I'm So Not Cool Because.....

OK...so I was emailing with some friends today, and we were making confessions about what dorks we were as teenagers...i.e. Shawn Cassidy fans, attended Barry Manilow concerts, etc. (NO - I'm not telling! And Yes, they post to this board, too.)

So here at work we were talking about movies.

I've decided that I'm So Not Cool Because...

I found This Is Spinal Tap a complete and utter bore. I resent that I will never have that 2 hours back.

Who wants to play?

Oh, I could play this for hours. I'm a bit of a misfit. :)

I'm so not cool because...

I've seen High Society (Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly) about 25 times, and I love it.

AJ, enjoying life with C.

I hope we aren't talking about movies, because this has nothing to do with movies.

I'm Not So Cool Because . . .

Weed never agreed with me. I was always the one who over did it and would sit over in the corner paranoid out of my mind. I literally remember people pointing and laughing! If that wasn't the case, I would completely forget who I was, where I was, and how to behave like a normal person. My friends would sit idly by, being themselves. They'd maybe be a little more philosophical or reallllly mellow. Not me, I'd make jokes that nobody got, would be overly animated, would laugh so hard that I peed my pants and, I did on several occasions. I eventually learned to just pass it on.

I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Yeah, I was not the cool one. I was the dork, the spaz!

Oooh Ooooh! I want to play!

I am REALLY not cool at all. (Does it have to be only movies?)

Okay here goes -

I've never seen "Heathers," "Pretty in Pink," or "Porky's."

I hated "There's Something About Mary." I was the only one in the theater NOT laughing.

(Television) I hated "Friends" and "Sex and the City."

And I've been to a real live Star Trek convention.

Do I win? :)

No - this isn't about movies - it's about the Inner Dork in all of us. LOL

I used to LOVE maryjane. No hangover. Great high. Lots of laughs. And then a nice sound sleep.

I went to a comic convention a few years ago - one of my best friends was a graphic artist for one of the companies. Had a blast. And let me tell you - when a reasonably attractive woman flirts with those guys, she can pretty much get whatever she wants.

I got the prototype of the Staypuft Marshmallow Man Bobble Doll from Ghostbusters.

And all I had to do was bat my eyelashes. LOL

Oh

My

G-d....LMAO.

You are the Queen of So Not Cool. You batted your eyelashes and this is what you go home with? LMAO - seriously? LOL - and the dude has serious Dunlap disease. Star Trek convention goer gets a close 2nd with the Pot Princess bringing up 3rd. So far. But all the stories are hilarious.

I am So Not Cool because.......

I was obsessed with Charlie's Angels when I was in junior high. Every picture I could find of them in Tiger Beat, the TV Guide, their own magazine, ANY magazine was taped on my closet. My two sisters and I dressed up like them all summer for however many summers they were on TV. I wanted to be Farrah Fawcett so bad. Remember the Fawcett faucet necklace? Yeah, I had it. I even have THAT poster. I learned how to french braid on my Farrah head. Remember that toy? It's the only toy I remember getting and I was 13! I did her makeup and hair every day. I bet my parents thought I was lesbian for long time....lol.

Oh, I love Friends!! Sorry. :) Back on topic.

As for the weed, I've never smoked, so...I don't feel like I'm missing anything, but I guess it's not "cool."

I've seen Father of the Bride about 50 times...yeah, I'm a major geek.

I haven't seen Anchorman, Talladega Nights, many of the Will Ferrell comedies (except Stranger Than Fiction, which was completely different and actually really good)...again, I don't really mind, but every time I tell someone I get the same response: "You HAVEN'T???" as if I've told them I've never eaten pizza...or something. :)

I've never smoked pot either, so you're not alone.

I'm not even sure where to start - or how much to divulge (hi, I'm new here by the way - get to know me by finding out what a dork I was!)
When I was 15, my boyfriend dumped me... I'm pretty sure it's 'cause I was afraid to kiss him. My first kiss was at 18. I saw Dirty Dancing for the first time when I was 16 or something - didn't know what all my friends were talking about. I loved inspirational quotes & X-files (which became "cool" in a "dorky" way). Loved school. In high school, would only do stuff if my little crowd was or if one of my friends was going along too. No, we weren't one of the cool cliques.
So hi, nice to meet you all. How do you like me so far? Think I'll stop there...
