Perenial outcast of the COOL CLUB
Posted by kusela on July 27, 2006
It has always been with me that I was never the really cool kid with all the cool toys. I would be cool for a while but sooner or later I ran out of cool stuff and was then ignored by the others. At parties I would be having a conversation with somebody and it would be going well till one of the COOL KIDS showed up. These people always had something better to talk about, a more interesting life, access to better rumors, new interesting ideas…you get the picture. I thought that all this would change on-line but it has not. Even though you can reinvent yourself and only be your best qualities on-line I still find that I do not garner the attention that the COOL KIDS do. I cannot get people to read my posts, visit my site, leave comments, argue with me, anything really. What does it take to make an IMPACT. Is there a magic formula for being a COOL KID. Maybe you are just born with it and nobody can truly be included in the COOL CLUB except from birth.
Now about the COOL CLUB itself. Every faction of socioty has a COOL CLUB. The Nerds, Jocks, Musicians, etc. You could be included in activities of the GROUP but you had to be special to be in the GROUPS inner circle or the COOL CLUB. You could talk to anybody in the GROUP but could be tossed to the side if a menber of the groups COOL CLUB joined in the conversation. These special members are called the COOL KIDS. Now do not get me wrong, you may get the chance to talk to one of the COOL KIDS and for a while you feel like you belong to the COOL CLUB but alas another COOL KID would come along and you would be dropped. COOL KIDS were not mean, well some were, but not all of them they were just more interesting than the other MEMBERS of the GROUP.
So you see it was hard being UNCOOL and always having to be second fiddle to the COOL KID.
This has happen to me on the internet. I am part of the GROUP but never a COOL KID. I cannot command attention long enough to become part of the COOL CLUB.
