*sniggers* Hey, at least I didn't actually kill him. And there's even a puppy...
(As a character, Leonard sets off every single alarm in my head about 'Nice Guys', and the type of bloke who feels entitled, and then turns into a seething mass of spiteful resentment when he doesn't get it. Granted, Grendel had a nicer mother, but still - it explains, but does not excuse.)
Oh, me tooooo. And I mean, I dated one for a while, and kind of want to stab myself for it, and every time the show validates that behavior and makes Penny fall for it I want to kill all the writers. I mean, I know women DO fall for it, I fell for it, but it's not what I want television telling people is okay and normal and the kind of relationship we should cheer for. The first time they kissed and the studio audience cheered I stood up in my living room and gave my roommate spasms of laughter by shouting at the audience for being STUPID and at Penny that there are therapists in the world to help her with her issues.
Also everything on the Big Bang Theory tag on my Pinboard. And everything at damalur's Sheldon/Penny primer, and you can click on most of the authors there to find more of their fic, which is well worth doing. I especially recommend ishie, fujiidom, montycrowley, and cereal. Oh, and this lovely fic/art thing; the story (and art) continues in the comments, so you have to be willing to click "Expand" a lot, but it's worth it.
*grins* When every other kid in the class wants to be a fireman or a ballerina, and you want to be a dragon...
I blame JRR for my fascination with both mythology and sharp pointy things. Otherwise, I would probably have got some respectable and boringly employable degree instead of being a medieval archaeologist with a weapons fetish.
