lonely hearts: missed connections

CAN’T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD

We were both in the anatomy lab at 4 PM on Thursday.

I was that guy with the glasses, a white shirt and a red tie.

You were at an anatomy cart with my classmates crowded around you, lying extremely still and not uttering a single word.

I couldn’t help but notice you from across the room, with your long, skinny limbs and your pale, sallow skin.

You had such a strange, yet enticing smell, like formalin and isopropyl alcohol.

From that day on I haven’t been able to get you out of my mind.

I couldn’t get up close to you, but perhaps you’d feel the same way as I do once you get to know me?

I’d like to get to know you better. Let’s go out for coffee sometime.

CHEM WHIZ LOOKING 4 LAB (& BEDROOM) PARTNER

Looking for a person consisting of both Oxygen and Neon… the ONe for me. Someone who’s Copper and Tellurium. CuTe. I’m looking for someone with a free radical just like me. Once we’ve made a bond, I’d love to pair our electrons. I do things on the table, periodically. The thought of us making sweet organic chemistry should send shivers down both our spines.
