Choosing Roomies

How do you choose a roomate that you don't already know? It's kind of like a job interview- if you have a great apartment and you are obvi the ballerest roomie in the game yourself, they will tell you what you want to hear just to get the OK to move on in. "Smoking? Disgusting. Drugs? What do I look like? Party hard? Way past that stage. Messy? Can't STAND it!" Next thing you know tweetle dumb is inhabiting your previously perfect apartment which now smells like devels lettuce and looks like an episode of True Life I'm a Fucking Horder. To aviod this I act like a straight up prude when meeting for the first time. I over exagurate my do's & don'ts- that way if they really aren't semi mature & clean they will be scared off straight into the arms of an equilly messy person & everybody wins! Bottom line is I don't care if you're 21, 31, black, white, staright, gay, male, female, just don't leave dishes in the sink & make the fridge smell like vagina with your expired tuna salad & we're all good. Oh and it doesn't hurt to be a fun time.
