Does anyone know where I can buy anti-average deodorant?

I was in the Breakfast Club recently and one of the lines is "Everyone can do something".  Ever since we're young, we're told that we can do whatever we want, that everyone's good at something. 

What if you're not good at anything?  What if you can't do anything particularly well?  Where does that leave you?

Actually, where does that leave me?

There's absolutely nothing special about me.  I'm not good at anything, and I'm terrible at plenty of things.  I have no real talents.  I'm not pretty, but I'm not a horrendous monster either, I'm plain.  Everything about me is

 Plain.

Boring.

Average.

But, I guess  I'm okay with that.  I may be the least interesting being on the planet, but at least I have some pretty interesting people to keep me company and mask the odor of average that emanates off of my body.

    I like the metaphor.
    I don't like the pessimism, that's my thing.
    I do however want to say that you are one of the most awesome people I've ever met, which is a noticeably not average thing to be.
    Just saying.

    (Ironically the antibot thingy for this comment is soar)

    My dear MK, you really think you're plain and boring?
    Well remember, during storytime, I told you that you were the most interesting person I have ever met?
    I MEANT THAT!
    And I love you. <3 (:
