I want to BE like this girl

Random request for a roommate I found online. Her description encompasses every trait I wish I had. Thought that was kind of interesting and seeing how she'll prob never stumble across this I thought I'd post the blurb just for my own reference.


"Hey! i'm a montreal kid, and i'm moving to -----! I'm lookin for some like minded kids to live with, maybe some people who'd rather hit the guitar (or the slide whistle, or the accordeon) than the t.v.


who might share my insatiable love affair with bikes, who like making food that doesn't have meat in it, who don't smoke cigarettes in the house, who might like my cat... (certified as the awesomest cat ever born)
who like to play outside and put art all over the place

i have lots to contribute to your household! i'll make bread! i'll let you play my guitar/accordeon/drumset! (oh yeah, i have a drumset) (err, and a trumpet)
my cat will amuse you and if you're lucky keep you warm at night!
i'll cook awesome stirfries and lasagnas and lentil burgers from scratch!
i'll teach you how to silkscreen, knit, crochet, sew, fix bikes, grow plants, dumpster dive, stencil, and squirt cream into your coffee in such a way that it looks like a latte, when in fact it is only normal coffee with cream!
(how could you possibly pass that one up?)

i'm good at unplugging drains and caulking bathtubs.
you'll be able to practise your french or spanish with me. (if either of those are your first language, all the better...)"



Everything in red are things I wish I could do. I feel like such a boring person. Half-assed and not living up to the person who I've always wanted to be but haven't had the time/energy/bravery(?) to be. I still have time.. instead of living with my KD eating, shop-a-holic, comformist roomates who dress me up like a doll and send me out to the clubs perhaps I should of found a shitty place downtown where I could paint the walls and smoke joints out my window with this girl. Oh well. Maybe artists next year.. her trumpet sounded annoying anyway!

She sounds neat but the go-getter, do-everything, play-a-trumpet might get to me after awhile, I don't know about you...hee hee.

Though lots of that stuff (not the dumpster diving) is stuff I wouldn't mind trying...if I didn't love reading, watching tv, and drinking wine on the front porch so much that is. Ummm, whoops. :)

*goes off to fume some more about the stupid roommate and her anti-refugee beliefs*
