I am Looking for....

  1. I like to live with people, have fun enjoy their company but at the same time.. I enjoy my solidarity, hence I need my own space..
  2. Having lived in a hostel for more than 15years, with immobile beds and desks my soul suffocates in an apartment complex with similar looking houses and rooms miles after miles... Hence I need identity...
  3. Being the creative person I am I need flexibility to be able to vent out my creativity, hence need enough room space and least objects to keep moving stuff here and there, when I get bored...
  4. I rarely cook, so I definitely need a microwave, and oven to survive or just somebody interested in cooking...
  5. I am very particular about cleanliness hence I expect cleanliness in the living room and kitchen area...and off course the restroom..

So here are my requirements, and I find them very simple and straight forward..atleast thats what I thought, still think and feel...Now, what am I actually looking for?

Well..just 'ROOMMATES' in an Unfurnished, house where I lived for last 2 years, after my X-roommates moved out! As I write I gather that it resembles an amazing parallel of my desirable 'LIFEMATE'.. too. I think I can forward the same list to my parents... who have been after me to get hooked...

Man, having looking for a roommate for the coming school year for over 3 months, without any success made me realize the amazing parallel between the two! Are my expectations too much, or is it just Logan, where its is next to impossible to find SINGLE GRADUATE students!! I guess if you are bi-curious choice of LIFEMATE becomes relatively easier than ROOMATE!! aaahhh!!!

Yah, you can't live with a guy here in Logan, single!! U have to be married or just lie that he is your BF!! Sometimes they don't even give houses to unmarried people here..IT SUCKS!! THE LOGAN MORMONISH culture...this is the only TIME I HATE this community..and my frustration is at peak...

My job or field, adds to that complexity further..having being in field for almost 7 months.. I kind a don't know anybody any more.. my old so called friends have either left (graduated) or moved on.. I mean paired up... so obviously they are not available as roommates !! So what do I do???

In an unknown place, with nobody left whom I knew, I can just think of starting fresh...with new roommates, new people.. BUT here comes the final PUNCH... apparently I have to sign join contracts or group contracts..its like asking me to be responsible for another unknown person, stranger for paying the bills, rent, etc etc... FEELS like the arranged marriage thing back at home...!!! JEEEZZZ it keeps following me everywhere...

Ok, I prepare myself for that.. Ok, I don't care.. will do that as long I can have my own private room and bath, I will adjust and compromise and accommodate.. BUT THEN... comes the final red cross..

"oh, we are group of 2 - 3 girls and we just want to live with ourselves... we do not want to live with a stranger"

... and there it goes... I AM LEFT with no other choice... or option... if and only if there were JUST few more SINGLE people !!! The graduate-undergraduate requirement has also been lifted...long time back.. up.. anybody, somebody... Just SINGLE...and not living with their BF's yet!

So as I swirl, juggle, and swim in the peak of my frustration, disappointment, uncertainty of finding a roommate I concluded a LIFEMATE = PRIVATE BEDROOM, whenever I find one and CONTRACT = MARRIAGE!!

... after all this bakwaas, I really wish and hope that I find a roommate as I DO NOT want to move by myself in a single cottage or studio apartment.. GOD, if you are hearing me then you better send some prospective applicants, else LORD SAVE THE WORLD, and save my PRIVATE BEDROOM!!!

PS- I really hope and wish that something comes up.. my prayer to the world...
