Status update:

11/20/1895 I was finally given a name...Helium...after the sun, Helios, where I supposed only exist. Don't they know I'm on Earth also?

1/1/2013 Up,up,up,and away! I finally got to see the International Space Station through the film of a balloon!

10/9/2013 They say I can't sustain a relationship... Truth is, I just can't attach with anyone.

10/28/2013 Hello? Anyone to bond with? I'm already billions of years old. My youth won't last much longer. -forever alone-

10/29/2013 I remember when Carbon and I were best friends in elementary school. Then a few million years later, he left me with his millions of relationships. One day, I will be like him in millions of balanced chemical equations proving the law of conservation of mass (matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction), but sadly, today is not the day (nor is any day).

Overview:

I am colorless.

I am a gas at room temperature.

My boiling point is 4.22 degrees Kelvin or 268.93 degrees Celsius.

My density is 214 kg per m^(-3)

I am a noble gas.

Activities & Interests:

I enjoy flying, especially in balloons.

I like the feeling of electric current running through me turning me pink.

I spend most my time trying to escape the helium tank. There's so much pressure in there!

As for reacting, I'm too lazy too do that... (I just can't react with anyone/sustain a relationship *sob*).

Places:

4.57 BCE-was at the surface of the sun. "It's so hot."

5/5/1824-was in a balloon. "Weeeee!"

5/27/1953-was at the peak of Mount Everest. "I was first."

Since the big bang-was/is with nobody. "I'm just too cool for others (not really)."

 Me and my friends - Around the World

Flying with carbon and hydrogen bonded together to form rubber. I'm feeling so much peer pressure that I want to explode outwards.

Traveling through space with oxygen in a solar flare. I'm about to cause a geomagnetic storm on Earth. *evil laugh*

Glowing white-orange b/c of all the electricity passing through me.

-feeling extremely hyper  

Being concentrated into a laser with neon. Together, our colors form an extremely bright red-orange. 

I'm really fired up today. I'm burning with Carbon and Hydrogen in the form of methane as natural gas.

-feeling full of fire
