I am here for Friends

About Me

Sometimes I feel like a spaceman from the future.

My Interests

toothpicks, dental appliances, experienced periodontals, necklaces made from the teeth of conquered foes, toe rings, slap bracelets, thumbtacks, the little pieces of plastic and cardboard that come inside of dress shirts, snails, the little rubber wedges that people use to keep doors open with, individual packets of half and half, coffee stirrers, the way towels smell after I've been using them too long because I know the next time I take a shower I get to smell one that's totally clean, having probably the world record for never getting a rash from my deodorant, bottle caps, tape that's sticky on both sides (how do they do that!????), taking the spirals out of spiral notebooks to damage their pride and crush their dreams of being more than just paper, anesthesiology, horse tranquilizers, taking the grounding prong off of electrical plugs to add an element of danger to my life, setting schedule alarms in my phone to remind me of my own birthday, getting an ice cream cone with rainbow sprinkles and licking the colors off one by one, alphabetizing my hamsters, finding long mystery hairs on my garments because I have short hair so it's like "who put this here? was a stranger wearing my cod piece?", the little balls of dust that form when I don't vacuum for awhile because it's molecular science at work!, sand, hourglasses, tupperware, collecting zippers and organizing them by size and how loud they zip, powdered sugar, power strips, rug tassles, space, manning space, being a man in space, spaces I might potentially occupy, spaces I have previously occupied but which still exist in the future so I can exist in them again, the future, being from the future, people who don't know I'm from the future so I can go "dude, I'm from the future!" and then they're all weirded out because I know they're going to get fat in a few years but they don't know it yet and they're pretty sure I know that but the doubt causes them to feel weird but then I tell them I'm also a spaceman and then we're cool, people who know I'm from the future but don't think it's such a big deal but then they find out I'm also a spaceman and then they think it's a pretty big deal, the fact that none of the crap in my profile is clickable because I know secret internet codes

I'd like to meet:

Nobody! Leave me alone!
