deckardcanineWithout meaning to, in two days I watched two programs in which a major character seems like an exaggeration of me.
First was my dad's rental of Lars and the Real Girl. Like Lars, I'm gentle and religious but highly introverted, and I feel funny about being touched. But I wouldn't break a promise to dine with family just so I could be alone, and hugs don't make me wince in pain, especially when I expect them. Still, there was enough similarity to make me worry that I could've ended up like him, and D.C. wouldn't be nearly as supportive of him as a small town.
Next was my rental of the first disc of "The Big Bang Theory." While I have trouble remembering what a Higgs boson is, the geek who resembles me most is Sheldon. He has trouble reading sarcasm and emotions, he's a neat freak, and he has no drive to find romance. I like to think, tho, that any given person would find me less annoying.
Both were well worth my viewing, but I can't help feeling on some level like somebody's making fun of me.
