books So, Felicia Day's memoir...

[scifi42 39]

Please know while reading the following that I love-love-love Felicia as much as anybody. But, it is possible, even crucial, to be critical of the things we enjoy, and to love something while acknowledging it's problems.

 

With that in mind, I'm about 100 pages into her memoir. I'm thoroughly enjoying the book. It's a fun read, full of personality and weirdness and passion. But a few things that she says in the prologue continue to bother me. Take the following line:

 

"I opened my mouth to tell the kid that princess dresses reinforce sexual stereotypes."

 

or the even worse:

 

"This isn't a typical lady memoir. I appreciate my  beauty sleep too much to have crazy 'one night in Cabo' stories. I don't have emo ex-boyfriends to gossip about. And I haven't been on any quirky drug trips that ended in profound self-realizations."

 

And, for different reasons, 

 

"Always...assume the worst, then your never disappointed."

 

Was anybody else bothered by these throwaway lines? Does it change your opinions of her at all?
