About Me



I work at a national institute,
Just another face in a red jumpsuit,
I did a good job cleaning up the place,
But my bosses didn't like me so they shot me into space.

BTW, I'm told that my myspace instant message thing doesn't work. At least, I'm told that I've been instant messaged on here, but nothing has ever popped up on my end indicating that someone is trying to IM me. This is possibly because 90% of the time I'm on myspace, I'm on a Linux platform. Regardless, if you're trying to IM me, and I don't respond, it's not that I'm ignoring you! If you want to IM me, hit me at CoatOfAnger on AIM. Cheers.

April 2006: maintaining a Top 8 is too difficult, so I changed it to a list of people I'm related to, inanimate objects and people I've never met... No offense meant by any non-inclusions; it's just too difficult to rank people!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



The men must all be very old,
The women warm, the champagne cold.
It's under these conditions that he camps here.
