still looking for a roommate

What I'm looking for:

You are a foreign exchange student from the nearby art college, here only for a semester or two. Coming from where you're coming from, my neighborhood seems very posh and your room very well equipped. You have few friends and no love interests, yet are in possession of a sunny disposition. You eat very rarely and when you do, you make little mess nor smell. Occasionally, when you are feeling homesick, you will prepare a 5 course meal from your homeland and since you come from a large family, this meal will be able to feed many of my friends. You enjoy spending time in your room, gazing out the window at the lovely view of the neighboring apartment building and wondering about the lives displayed so prominently in front of you. You are a heavy sleeper not bothered by the snooze alarm going off for an hour each morning, followed by a loud thud as the clock hits the floor. Nor are you bothered by the neighbor's throaty and incessant chatter early Sunday morning as she screams out to her friends who are honk their horns as they pull up in front of our house. You can also sleep through the neighborhood karoake klub (from wherever it comes) Thursday through Saturday nights.

Because you are in school, you are at home mostly during the day but can be found at the library dutifully studying in the evenings. You are the proud owner of a suitable-sized bladder which permits you to sleep peacefully through the night. When you are feeling a little bit down, sweeping and mopping cheer you up! As does petting my loud and emotionally neglected kitty. And watering the plants!

Because you have received a lump sum for your study abroad, you would prefer to pay for all 6 months of rent in advance. Even though you do not actually have a computer, you are still willing to split the DSL bill. As a strong conservationist, you will not turn on the furnace no matter how cold and instead prefer to just bundle up. You are an avid recycler and enjoy taking the recycling out on Tuesday nights. You are equally enthusiastic about my overlywrought composting system and also dedicated to the maintenance of a weed-free yard (both front and back).

I know you are out there. And I will wait until I find you. Or until I am broke enough to compromise.
