36. Tell your teen you used to be cool |
|
until you had to listen to him/her blather incessantly about how cool s/he is, and that bled all your coolness off.

I used to try to be cool, but it was like a donkey trying to be an elephant. People began to like me a lot better when I stopped trying to be cool and was just myself.

In terms of style, if I were a literary character, I'd be Cayce Pollard from _Pattern Recognition_ (William Gibson). If I owned a Dremel tool, I'd be sitting here filing the logos off my jean buttons right now. :)
Actually, I'm so anti-cool, I'm usually about 6 months ahead of the trends. I pick something up, then everyone else discovers it, at which point I drop it and find something else. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Therefore, I voted "uncool." Just ask the Kool Kids at my high school, if you can get a time machine and go back 10 years! :)

28. It's hard work being UN COOL...all you have to do to be cool is spout |
|
a popular mantra whereas being UN COOL requires a mantra all your own?? I have been UN COOL since my teens...though I do admit I had a lapse at one time and entered the COOL world...man it felt icky...like you could not disagree with the COOLEST of the COOL...even when they were total idiots. I quite being COOL real quick. I never bought the latest fashions and I recall about 1960 putting on a LONG skirt (mid shin-minis were all the rage) and thinking how much I liked it.
I did do COOL things like quit wearing a bra during the 60's etc, but not because it was COOL, but because my back has always been fleshy and the bra always put an indentation in my back??? I hated bras from the time I was FORCED to wear one till I trashed mine in the 60's never to wear one again...except under very strict requirements (white blouse)

That puts people at ease, which is necessary when you are intimidating in stature and are scary looking (I'll post a pic sometime).
I'm such a natural dork, I bring out the inner dork in people. Its a good thing, kids love dorks.

How would I answer if only given the two choices...I just don't know. Sometimes I act like like a complete dork, other times pretty cool, I know it can't be 50/50 but it's awfully close.

I may be a dork, but I display lots of confidence in myself, and also I'm not particularly ugly. The goatee helps me look a little more trendy. Well, at least before I shaved it off.;-) I'm like one of those uncool guys who you see and think, "well, he's not cool, but he's no less than most folks."
My voice makes me sound like a dork, mostly.
