I'm Not Cool

I was pretty sure about this before, but it has been officially confirmed today.
I'm not cool.
I didn't know what "emo" was, and turns out I think "emo" sucks now that I know what it is.
I drive a white minivan. Uncool.
I drink diet soda. Uncool.
I buy candles (and spend good money on them, too). Uncool.
I currently wear only one band t-shirt (as fate would have it, I'm wearing it today). It's from a Sugar Ray concert (which I though was cool, but since I don't know cool, it probably wasn't) and I cut the sleeves and neck off and gathered it at the shoulders so that it's nice and summery. Uncool.
I don't even know what kind of clothes are cool anymore. I generally go with Levis and a fitted t-shirt. I'm sure that's not cool.
I don't know what TV shows are cool. The only things I watch with any regularity are SNL, South Park, and the Simpsons. Probably not cool anymore.
I don't know how to play Yu-Gi-Oh cards (I probably even spelled it wrong!), and I don't think I'll ever figure that out. Uncool.
The list of concerts I have under my belt include: Bush, Goo Goo Dolls, No Doubt, Collective Soul, Brian White, Tracy Lawrence, Sugar Ray, Snoop Dogg, and RHCP. Are any of those still cool?
My cell phone doesn't close and I can't clip in onto my hip. I have to put it in my pocket or worse, my purse. My ringtone is Jingle Bells (changed from Coldplay's Clocks). Uncool.
My computer can't be put in a backpack and carried into Starbucks. It's big and black and it sits on a desk. Uncool.
Even my seven year old thinks I'm uncool.
When did I become so lame (do they even use that word anymore)?
Maybe I'm making too big a deal of it . . . maybe I'm just being "emo."
