Hi,
I am on the lookout for a new room mate. I've had several in the past that did not work out quite as well as I'd hoped for. And this time I am on the hunt for "the perfect roomie". I think and hope that elusive species is not yet extinct.
I am a medical student. As yet a single, straight, male and am wealthy as in I don't have to go and camp myself in another relatives house at meal times to get my chow. I am rather lonely. I've realised that life is much better when it's shared with people who are living, breathing and conscious. After all Willie, would never pass me the towel or go clean the toilet when I asked him to. Willie is not my dog, he's my stuffed fluffy toy bear. And no one is allowed to call him Willie except me.
I do have a dog. Mickilish Dias (yes, that is his name, people
seem to be confused that I have given him a full name like a person and
some kind of laugh, but I assure you I take my dog very seriously and
treat him with respect, and I ask that you do the same) . It would be ideal if you had a female dog of your own;
who should be of a pure pedigree (I do need to see the papers, i hope you understand) of medium to large size, and any breed will be considered (except for dalmations which will make the colouring of the offspring horrendrous) If you do not have a dog, that is also fine. If you have any other pets you want to bring in, note that I by no means guarantee their safety. I will not be liable for any damages. Applying for pet insurance is up to you.
Anyways I have only a few rules that need to be followed, other than that we'll get along fine!
I request that you listen to all music via headphones. I have mild
tinnitus and the sounds from most Hi-Fi stereo equipment really irritates me. I am open to discussing music, but sadly we cannot
directly share it as my ears can't handle rapidly changing frequencies.
(If you'd like to share lyrics, I'd be more than delighted to oblige!)
If you are going to cook, please do not use spices.
As I have a very delicate Gastranomic passage, the smells of these things
turns my stomach. (If you have any scents that you'd like to avoid, by
all means let me know and I'll do you the same honour.)
You must brush your teeth, at least twice a day.
If there is
anything I cannot stand it's filthy teeth. (Believe me, I've had a
couple roommates who just could not handle this simple routine - your
gingiva may not mind, but I certainly DO.)
If you are going to watch tv, please let me know in advance which
programs you'd like to watch. I do not hog the tv as a rule but there are some programmes that I like to watch on public broadcasting which generally airs from 4.30 to 6 in the evening. As it is not a prime time slot, I think you will not hinder me from watching my cartoons.
I do not appreciate unannounced house-guests.
I need to know at
least two days in advance that company is coming - I need to know the
duration of the stay, and the nature of the visit. But, I am open to
any and all visitors, I just need to know the specifics involved. To brace myself like.
I have reduced rent drastically because I realise that some of my
requests might seem slightly tough. Hence I will pay the bulk of the rent
in exchange for your understanding, your commitment to the house, and
your humouring of my quirks.
While on that, you are not to point out my quirks and rile me day in and day out. Twice per week is the maximum allowed.
No newspapers or magazines inside the house, please. The ink gets everywhere and the gloss
irritates my eyes.
Sorry! You are free to read them on the front porch,
but they must be stored outside of the house (perhaps in your car?) Anyway they don't seem to carry a lot of truth these days.
You are not to use paints in the house either. The noxious odours will aggravate my allergies!
This is not to sound discriminating, but, if you speak either
Hindi, French, or Afrikaans, I kindly request that you not speak them in
my vicinity as the tones used in these languages are grating to the
ears and nerves, for me.
No cellphone tones in my home! Please use silent mode only!
That's the summary of my requests! I do actually have a handbook
which I will provide for your perusal during our interview (yes, there
will be an interview for final-stage candidates) that outlines all of
my more particular requests.
If you are interested, please email me the following information:
1. Name
2. Occupation
3. Age
4. Allergies
5. Sex
6. Favourite food
Looking forwards to make the best of roomies!
