How Are You This?

[Incompl te]

I was thinking today. A thought that kept me wondering for a good half hour was; 'What makes you cool?'.

Sure we see people in our everyday lives as cool but what is it about them or what they do that makes them cool?

Which also brings us to other names, such as nerd/nerdy and geek/geeky. Sure for nerd it can be as simple as 'Someone who is obsessed with work/study/etc.'. But how obsessed do you have to be before you turn normal/average into nerd?

Same goes for geek; defined as 'someone who specializes in a certain field/s'. How specialized do you have to be before you turn normal into geek?

This can be used for many upon many groupings, such as jocks, goths, emos, and softcore and hardcore gamers let alone gamers themselves. What do you think?

It's impossible to correctly judge ones self therefore its all about how other people perceive you. One person could consider me a geek and someone else could view me as cool. That doesn't make me cool or geeky, that just makes me cool or geeky in that persons view.

I'm nothing. I managed to avoid the entire cliche thing back in School and really no longer give a damn what people call me now that I'm not in school.

I like to think I'm cool because I don't care. Like Batman! SO I'M COOL BECAUSE I'M BATMAN!

Damn I'm cool.

ME makes me cool.
Eh, I sometimes think I'm cool for being able to outweird anyone I've ever met, but that might be a problem more than a plus.

being good at parkour makes you cool

geek/nerd, dressing up in sci fi costumes is the epitome of nerdiness

goths can be classified as retards who dress in black and have black make up and ***** about the world and emos are goths who are overly emotional and cut themselves

but I also classify goths and emos as target practice

in short:

Spoiler: this is the definition of cool

sonic is the epitome of cool, forget the games just focus on the awesomeness that is sonic

but don't worry,

Spoiler: take solace in this

THIS is cool.

I don't really think of people or even myself in terms of "cool." I only find people to be minutely interesting.

Cool is one of those terms I reserve for anything else like "hey that's a pretty cool band" or something.

Well okay I'll admit I do sometimes refer to people with the term but it's always over some sort of personality trait that I can get along with.

Damn skippy!

Other people make you cool or nerdy or whatever other label you may have. There is no objective criteria for any of them.

I consider myself to be a Dreamer above all else. Outcast-ish, Average/Plain, Slightly Nerdy, a Casual-Gamer. Basically a child; cleverly disguised as an adult.

I have little personal respect, but I'm not stupid either. I own a lack of confidence during most situations but at the same time my sense of justice has led me to prove to the right people that they shouldn't mess with people I care about. Kinda like one of those seemingly meek individuals who, when cornered or threatened, bite back viciously.

I don't consider myself "cool" by any means though. No Hero role for me! I'm more like the ultimate supporting character.

That raises the question of how a protagonist in a game/book/movie/play/etc. is nearly always potrayed as a cool person/animal/inanimate object. How do we know they're cool? How do the people who make these characters know people will see them as cool?

I believe confidence with ability makes someone cool while a geek is someone who bites the heads off chickens at a fair and if you know that's what a geek originally meant than you are a nerd.

My thought process divided those two subjects as separate. I wasn't saying that the hero was cool. It was more used to describe my point of view. Sorry.

 

[iTz Br3nd3n]

if you go around defining yourself as cool it makes you seem egotistical witch i am for, but theres no real measurement of cool. unless u count doing a double heel flip down a 5 stair cool then i am SUPER COOL

 

[the captain]

I'm cool because my mom told me I am!!!
