READ ON TO HEAR ABOUT...

... my crazy roomie that broke my window to get her toilet seat "back", the hippie invasion, the post-it obsession, the guy who tried to murder me over a fishtank,the stoner, the home invasion, the World of Warcraft addict & the guy who lived in the closet, the "anorexic one-up", the girls gone meth-wild, Hagatha, the stalker, the crazy girl who wanted a greencard, the slob and just for fun, "hipsters" with mullets....

You might have had roommates like this (or not ;). If you have, or if your roomies were a whole other kinda crazy, please feel free to share your stories, just remember to change their names, so you don't get stalked by these nutters or maimed or killed or sued, probably in that order.

MY HOUSEMATE PROFILE FROM "THE HOUSEMATE QUIZ"

TO GET YOUR OWN HOUSEMATE PROFILE CLICK ON THE LINK, WHICH IS ON THE COLUMN ON THE RIGHT >>>
"Although you're happy to listen to other's opinions, you're not willing to be pushed around। In some housemate situations you can be considerate, friendly and helpful, but you also have a healthy degree of self interest and skepticism of other's motives. When living with housemates it's important to be willing to compromise so that everyone in the house feels that they have some say in how things are run. You may find yourself acting as a mediator when making household decisions.

When living with others you can show conscientious characteristics at times, such as planning and persistence, but occasionally you put having fun before reliability and ambition. For many people you are the ideal housemate, showing a healthy balance of long-term goals and short-term enjoyment but you need to be aware that others struggle to find this happy balance. If you have a housemate that is focussed too much on either long-term goals or short-term thrills you may be able to show them how a balance can be achieved.

You have some extroverted characteristics and can enjoy the company of other housemates, but equally enjoy your alone time। It's important to make sure that you get this balance right as living with someone who is constantly looking to share time with you might overcrowd you. Equally, someone who prefers to be alone may leave you feeling lonely. If you can find a housemate who is like you, that's great, but if you can't, then try and explain to people that you like your own space.

Your reactions can sometimes be intense, especially when tired, which may cause stress to fellow housemates. However, on the whole you are emotionally stable meaning you are generally easy to live with. It may be advisable to try and pinpoint when you are vulnerable to over reacting and remove yourself from these situations before they occur.

You're intellectually curious, appreciate art, and are sensitive to beauty. You are aware of your feelings and are prone to thinking and acting in individualistic and nonconforming ways. When living with others you're interesting as you will always offer a new opinion but to many you could be conceived as arrogant and ignorant. You're most suited to living with people who are also non-conforming as conservative people will find you frightening and you will find them frustrating."
