What is unique that's not in your bio?
I'm having a hard time coming up with something. Maybe what's unique about me is how there is nothing unique about me. Was that profound? Maybe. A cop out? You betcha.
How do you define cool?
Just be yourself and live life on your own terms. I'm aware of how uncool that sounds, but I don't care; and that makes me cool. Right? If that's not cool just let me know and I'll change it.
What is your secret to uncovering trends?
I just started, so for now I'm going to say searching for things I'm already interested. I search for things I know, or things I want to know or would like to know. That way it makes the search more enjoyable. Hopefully I'll come up with an actual system the more I do this, so I'll get back to you.
