. As for myself, I tend to have these mood swings as well. This is probably the part that makes me think about how much I am like Sherlock. Finally, in one of the books, Watson makes a list of what knowledge Sherlock has:
1. Knowledge of Literature — Nothing.
2. Knowledge of Philosophy — Nothing.
3. Knowledge of Astronomy — Nothing.
4. Knowledge of Politics — Feeble.
5. Knowledge of Botany — Variable. Well up in belladonna, opium and poisons generally. Knows nothing of practical gardening.
6. Knowledge of Geology — Practical, but limited. Tells at a glance different soils from each other. After walks, has shown me splashes upon his trousers, and told me by their colour and consistence in what part of London he had received them.
7. Knowledge of Chemistry — Profound.
8. Knowledge of Anatomy — Accurate, but unsystematic.
9. Knowledge of Sensational Literature — Immense. He appears to know every detail of every horror perpetrated in the century.
10. Plays the violin well.
11. Is an expert singlestick player, boxer and swordsman.
12. Has a good practical knowledge of British law.
For me? Here's what Watson might write about me.
1. Knowledge of Literature — Profound.
2. Knowledge of Philosophy — Variable. Has a reasonable amount of knowledge on certain religions and philosophies.
3. Knowledge of Astronomy — Variable.
4. Knowledge of Politics — Feeble.
5. Knowledge of Botany — Variable. Knows quite a bit about local plants, thanks to several classes taken in college.
6. Knowledge of Geology — Practical, but limited.
7. Knowledge of Chemistry — Feeble.
8. Knowledge of Anatomy — Limited.
9. Knowledge of Sensational Literature — Variable.
10. Has an excellent singing voice.
11. When not reading, she prefers to visit with friends and family, or go for a walk.
12. Is always curious about learning new things, even if it's extending her knowledge in an area she is either profound in or has feeble knowledge of.
So... with this being said, I'm a bit more knowledgeable than Sherlock Holmes is in mostly the literature area, which would make sense seeing as Holmes' would've majored in scientific areas (that related to detective work) and I'm majoring in English. We are knowledgeable in the areas of our work... and disregard much information about any of the others areas. Unless we have to indulge in it, to find out more information for our "case". xd

Now to compare me with Watson.
Like Watson, I am an intelligent person. However, unlike Watson who prefers to focus on materialistic ideas... in other words, theories that can be proved by science and not supernatural-like ideas... I tend to be more like Holmes thinking wise (believing in supernatural-like ideas to exist). Watson tends to take on certain manners from those around him (particularly Holmes; one time he solved a case, using Holmes' methods - despite solving it, Holmes states that "[he] sees, but [he does] not observe" - I'm quite an observant person (so a mark towards Holmes)). Holmes states that Watson has a "pawky humour" - which probably describes my sense of humor pretty well. Watson is naturally open and straightforward, while Holmes can be secretive and devious - I'm more like Holmes when it comes to this. When it comes to their professions - Watson being a doctor, Holmes being a detective - I've never considered myself working in the medical field. It's never interested me. I could see myself working in the detective field though, if I had to choose between the two. The only time I would be a "doctor" is if I earned myself a Doctorate in English. Then I could call myself a "doctor". sweatdrop Watson is considered a ladies' man ((where as Holmes, while does enjoy the occasional interaction with women [particularly of Irene Adler] but overall, claims to never trust them)). I don't really know where I stand when it comes to the opposite sex... I think I'm somewhere in the middle between the two. I interact well with guys, but it takes me some time to develop trust in them. Watson likes to write down the events of the days, especially during the cases they are working on. I like to keep track of events that have occurred in my life, and in other peoples' lives as well. There's also speculation that Watson's family originates from Scotland. On my father's paternal side, I could potentially have Scottish heritage myself.
