I want to be a cool kid!!!

[isyne4u]

Now I find out that people don't like you if you are part of a clique or if you play games or do exchanges. My PM box has never been full (probably never will) and I have no reason to post under a different user name.

But if I post inane drivel such as why am I bad parent or you'll never believe what my kid said/did then I won't be liked either.

I don't have any real important questions to ask....okay well the mom jeans question was important but that's the only one I've ever asked.

How am I supposed to become a cool kid. WAH!

I guess I'll have to go find another MB to become important on (will a giant YAGE help me become cool?????? )

tara...never gonna be a cool kid...

Anyone named Tah-rah is automatically cool. C'mon, you didn't know that?!!!

I got this from the net, so you know it's true. This is your lucky day...how to be cool:

# Act like you don't care what people think of you. We will always, on some level, be concerned with others' opinions of ourselves, but realize that ultimately, you'll never be able to please everyone, so why bother trying? People have millions of ways to get under your skin. Learn to spot them and become immune.
# Be aware of how people perceive you. This might seem to contradict step 1, but there's a difference in letting people's judgements affect your self esteem, and being aware of how you come off to others. In terms of physical appearance, beware of food getting stuck in your teeth, bad breath, body odor, toilet paper stuck to your shoe, etc. In terms of composure, try not to stare (it makes people uncomfortable), stand/sit up straight (it makes you look and feel more confident), smile generously, be polite and considerate, etc.
# Present yourself in a way that makes you feel the most comfortable and confident. If that means wearing the jacket that makes you feel like a comic book superhero, then wear it! Even if people snort about it when you walk by, remember that ultimately, you'll feel ten times more uncomfortable wearing something that just isn't you.
# Find real friends. For example, if people don't hang out with you because you don't wear designer clothes, they are not real friends. Instead, find friends that see you who for who you are. If the people standing in front of you can't see you for you, then how can they be your friend?
# Don't be afraid to be different, whether that means standing up for yourself, defending someone else, or taking interest in something that no one else does, like playing an instrument or dancing when no one else will. The coolest people are the ones who occasionally break against the tide and make people question the status quo.
# Don't lose your cool. If you feel yourself about to lose your temper, or burst into tears, or lose control in any way, take a deep breath and excuse yourself.
# Learn how to laugh at yourself. Being cool doesn't mean being perfect, and being able to find humor in your moments of clumsiness and discomfort is the defining hallmark of being cool. People will not only respect you for it, but they'll like you for being human, just like them.
# Add some style to your wardrobe. Sunglasses, metal jewelry...anything can work if done right.
# Practice your cool walk; everyone has there own cool walk so try to find your own. Try it really, really, slow, or really, really, fast kind of like your running. See what works for you.
# Try writing a list of all of the goals you are aiming for.

Right now I'm practicing my cool walk.

Ooh, ooh! I'm posting under a different username! Does that make me cool?

 

[luvmydogs]

Well, we in the T&B thread are certainly ready for your special brand of coolness--you just don't come visit us enough!

Uh, although I wouldn't blame you if didn't stop by anymore...

Now thats stuck in my head

 

[isyne4u]

Duck...I like those rules...maybe the whole cb should be reminded of some of those!!

MushyMushy...I think i know who you are but I'm not sure why you have a differrent user name...so I guess you must be cool because wth 15 posts you already have the tag fairy in your pocket!!!

Luv...I need to get out more...I spend my time at the YaYa Disneyland Resort and forget to get out and see the rest of the world.

(today is easy I only have one kid and he is entertaining himself...so I can play for a bit!! hehehehe)

 

[Bbgrizzle]

Duckfan, thanks for the. . . uh. . .tips. That was funny! But I guess maybe we need to be reminded of the basics once in a while.

Tara: I think you are one groovy gal. Don't feel bad. We like you. Maybe this will help:

Hey TARA!

How YOU doin'?

You had me at hello.

Really anyone who starts a Mom Jeans thread is cool in my book

ps- I am a dork though, so maybe not the best judge

I like dorks becaue that is how I describe myself!! And I found a solution to the mom jean problem....I wear the same jeans but leave my t-shirts untucked, pull my hair into a lousy pony tail, and don't put any make up on...then no notices my mom jeans!!

Bbgrizzle...No no how YOU doin??

I gotta check out hiwaygal's video...back later!

Rock on with your bad self. I do believe the monocle is going to be IT for fall 2006. You heard it here first.

thanks a lot! Now it's in my head!

At least it got rid of that stupid "Life Is a Highway" song that they play over and over and over and over on Disney channel.

The handlebar mustache is also going to be important for the season, but whatever you do, DO NOT combine the monocle with the handlebar mustache or you'll NEVER be a cool kid. (Unless your name is Tah-rah, in which case you're automatically cool )

I concur. There's been many a time I've driven past an ER and seen the carnage caused by a monocle stuck in a handlebar mustache. And usually these same clowns are trying to divert attention from their face with some lame dance like the mashed potato.

Uncool.
