Coolness
I think that as adults we never really stop wanting to be cool. I never really think of myself as being all that cool. I think I’m outside of the in crowd, whatever that means. And then I realize that there are other people who seem to think I’m pretty cool, and maybe they think I am in the in crowd, and well I just don’t know.
Well anyway I’m glad I’m not 15 anymore. It’s a lot easier to handle at 40.

Well….. I think I’ve accepted my “uncoolness” but I wish I could be cooler.
Oh, gosh, my boyfriend is so alike! He is so cool but he never admits it.
I have so embraced my uncoolness that I joined an LGBT square dance group.
She’s a bit on the high-maintenance side, ain’t she?
I think being cool & being part of the in crowd are 2 very different things. I actually think real coolness involves being true to oneself so, by that definition, you are the height of cool.
I pretty much agree with this. If you own who you are, it makes you cool almost regardless of what you actually like. Admittedly I’m no expert on being cool. Still, it seems to me nothing is cooler than self-confidence.
The concept of ‘being cool’ feels like something the kids need to worry about. Maybe it’s just been my experience, but for the most part, cliques don’t seem as prevalent in adult society. I understand not wanting to feel OLD, but cool? not so much :p
You have always been cool to me, Tony!
