I like lukewarm showers in the summer.

I like it when the weather is lukewarm.

Oddly enough, there have been a few people throughout my life who have admitted to me that they and others saw me as, "cool, mysterious, and intimidating." I've asked what they meant by that and I get similar answers of people thinking it's cool how I do my own thing and carry the vibe that I don't care what others think--being, "unapologetic about being weird." Coupled with the fact I rarely ever speak, some people interpret that as coolness I suppose.

I've always felt that being, "cool" is more of a way of carrying yourself/state of mind more than activities you're interested in. I could be very wrong though, that's just my experience.

I've tried all my life to be the opposite of cool! I show my feelings and if people don't like it, that is their problem.

I'm more jolly and sensitive than I am cool. I can't help you in this department.

I have gotten this reaction as well. I've decided to think of myself as "cool, mysterious, and intimidating" 8)

I'm nerdy, not intimidating, and people always know my motives...

There is no "mystery" to me.

Yet, when I look at your profile pic, I think of one of Tony's guys, you know, Tony Soprano.

I'm like, damn, I bet this guy could kick my a**.
