Kermit,

I've haven't received any inquiries about the apartment.
I emailed a few 2 BR apartments to see if we can see them because finding a roommate is impossible 

- Pepe, okay

Yabba-Dabba-Doo,

I emailed 3 guys for the room.
Potential Roommate 7- the 32 flight instructor
Potential Roommate 8 - the 27 Dream-house DJ  (who I'm rooting for)
and Potential Roommate 9 - The 9-5 enigma.

7 and 8 I emailed with the purpose of setting up a meet and greet for Friday or Sunday, or sometime next week.

9 sounded ok but he didn't say how old he was other than he was way past the 'partying stage'
so I sent him the questionnaire before I set up a meeting.

Ninja,

 For Your Amusement:

 "THE INTERVIEW"

The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had just gotten married for the fourth time. The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new husband's occupation.

"He's a funeral director," she answered.

"Interesting," the newsman thought.

He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living. She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years.

After a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when she was in her 20's, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40's, and a preacher when in her 60's, and now in her 80's - a funeral director.

The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four men with such diverse careers.

 She smiled and explained, "I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go."

Hello Grace,

It was so good to hear from you. That is very exciting that you are getting your Masters in Micro-Biology. I have my Ph.D in Aerospace Engineering and my other roommate is a Mountie in Canada; she has a very long commute everyday. We like to live with highly educated people as we like to have philosophical debates every night to broaden our minds.

Let me tell you a little more about the house and bills and such. Since the 3rd bedroom is so much bigger than the others but we all pay the same amount, the third roommate is required to do all laundry and dishes on the premises. I am sorry but I can't supply you with any pictures as I was raised Amish and do not believe in the use of technology.

Unfortunately, the numbers fell off of our house and it's raining so I can't check what number our house is, but my full real name is Angie O'Plasty. My address is in the phone book, so hopefully you can find it there.

Hope to hear from you soon

The numbers were just the order in which I got them, I wanted to show you what we've got in response so far.
But I agree something about PossibleRoommate2 was weird. From the sounds of his email address and work hours PossibleRoomate3 is a firefighter. What did PossibleRoommate1 mean by "conditions required."? but this is only what, day two? It's great that we're getting responses. I say at some point we set up interview/tour or something.

I mean I think as long as we're both there and we get an okay feeling when we talk to them we don't have to meet at a public place.

So been trying to find interview questions. Some of them are pretty basic, but nice to have written down so we don't forget. But some of my favorites I’ve found so far are:

-Are you quiet or CAN you be quiet while having sex?
-How much clothes are necessary to be in while around the house?
-Do you have some odd compulsive need to keep every hand towel in the house in your bedroom?
-Do you have a tendency to feed small wild/feral animals?

Some questions that I find funny
-How do you feel about karaoke?
-In our rock garden, what would you name your pet rock? (FYI according to the MASH app Danni’s pet rock would be named Miss Kitty)
-Batman, Superman, or Spiderman?

If they ask this question:
-If there is a dispute over bills(or anything else) how is this settled?
Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock OR finger on nose OR yelling not it.

-Nintendo

on looking at apartments for rent just in case we can’t find a roommate that seemed more and more a better possibility considering the the response -or lack there of- with roommates.


Danni: (on a 40 year old creeper on craigslist looking for roommates)  He looks like he could murder us in our sleep and he works part time for the police, so he could.
Tracey: Ooorrr he could make us awesome brunch and have a cat named Larry.

Casa de Awesome seeks Roommate

Reply to: odannigirl+traceyevidence@craigslist.org
________________________________________

Hello Potential Roommate!

We are looking for someone to help pay the rent now that our 3rd roommate is going back to school.

Casa de Awesome, as it's affectionately known, is a duplex in the middle of Town
with a super convenient convenience store right across the street,
walking distance to downtown bars, movie theater, CVS,etc...
and only a 5min drive from a grocery store.

Your room is the entire third floor, by far the largest, and with the slanted ceilings it,
like the rest of the house- with the dining room that came painted purple, the refrigerator that has it's own room, and the coloring wall
is quirky. 
The 2nd floor has 2 bedrooms and the bathroom,
And the 1st floor has the kitchen, dining, and living room.
We also have a basement with washer and dryer, and room for storage.
With the exception of your bedroom, everything is basically furnished,
Although our couch and vacuum are kinda crappy so if you have those, perfect.

Let's see. . .there is off-street parking, our landlord mows (yep that's right we have a little front and back yard) we do have to shovel snow though.

Us: A 24 and 27-year-old female professionals.
We're not neat freaks but by far going to appear i the next episode of hoarders.
We're non-smokers and prefer the same. We drink but we're not 'partiers'.
We have a growing collection of houseplants and boardgames.
We watch tv, play video games, and read--we're your typical geeks and love every minute of it.
So what do you think??

Signed,

Roommate 1 and Roommate 2
