wounded lions

i heart wounded lions. Tonight a heavily tattooed, devastatingly skinny boy in miss sixty helped me find the women's shoes, and i couldn't help but notice how wrongly sexy he was in all of his obvious woundedness. I am not alone. Hugh Laurie would not be a household name if not for the millions of women who worship his portrayal of the drug-addled and crippled Dr. Gregory House. Dr. Gregory House is my ideal man. Moderately successful, emotionally unavailable, too old for procreation, and beautiful. Does anyone out there know who that character was based on? I refuse to believe House is entirely fictional. Do tell.
