I'm so cool I didn't even know I was cool. At all.

So one of my favorite stores, Raygun, has a new T-shirt on the shelves that proclaims, "I listened to NPR before it was cool." In what is a likely a telltale sign that I am most definitely NOT cool, I did not realize that listening to public radio had become cool and am not really sure how to handle this revelation that something I do is considered "cool." It got me wondering if some of the other things I do had suddenly become cool. Please let me know if any of the following have become cool or are likely to become in the near future:

• saying things like, "Oooh! It's almost 9 o'clock! We can go to bed soon!"
  
• watching "Top Chef" when it first airs and then watching it again when it is rerun over the weekend
• wondering if a statistical detail of a sporting event is nationally significant and then actually going to the trouble of looking it up (or, actually, any obsession with/mild interest in sports statistics)
  
• facial depilitory
• knowing how to use a semicolon
• taking pictures of your food at restaurants
• watching CSPAN (and possibly even CSPAN2)
• being able to recite all the presidents in order of service and all the U.S. states in alphabetical order as a result of past elementary school choral performances
• Al Gore crushes
• pen/marker collecting
• watching Sesame Street as an adult
  
• unflattering, uncontrollable, pants-peeing laughter
• actually having Erasure songs on one's iPod
  
• vacuuming mishaps

Because I'm gonna want the T-shirt.
