Calcium

 Quote:

I'm calcium and I absolutely love to travel! I have also recently discovered that I'm not really into the whole relationship thing. I am, not high maintenance per say, but I just expect a lot of people and always seem to get let down. 

Status update:

10/9- Just visited ancient ruins in Greece, it was rockin'.

10/10- Take cover! Here I come, burning bright orange!

10/11- Moo! Baby cows seem to have a thing for me as well!

11/3- Wow the single life sure is fun. I can go out to eat junk food and eat in bed and no one cares! Woo, single for life!

11/4-Chillin' in a chemical equation, the scales seem to be tipping a bit here though! Eek, I seem to have fallen!

Overview:

I am the fifth most popular element on here! It may not seem like it, but I happen to be a huge softy and, despite what it seems, I am really nice and love to hang out with other elements. In fact, you can almost never find me by myself!  I have a silver complexion which makes me stand out. I am mostly found in ionic bonds as the cation, very rare to find me anywhere else, but not impossible!

Activities & Interests:

I love to study old animals that have been extinct for years. They have such an interesting history and tell me a lot about creatures from that time. I also enjoy dressing up, but I find that whenever I do, I just look kind of dull. 

Places:

10/9- Athens, Greece To see the ruins of Ancient Greece.

10/10- Sacremento, California  To watch some patriotic people blow up fireworks!

10/11- Caroll, Iowa To visit some of my favorite mammals in the world! Cows. 

11/4- On your test I sure hope you know how to balance chemical equations!

 Me and my friends - Around the World

Got milk? I love to play hide and seek in tall glasses.

Boo! Halloween is coming! Guess what I'm going to be.

Ka Boom! I glow a bright orange when set on fire. Not that I have ever tried it before or anything.

A picture I took a while back with some friends I was in a band with. We were called calcite.  Carbon and Oxygen

Yum a tum tum tum!  One of my more colorful outfits for sure!
