1. Don't give a shit
I have a very low tolerance for people who think they're cool.

3. I'm a geek. Total geek.
Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Lord of the Rings, comic books... I love 'em all, and that's just scratching the surface.

No part of me is cool, and I'm a-okay with that. :)

4. I don't share any of those interests
but you seem like a pretty cool geek to me. Honesty is always cool.

6. If you have to wonder, you're not cool.
And by the way, doing drugs doesn't make one cool. If you're lame, and you get stoned, now you're lame AND stoned.

7. My cat thinks I'm cool. My wife thinks I'm cool. The other cat thinks I'm a moderately
useful sort of primate. The rest of the world can bite my rump as far as I care...

(Damn, how cool is that? Attitude! I know, right?)

8. About forty years ago
When I was 24 years old, I went home from Chicago to my small home town for a weekend. On Saturday, I went grocery shopping with my mother. I was wearing my grey maxi coat with a twelve foot white knit scarf and a cute knit hat. Underneath I wore glen plaid overalls with a black turtleneck.

I overheard two younger girls saying, "Isn't that girl cool?"

I was overwhelmed with happiness to be considered cool in my home town.

Now I'm a cool old lady, and don't you dare say I'm not!

12. They MAY say they don't give a shit...
but deep down inside, they are hurting badly over the fact they aren't cool.

j/k!! It's late and I'm in a snarky mood!

13. Probably not. Maybe. The guy who lives in my head and sees the world through my eyes
is WAY cool though.

I can only say one thing: When I grow up, I want to be JUST like him.

15. Very cool--but not quite to the point of being dangerous..
I was even once a trendsetter--remember he guy pony tail thing form the late 80s? Yeah, I started that.

Other than that thjough, it's been a non-stop ride of pure genius inspiration that has impressed all and offended non. Yep, I am all of that PLUS a bag of chips on the side.

17. I doubt many people will see this, but damn--that's a lot of typos in my last post

I have never been a great typist, but wow.

I am getting used to a new keyboard (I'm the office ergonommist and it's kind of my job to test this stuff out) and it doesn't seem to be going well. Sigh.
