You're Never Weird on the Internet

something about the writing style of all these recent humourous memoirs (Tina fey, Amy Poehler) drives me nuts. it's trying too hard, I don't need to laugh at every other sentence gaaaaaaah. it was worth it to make it through Day has been through some crazy times on the internet even if I've never been a fan of The Guild or anything really. and fucking gamergate, ugh.

I first found out about Felicia Day because I'm a Supernatural fangirl... but as soon as my husband saw her in Supernatural, he husband was like “OHMYGOD!!! It's the girl from The Guild!!!”. Me, of course, “What the heck is The Guild???” So since I fell so hard for Charlie (Felicia Day's character in Supernatural just in case you didn't know), I had to find out more and watch this Guild show. But... well... I'm not a gamer, so I'm sure I didn't appreciate all The Guild has to offer. My husband on the other hand does play WOW, and Felicia Day had a lot to do with my understanding of his gamer life.

While I'm not a gamer, I am a bit of a fandom nerd. So I count myself at least being worthy enough to read about Felicia Day's geekiness and understand at least most of what she is saying. And I'm glad I picked up her book because it was AMAZING. I've always seen her as the super cute, outgoing, confident, geeky girl that she is on screen. But apparently she's not always like that. Duh. The level of work that she had to put in to achieving her dream is pretty inspiring. She truly made me feel like I can achieve whatever I put my mind to.

This book really spoke to me, since I'm in a big transition period in my life. And even lately I have been embracing the world wide web and finding my corner in it via my bookshop which I hope to grow into even more!!! BECAUSE FELICIA DAY SAID I CAN... And if I ever make her a mug, apparently she will keep it forever!! Plus this book just felt like talking to a friend. I LOVE HER.
