You’re Never Weird On The Internet (Almost) – Felicia Day<\/p><\/div>\n

Last December, Felicia Day announced that she was writing a book and I went ahead a pre-ordered it on Amazon. \u00a09 months later, her memoir has finally come out and, while I certainly enjoyed it, I’m left feeling a bit underwhelmed.<\/p>\n

Day covers her unconventional upbringing, having been home-schooled from an early age and starting college as a 16 year old without a high school diploma, before moving on to her attempts to make it as an actor and, eventually, becoming a pioneer in creating original content for the web. \u00a0She details the struggle of trying to keep control of her creations as they became more successful, and the trouble it caused her, both physically and emotionally.<\/p>\n

I consider myself a fan of Felicia Day, from her work as a potential in the final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em> to her starring role in the web series Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog<\/em>. \u00a0But, there are some gaps. \u00a0I’ve never seen her defining web series The Guild<\/em>. \u00a0I subscribe to her YouTube channel, Geek & Sundry, but have never really watched any of her videos. \u00a0Reading her book didn’t really make me want to run out and change any of that either. \u00a0And maybe that’s OK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
