“The Big Bang” by Nettie Farris

Remember when I asked if you watched The Big Bang Theory and you didn’t respond? Well, I was going to say that you remind me of Leonard, though I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s the fact that I think he’s cute, though I’m not sure.  He’s really rather pathetic. Though, I suppose, in the context of his friends, he’s sort of with it. It’s his vulnerability, most likely, that attracts me to him. And the fact that Penny finds him attractive. Perhaps it’s Penny that I really find attractive and not Leonard, or you, at all. I mean, you’re not the slightest  bit vulnerable, so why should I even compare you to Leonard in the first place? Maybe I’m merely wishing that you share in Leonard’s vulnerability, or maybe I glimpsed, in some unsuspecting moment, a glimmer of vulnerability in you. Or maybe I just want to be Penny. Maybe it’s not about you at all. It’s about me. And that’s why you didn’t respond to me, in the first place.
