We. Got. The. House.

House? Househousehouse!

As some of you may know, I entertain. Alot. I have people over for movies, for gaming, for dinner, for cocktails, for board or card games. There is almost always *something* going on at Casa de Mare.

Unfortunately, I am out of space. Between the Girlie, the furniture, the cats, the plants, the bikes, etcetera etcetera, ad nauseum, I have about a foot of clear floor space.* It is a sanity-reducing sort of situation. And we are here until October. Just, bleah.

So, now I am considering sub-letting this place. I need to find a renter that could slide in and finish out the lease with a minimum of fuss. Of course, I would also need to check the rental agreement to see if that was groovy with management. I seem to recall there being a reference to sub-let but damn if I can remember what it was. It could be
Sublet all you want! Pork away, buddy! {/Fish Called Wanda Otto voice}
or it could be
No sublet for you! {/soup nazi voice}

Buuuuuuuut, iffen it DOES say that I can sublet, then I so outta here! I could have us packed and moved in a week.

*sighs and stares dreamily out the window*


* – of course I am exaggerating. but, not by much.

After careful review of my plans and my finances – both now & the potential future’s – I have decided that I need to break my current lease, find either a house or duplex with 3+ bedrooms and a roommate. Finding the house/duplex is the easy part. I have found several that will be more than fine. Finding a roommate that I trust, like and who is dependable is *not*. It’s not that there aren’t people in my life that I wouldn’t gladly live with — it’s that a good lot of them are happily ensconced already.

So this is my appeal, O Friend’s List. Do *you* know of somebody that I can chat with about becoming a roommate? They must :

be ok with children – the Girlie lives with me 1/2 the time.
understand that while I am not a party animal, people *do* come over to visit
be ok with kitties, I have one and suspect that I will have another 2 for a bit
be responsible, that is pay their bills fully & on time, every month
grok that I require more than a token of cleanliness
but that sometimes housekeeping is not my top priority
know that I am going to try to go back to school

Ideally, we could get a house in the 78758 area code (braker/metric) area, out near ACC Northridge.

If someone does pop into your brain, please let me know.
