Mayim Bialik

If there is anything I expect you to know about me by now, it is that I am in love with The Big Bang Theory and its incredibly talented cast (I'll also accept Star Trek in this case as well). Since watching my first episode, Sheldon has been my favorite character and I am LOVING his relationship with Amy Farrah Fowler. She is, for all intents and purposes, characterized as Sheldon's girlfriend on the show, but as Sheldon would say, "She is a girl who is my friend, but not my girlfriend." Played by the hilarious Mayim Bialik (of Blossom fame), Amy Farrah Fowler has breathed new life into the show and I cannot wait to see where the writers take their relationship.

Recently, Mayim published her first book titled Beyond the Sling, and I instantly started searching for a possible book tour as a means of obtaining her signature. I discovered her agenda on her official website (probably would have been easier to check there in the first place), and made a call out to the Vroman's book store in Pasadena, California. I spoke with some lovely people and they said, time permitting, they would try and have Mayim sign a copy for me...well, I don't think I need to spell the rest out for you now. Take a look at the photo below. I am ecstatic to have received a signed book, especially considering she: 1) dedicated the book to me (always a plus), 2) added the date of signing (a nice touch) and 3) wrote "Amy Farrah Fowler" underneath her signature (I had originally asked for the dedication to read something like, "To Andrew - Best Wishes from Amy Farrah Fowler - Mayim Bialik," but the fact that she was courteous enough to add her character name is PLENTY for me). Seeing "Amy Farrah Fowler" written underneath her signature was the icing on top of the cake.

 

I have tried multiple times to add Mayim's autograph to my Big Bang collection, and I am thrilled I have finally secured her signature. Below, I have embedded one of my absolute favorite scenes from this season of The Big Bang Theory, which features Sheldon and Amy in one of their finest moments together. Have a look!
