_Felicia Day graduated uni at 19, started playing violin at 2, and was born at -5. Her current age is a complex number._

Take heart, Felicia - any of us who spent part of our youth in the late 80's or early 90's emerged from a battlefield of questionable fashion. I distinctly remember neon outfits and trying to rip holes in the knees of my jeans **shudder**. The difference is you had genuine talent and charisma that couldn't be contained by any odd attire! And self-deprecation aside, there's a lot of joy and fluidity in your dance moves, and a ton of talent in your violin playing. Extremely impressive - thanks for sharing!
