FIRST OF ALL WELCOME EVERYONE FROM THE CRAZY merlin_land_ot FRIENDING MEME! I'm totally friending everyone I wasn't already friends with because it was the greatest thing ever.

And speaking of memes, since I was talking about this with Jen earlier:

1. Make a list of 15 characters.
2. SHOW THAT LIST TO SOMEONE AND YOU DIE.
3. Let the people of your FList comment one (1) number and one song they've chosen.
4. WITHOUT SHOWING YOUR LIST, write something about the character, using the song to inspire yourself.
5. You done? Good. Now you can go and show which character or couple it was.
6. It's a meme with a twist!!

Yeees, it's the one I've already posted before but since I only got one reply (#13) and I've friended like 12 new people since then I figured it might be worth a shot to try and get your interest again. The fandoms are Merlin, Doctor Who, Torchwood, SPN, The Big Bang Theory, Inception, ASOIAF, Temeraire, Locke Lamora. And also Castle which I totally forgot about.
HIZA I SWEAR YOUR FICLET IS COMING! Kinda sorta.

#14 is still open! Not that you probably know that character anyway. :|

ALSO EVERYONE SHOULD JOIN sherlockmas BECAUSE I SAY SO AND BECAUSE I'M ENTERING TOO MANY EXCHANGES AND I NEED SOME COMPANY IN MY DESCENT INTO MADNESS.

And no, I still haven't watched Merlin, though I did watch SPN but I keep forgetting to post about it because I find the vampire plot kinda boring. Also watched Children of Earth today. Russel T. Davies owes me three hours of my life back. And I'm just 4 episodes away from finishing Doctor Who S5, what am I going to do after? D:

Oh, I see it's midnight right now. Here, have a totally useless manip:

#9 - Penny (The Big Bang Theory) - 10,000 Nights

[renrenren3]

So I finally got around to your part of the meme. Apologies if you don't know the fandom. If you do know the fandom, apologies for the lack of nerdy references.

---

Sheldon is nothing like any of the guys she's dated before. For one thing he's Sheldon, which means he's pretty weird. Anyone who's met Sheldon would tell you that. If she had to go into details, she could make a list. He's tall, all right, but not muscular at all. She could beat him at arm wrestling any day. In fact, she has. It was very satisfactory. Sheldon talks easily enough but he's not what you'd call a good conversationalist.

They also have very few things in common. They used to have nothing in common at all, but they're working on that. Sheldon taught her how to play WoW and got her to watch Battlestar Galactica. She's never been able to get Sheldon interested in any of her hobbies, but she's trying.

Also, completely unlike most guys she's dated, Sheldon looks like a jerk and is actually a nice person. Or at least most of the times. Or at least the times that counted. She stopped being insulted by Sheldon's better-than-you attitude a long time ago: the sky is blue, Sheldon thinks I'm stupid, nothing new in the world. It's just the natural order of things. As long as she knows that Sheldon will be there if she needs him, she'll manage.

Of course, provided that she doesn't need him while his schedule says he should be doing laundry or something like that. Sheldon really needs to add an emergency clause to his schedule, and no, she's not going to use the bat-signal to signal an emergency.

But that's the thing. The basic difference, the one big thing that makes Sheldon different from all the Jacobs and Marks and Harveys that she dated in the past, is that Sheldon stuck around. He stuck around through Penny's endless rants about her failure to get any acting jobs, through her despair at losing her first acting job, through her horrific breakup with Leonard and through the two even more horrific subsequent breakups.

He's been a constant in her life for years, and you can see it from all the little details. Case in point: she would have never used the word 'constant' before meeting Sheldon. Sometimes she wonders if he knew that it would make her fall for him. Probably not, she thinks, this is Sheldon after all. Thinking that he could understand the subtleties of human romance is kind of like thinking that toasters are a sentient race planning to take over the world.

But he had to notice some change. She was sure that something about her had been different since that morning when she woke up and thought, "Oh crap, I think I'm in love with my crazy nerdy neighbor."
Sometimes she stares at him and wonders. And that's another good thing about Sheldon: you can stare all you want and nobody will find it strange, because everyone is always staring at Sheldon for one reason or another.

So anyway, she stares at Sheldon and wonders what she'll do now. The idea of starting a relationship with Sheldon is strange. Sheldon has the same concept of romance as the aforementioned toasters. She doubts that Sheldon would do dating or kissing or anything traditionally associated with a relationship. But she can't deny that she's thought about it. About them. Together.

She doesn't think she's ready to tell him right now, or tomorrow, or next week. Maybe it'll take her a year or two to find the courage to ask Sheldon out, or maybe ten years. Maybe twenty or more. But it's okay: she has all the time in the world, and Sheldon will stick around.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

REN!
This is so sweet. And I love it. I do.

Admittedly, I'm not very familiar with BBT, but I have seen couple of episodes, enough to know who Penny and Sheldon are, for one. And to see how cute they are together! Yes, if I had stuck with the show, I think I would be shipping them, too. And that is weird cos I usually slash everyone hahahaha.

Anyway, regardless of the fact that I'm not in the BBT fandom, it is still great! I love the secret pining, and sweet personal revelations of Penny and Sheldon's relationship. The way that Sheldon is not like any other guys she's dated, and that's kind of what makes him even more special. (And please don't kill me, but this reminds me so much of M/A. Meeeep. I'm so so sorry! I can't help it!)

This last paragraph. I love it so much. It gave me goosebumps. &hearts

Bb, thank you so much for writing me this. I love you! &hearts

Aww bb you're welcome! I think my crappy day is better already. ♥ Sorry it took me forever and ever to get around to it.

BBT is veeery popular with my coursemates since we're like real life Sheldons and Leonards so my social life demanded that I saw the show. Haha. I'm not much involved in the fandom either but Penny and Sheldon together are ridiculously adorable and I couldn't stop myself from shipping them.

Hahaha. That last paragraph. That was a direct result of typing 10000/365= into my calculator and finding out the answer is 27-point-something. My canon now says in 27 years they'll get married. Sorry if this... kills the magic or something. XD

I LOVE YOU TOO! ♥ ♥
