Bog standard stereotypical geek. That's anti-cool almost by definition.

That's not cool?? I guess it would have been more "cool" to have been 30-something during the time the show "30-something" was on.

perth, watching the food network is very cool. i can only eat around 8 different foods because of my multiple food allergies, but i still love to watch the food network.
LJ, how nice of you to remind me of another uncool aspect of myself-outside of work and family members, all of my friends are "virtual"!

I'm not cool* because:

I HAVE to post in purple.
I don't have one piece of clothing that could be considered designer in any way, shape or form.
I LOVE shopping at Wal-Mart
I can go from nice person to ultra-bitch in .01 seconds for no reason and without remorse. (Usually have a reason, tho.)
I'm overweight.
I make tissue paper flowers. Well.


* What today's society generally considers "cool"

Why Im Not Cool:

I spend 50% of my paid work day here in the Celler with our Virtual Family.

I Tapestry.

Im a day dreamer. When there is something important to be done, Ill proabably be sitting in the backyard, staring into to space or listening to music or playing with the animals.

I am addicted to stationary. i could spend all day in a stationary shop in awe of all the pretty pens and pretty papers with all the pretty patterns and colours and textures and gorgeous things for writing letters and cards and textas and funky paints and stickers...... oh ill think ill have to go at linch time for a fix!! TRust me.. if your MY penpal... you'd think i'm queen of the stationary jungle or something!

Origami-like tissue paper flowers, or multiple layers of tissue paper folded into a fan, with a twisty-tie in the middle to secure it (taping to a stick optional) and then folding back the tissue paper to make the flower shape? If so, I loved those, made dozens of them as a child, particularly liked doing them in gradient shades of yellow/orange/red. If I'm thinking of the right ones ... do you cut the outer edges of the tissue paper to play with the effects?

And do you have pictures?

Uncool. Yup, that's me...

The first song I downloaded on iTunes was by the Cowsills. (I think I should win the unCool prize just for that).

I drove a VW bug in high school between the time that they were originally cool and when they became cool once more.

I don't even get cool spam.

I suck at playing guitar even tho I practiced for years. I do give myself credit for having the good sense to give up and suck at something different for a while.

I was invited to enter a talent show at one point but couldn't think of anything to do.

I can't finish a video game: I'm still not sure how much further I have to go to finish Half-Life. Damn game goes on forever! Somebody tell Clodfobble to make a 2nd version for people that suck at video games.

I tried WuShu Kung Fu for a while but wasn't graceful enough and could not remember the forms to save my life.

To summarize, I think what really makes me uncool is that I suck at all the stuff I really wish I was good at.

beestie, the cowsills are pretty cool!
barry cowsill, the bass player lives here in newport. last year, when i used to go to open mic every week, he was always there, usually shitfaced, and he'd play guitar and sing. (he liked my version of hounddog) arsen and i also partied with him at a house party when we first started dating..the guy was hitting on an 18 year old girl...he paints houses for a living now.

I sold a 1966 Mustang and now drive a 1996 Camry. That is very uncool.

Plus, I'm too fucking nice. And even though I'm nice, you know what I like about people???? Not a God damn thing.

  • I sing out loud to the songs on the radio
  • I'm overweight (for now)
  • I am a professional computer geek, so much so that other geeks look up to me.
  • I go to the movies and restaurants alone
  • Sometimes I watch chick flicks, dramas, documentaries, or foreign films when nobody is looking (usually in art house theaters)

Ah, ok...I'll confess that I am an office supply geek. I could spend days in an Office Depot or Staples...*looks down, shuffles feet..*

When I was in school, and it was time for school shopping for supplies, oh man! I couldn't wait...HA! And I had to have the coolest stuff, so whatever was the newest thing out there in, let's say, pens, I HAD to have it! (so I guess that made me "cool" as far as school supplies).
