There's a Kik group full of playgrounders that honey invited me to years ago. It was fun but SO fast paced. I couldn't keep up and silently exited. They were all great people and I appreciated the thought of being involved but at the end of the day, I prefer my stupid texts the few I chat with. I've made a few really good friends here. They're different to friends I make in the real world but no less valued or important.

I'm so uncool I have used Kik like all of twice. It's just not my thing. I never remember to check it, and I hate notifications so I turn notifications off for everything but texts, VM, and emails on my phone.

I may be derailing the conversation, but I want to ask more about this comment. I often don't have anything to say in response to a lot of what gets posted in the PG (in general, I'm not specifically talking about indie's posts). I am not a virtual *hugs* kind of person and if I ever use that rose emoji, it is done with sarcasm and/or irony.

It isn't that I'm consciously snubbing anyone - it is simply that I don't have anything to say or add. Why is that a bad thing?

So that one time you told me you really liked my skirt and used the rose emoji you were being sarcastic? *sob*

But this is something I struggle with in the PG. A lot of the threads are not designed to really induce conversation. You make your post and then the next person posts, etc. I know I can always send a PM to someone if they intrigue me but that's not really what I'm here for. I like threads like this where there is actual dialogue. It's one of the reasons I moved to the GB - and still occasionally wander over there (with my safety gear on, of course).
 
Cool kids. Do they exist. Yes. But I agree with what many have said. Parker said a lot I would agree with.

But also. There is a difference in why a person is popular. Some are just friendly and outgoing. Some are a Clique type thing. Some are just obnoxious and in your face. Some post whore the shit out of the place. There are many, many reasons.

Do I think I fall into that? Well not anymore. I believe I did at one point. For different reasons. I used to be nice to everyone. I had an AMpics thread. I was part of the Clique-ish group.

(and yes, there are KIK and Skype groups)

I've changed as time has gone on here. I'm not nice to everyone any longer. I'm a lot more bitchy. Being outside of that set of groups has made me see things in a lot different light also.

Now I see the things people have mentioned. (most of what Parker said) I also agree that the cool kids rarely ever admit to being cool (I didn't when I was popular, I didn't see myself as so, I just chalked it up to being well known for being here so long) Now I see the difference.
But I also roll my eyes now when the popular/well known/clique people say they aren't. They know they are.

My ending with many of my friendships of people that either fell into the above groups, or... uh. Other. Has made the Playground a MUCH more uncomfortable place for me now. So now I find myself staying in AMpics more again.
When you have people making snide comments to you, that have never even talked to you, you know there's talk going on behind the scenes. So I just keep more to myself now. I don't trust many any longer.


In high school. I was quiet. I was a horse person. So I mostly hung out with 4-H people. I was a farm girl. I had animals. I did dance. So nothing sports related at school. No musical talents. I had a cool car lol. After I met my husband I was even "cooler" because I could actually tell you what was under the hood.
 
Re: High School

I went to a prep school from grades 6-12. The people who went there were pretty sharp people for the most part. There was certainly a hierarchy. But it wasn’t as rough as I’ve heard other people describe. I fell maybe into the upper middle of popularity. I wasn’t on a sports team. I was uninvolved in anything at school. So that limited my popularity there. Because of where I went to school, none of my friends from school lived close, so I had friends outside of school that I hung out with way more. I’m still friends with lots of them today.
 
Pmann, why are you always talking about highschool?
Why does it always boil down to highschool with you?
That was *decades* and multiple mortgages ago.
 
I know you were all waiting to hear from the coolest of the cool kids, so everyone relax, I’m here. :cool:

I can almost guarantee that nobody I went to high school with remembers me. And I really didn’t like almost all of them. Somehow, I still considered myself cool even though I had no friends. And when I say I had no friends I mean sincerely— I had Zero friends. I had, I guess you would say Necessary Allies? Contemporaries? Well Wishers? Near-Do-Wells? Two guys I sort of hung around with at school for survival purposes. Some of it was me, I just didn’t enjoy any of the people I went to school with. I didn’t fit in with them at all. Some of it was I just wasn’t interesting to them. The weird thing is I never felt left out. I wanted to be left out. I’m weird like that.

When I got into college is when I actually made friends. Lifelong friends. I still stay in touch with many of them (and occasionally) work on projects with them to this day. It was with them that I realized I liked people more than I thought and I changed a lot.

I’m still standoffish, but mainly because I’m a loner, Dottie—a rebel.

And that is just a small sample of how I became one of the cool kids. :cool:
 
Alright. Fuck it. If HW can say it then I can too.
I’m coming out of the closet. I’m a cool kid. Now what?
 
It’s uncool to be a cool kid.
It’s also uncool to be a cool kid and not cough up the fact that you’re a cool kid.
It’s also uncool to not be a cool kid.
So basically nothing is cool.

It’s very meta.
 
The whole cool kid concept is big ball of entertainment all on it's own. I'm never sure what surprises me more. When it's people I consider friends, people I don't, or people whose name I struggle to place.

I don't think I can improve much on yesterday's comment^.

Is nothing cool?

Or is everything cool?

Or is it Schrodinger's cool - both cool and uncool until you open the box?

My head started spinning somewhere between line two and three. :p

Is this a "To be or not to be" take off??? :confused::confused::confused:

Whether it's cool or uncool it is what it is...your cool. Everyone posting how uncool they are here is deluding themselves.:cool:

Which is totally cool, btw.

Not the use of the word cool. :cool:
