So I have been looking for a new roommate ever since the Invisible Man decided to move out. The Invisible Man was great. He was around so little that none of my friends believed I even had a roommate. Always paid rent on time, etc. Sure there were moments of craziness like when he poured hot grease down the garbage disposal and clogged the drain leading to having my basement torn up and a new pipe cut and replaced, or recently when he left the windows wide open (three weekends in a row), you know in February in New England, instead of simply turning down the heat. But all in all he has been a good guy these last 2 years and I’m a little stressed in looking for a replacement.

And one needs to go no further than Craigslist to realize that compared to some of them, The Invisible Man is a total prize.

Somehow various female models and modeling agents seem to keep finding me, and they all want to “lock-in” a commitment without ever meeting me or seeing the apartment, because they are each moving to Boston from some exotic locale. When did Boston become the height of the American fashion industry? Please, lets not tell Anna Wintour, we don’t need her here.

Several of the guys answering an ad for a “gay-friendly” roommate wanted a picture of me. Um, no. One straight guy, during his interview at my place, after learning that I have a boyfriend, decided to tell me how he freaked out his gay college roommate by jumping on his bed and "cuddling" with him. I told him I am looking for a roommate who won’t be jumping on anything, especially my bed. (Sadly, this one was very cute too).

So now it’s hitting March 1st already, and I’m beginning to think that a month or two on my own won’t be such a bad idea.
