Some day, I think that I'd like to be cool. Full of pith, wit and bite, I'd be mysterious and intriguing as I lurked in corners sipping on a cool glass of something. My friend Nicole is in fact cool. Not only does she have amazing and impeccable personal style, she also just flew to Miami a few weekends ago to style a celebrities hair. While Nicole also does my hair, that doesn't really make me cool, it's just her lending me an iota of her coolness every 6 to 8 weeks.
Recent events has brought it to my attention the past few weeks that despite my most fervent hopes to be cool, it's probably not going to happen.
Cool girls have Bitch Face and I do not have Bitch Face. Instead of Bitch Face I have Let Me Feed and Snuggle You Face. While it's fail proof in seducing parents, cops, teachers and puppies, it is most assuredly not cool.
Cool people manage to take things in stride and keep their shit in check, they're...for lack of a better descriptor...coooool. I on the other hand tend to get inordinately excited over common place or even mundane happenings. The little old lady who waved and gave me the thumbs up from the passenger seat of her car while I was running? Yup, completely made my run and to be honest, the rest of my day.
I'm not particularly graceful, I have a penchant for attempting maneuvers far above my skill level and then masterfully landing on my butt or hurting myself in front of lots of people. Its one of many reasons that I can most often be found in flip-flops. I can't hold my liquor and I can't take shots, two must have skills for the cool girl set so I'm told. I still love the Anne of Green Gables books series, and while I've admitted that I might as well cop to the Twilight series and the Little House on the Prairie books. I like museums and libraries and would rather spend a day at either one rather than attend the Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party for even one more minute of my life. I think that someday I'd really like to learn to knit, it seems like a productive and useful skill to have.
So yeah, I think that maybe it's time to give up on chasing the ghost known Coolness. I think that I'm pretty well okay with that too.
