What makes cool?

One-liners. Favourite quote. Favourite books. Favourite Movie. "I'm into:" One noun. A non-finite verb. I'm into walking. Drinking. Singing. Sinking. SCREAMING.

2D paper doll people, in the style pages. In their blogger profile. On their facebook. Myspace. Personal ads. It's a personal inventory, but impersonal, and accessible for mass consumption. I look through such listings, at first undiscerningly. Reading; she is an artist. He is into playwriting. Sally is in love with love. My brains says, "I can compete with this! I have feelings too.

Our dollars can make us so, we can buy to make our shelves full. And then we get to take inventory! Between are interests and possessions in a list, there is little blank space. So don't worry about it! That's where the boring: mistakes, insecurities, half-interests, things we struggle with, are hiding. They will get squeezed out by the good stuff, like our love of asian fusion cuisine. Phoebe is into longboarding.
