I'll volunteer to be your normal roommate. You can be the funny party guy and I'll play the OCD introvert. Do you know any chicks we can invite to our house warming party? I knew one, but from what I've read I don't think Sour Girl will show up (for the love of god, at least refer to me as a guy - that dress was ceremonial only).

Best Buy. Ask a member of the Geek Squad

I need more Cowbell!В®

That rules out GCG but at least he wouldn't try to stab you with a knife. I guess that's about the only silver lining I can find Kev.

I'll be your roommate. I promise I won't stab you in your sleep.

I cannot, however, guarantee that I will not fiddle with your pork sword whilst you sleep.

Sour Girl в™Ґ you

Dude! Get a second job. I had a roommate that was a paranoid schizophrenic. She was stalking her former employer, she used my phone to make 700 phone calls in one month (she would call people and hang up on them. Plus, she ate all my pizza and drank all my wine. After a year of living with me the cops knocked on my door and took her away.

You can post an ad on Graig's list and interview people. I would have an older lady live with me. They seem less threatening.

i'll be divorcing my husband soon,
and possibly looking for a roommate, too.
geez i hope you don't end up with me.

Look for article postings, and definitely schedule a time to go and meet with the potential roommate. If after a first interview or meeting you feel you may be comfortable living with that person, ask them to go out and do something if you think you want to learn more about the person.

Baby tiger meww meww

Well, all I have to say that you should be careful who you choose to live with.

I have no idea how may you can find the right person. See if friends or family can help you in this or even an ex girlfriend.

family member is your safest bet(cousin, etc). there's no guarantee anyone'll 100% respect your stuff

Don't watch Single White Female... lol

You never really know.

Try asking friends if they (or anyone they know) is looking for a place to stay (make sure they have stable jobs).

If you can't find anyone, then you can try putting out ads - ask for references, and use your best judgement.

Good luck!

If you have any responsible friends or siblings just ask them!
