You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) QUOTES

You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) QUOTES

1 " It's either perfect, or it's the worst thing ever made and everyone is an artistic failure, including myself. (Yay, emotional extremes!) "

― Felicia Day , You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)

2 " Denial is strong with this one. "

― Felicia Day , You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)

3 " I couldn’t trust my own mind anymore, which was
the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced. "

4 " They focused a large amount of their wrath on people trying to add dialogue about feminism and diversity in gaming, condemning them as “Social Justice Warriors.” (That label was always so weird to me, because how is that an insult? “Social Justice Warrior” actually sounds pretty badass.) "

5 " I had no confidence in myself. I was a fraud. Who was I to pick up a pen and expect anything good to come from it? I expected perfection as soon as the pencil hit the paper, and since that's impossible, I couldn't get myself to start. Then I felt guilty about not starting which made me want to start even less. "

6 " In retrospect, crappy chemicals in my brain were working overtime, driving me to destroy myself, like that thing that makes lemmings throw them¬selves over a cliff. "

7 " FYI, it isn’t how I suspected. If you eat enough Cheetos you will NOT actually poop an extra-large Cheeto. "

8 " ...make sure if you're working hard at something it's in a subject you actually want to remember something about ten years later. "

9 " Yeah, yeah, success is a ladder, a marathon instead of a sprint and all that crap. Everyone can TELL you stuff like that, but you really have to understand advice in relation to YOURSELF, or it's all just nice intellectual theory. "

10 " I've always felt like a failure inside if I'm not already a success, if that makes any sense. "

― Felicia Day , You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)

11 " I'd found my niche: cat-owning, stalker-y secretary. And I played the same part again and again and again. "

― Felicia Day , You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)

12 " ...CompuServe, and it was not sophisticated, guys. It was the cave painting equivalent to Tumblr. "

― Felicia Day , You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)

13 " You can FEEL the wave of emotion online when something is about to go viral, good or bad. A scientist I met once mathematically compared internet behavior to swarm behavior seen in starlings or locusts. "

14 " Whether it was by someone volunteering to be an extra in our show, or part of the crew, or someone buying a DVD at a convention, or a superfan who tattooed our characters' faces on her calf, my career has been built fan by fan. I wouldn't trade that relationship, or collection of dolls of myself, for all the money and fame in the world. "

15 " It might be extremely dorky to point out, but who you are is singular. It’s science. No one else in existence has your point of view or exact genome (identical twins and clones, look for inspiration elsewhere, please). That is why we need people to share and help us understand one another better. And on a bigger level than just taking a selfie. (Not hating on selfies, but a few is enough. You look good from that angle; we get it.) We need the world to hear more opinions, give glimpses into more diverse subcultures. Are you REALLY into dressing your cat in handcrafted, historically authentic outfits? No problem, there are people out there who want to see that! Probably in excruciating detail! "

16 " I was obsessed. I couldn't stop myself. It was not healthy, but I couldn't stop. I didn't feel like there was anything else in my life to stop for. We all have periods of our life when we're trapped doing something we hate and we develop habits that have nothing to do with our long-term goals to fill the downtime, right? I hope you identify with that idea. It's the only way I can explain becoming so emotionally invested in a video game that I would get in my car and drive around town sobbing if my internet went out. "

17 " When we graduate from childhood into adulthood, we're thrown into this confusing, Cthulhu-like miasma of life, filled with social and career problems, all with branching choices and no correct answers. "

― Felicia Day , You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)

18 " I learned several important things about myself: A. If a boy has an accent; I'd will fall in love with him. If he has an accent and glasses; I will want to marry him..... "

19 " Najděte si skupinu lidí, kteří vás podpoří, dodají vám odvahu, vzbudí ve vás pocit viny a donutí vás něco DĚLAT. Pokud žádnou takovou nenajdete, sami si ji vytvořte. Palačinky má v oblibě spousta lidí. "

― Felicia Day , You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)

20 " My dreams about finding a place to create true, meaningful friendships around my fake video game world had come true. "
