The Daily Procrastinator

So how YOU doin', red?

I have a confession: I have a girl crush on Felicia Day.

I revealed this crush to the guys of this very blog, thinking that this would be some sort of startling revelation. Instead, my confession was met with shrugs. “Who doesn’t have a crush on her?” one asked.

So it appears that if you don’t have a crush on her, too, the only conceivable answer is that you must not know who she is. I’m sure that you would recognize her, even if you don’t know her by name. Please refer to this or this. No, really. It’s ok. I can wait.

I’m not sure when the crushing started. Maybe it was when I realized how much my heart broke for Penny at the end of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog (many thanks to Joss Whedon for reducing me to tears yet again), or maybe it was when I realized that I had a ridiculous level of interest in The Guild in spite of the fact that I know nothing of the world of gamers. Or maybe it even goes back to the Buffy days. I can’t pinpoint it, but it’s there.

There’s just something about her that’s funny and quirky and sweet and easy to like. Since her Twitter posts seem to be a reflection of her on-screen persona, I have to assume that it’s the real person that I like, and not just some well-written characters.

Short hair works, too.

So I just wanted to take a moment to suggest that perhaps there should be more Felicia Day in the world. There should also be more Nathan Fillion (Joss, are you listening?), but that’s another story for another post.

Anyone else feel the same way?
