"Forced Quirkiness: You Have Been Dismissed. Can everybody stop pretending to be weird? Look, I wish life was like a Wes Anderson movie too — I really do. But unfortunately in the “real world” we have to do shit. Real shit…like work hard and make money, so we can eat and meet our obligations. Of course, there are actual quirky people. And they are often charming, interesting and cutely awkward. The key difference is their modesty. They can still function as people and not be completely self-involved at every moment. They don’t parade around the city while wearing a suit, playing the ukulele in a city park with a girl who wishes she was Zooey Deschanel. They don’t pretend they’re pigeon toed when they sit down. They have no interest in faking an accent for a day. They don’t pretend they’re nervous when they’re not. And no, they don’t use typewriters. No one does." Yogurt Donor
