What would make me cool??

I have no idea what to write on here, but I thought that for the two people who actually look at this page (on not so regular a basis now), I would write something.
Do you remember when you were young and going through life how you would see people doing their day to day things and think....."they are cool. I want to do that"?
Well there have been a few times in my life that I have done that. Here are the things that I though were "cool" when I was young.
1. The people who came to your school and got you out of class so you could go to the gym (or other performance space) and watch them perform skits about not doing drugs or drinking or the importance of being in school. They were cool.
2. People who worked on boardwalks. They always had those cool name tags that hung on lanyards around thier necks and their keys were always attached to their arms by those neon telephone chord thingys. They were cool.
3. Anyone who worked in a theatre. At all. They were and still are cool.
4. Cheerleaders. Come on....they throw each other in the air and make pyramids with their bodies...the outfits....not so cool. But Cheerleaders. They are cool.
5. And not so long ago I thought educators for hair companies were cool. They always had cool hair, cool clothes and no matter who they are, you always think they know more than you do about your industry...even though they may not....they appear to. They are way cool.

So looking back on my life, I guess I have been a pretty cool person. (Funny the things that I thought were cool when I look back on them). Here is what makes me cool from my childhood eyes.

1.In 1997ish I did a school tour with a show called "The Word Monster". There were 4 of us and it was a tedious 4 weeks. We would do 2 shows a day all across PEI. Usually leaving our houses at around 6 am to make the schools that were far away. So....4 people stuck in a small van packed with gear that stinks, who are slowly plotting how to kill each other by the end of it. (Not you Laura).....Not so cool.

But the kids thought I rocked!

2. For 2 years of my life I worked at the best store in the wold. It was the Fila outlet and yes.... it was on a boardwalk. Not a cool boardwalk like Cavendish...it was the North River Causway, and it sometimes smelled bad when the water wasn't moving properly.... and the store was never busy regardless of how cool it was. I did have a lanyard nametag...but no key on a phone cord.

I thought I was pretty cool.

3. Theatre. Well for those of you who are reading this. You know that because of that I'm cool. And for that fact!!! So are the two of you!!! YAY!

4. Hahaha. Yes. As sad as it is, I was a cheerleader. For like 4 whole months. I didn't make the Nationals Team (deservedly so, I never went to the gym). So I stopped cheerleading....but I still teach the lifts to almost EVERY high school production I SM.

Those kids think I'm cool. (Actually they used to. I think I'm too old now to be considered cool of hot by those guys now. Sorry Shawnte.....I think that goes for you too).

5. Now this is what truly makes me cool.
I am now an educator for the coolest hair product company in the world. AG hair cosmetics. I teach my first class in a week or so, and I know that those people are going to listen to me and learn from me and that's truly cool.

I guess this is a pre-lifter for my birthday. I will be 29 this month and I actually feel good about it. I think I am doing okay in my life and looking back.....if anyone thought the thing were cool that I did....then I have been considered cool by a lot of people. So, when I get bummed on the 20th, (which may well happen for a few seconds), I can read this post and think. Hey... I'm WICKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then I will think, I need to go back to school to learn proper spelling and grammar.
Sorry for all the mistakes Ali.
