SWM in search of ..... anyone?!

My roomate is moving out in a couple of months so today I posted a Craigslist ad to fill her room. I'm getting an early start on the search so that I'll find the best replacement. I've only written one ad before and it ended horribly with a roomate who was creepy to say the least. I'm hoping that five years later, this search will end successfully and I'll have a roomate comparable to mine now.

As I was writing the ad this afternoon, I felt as though I was writing a personal ad. In essense that is exactly what it was. The sad part is that my past (and present) roomate experiences have been more successful than my relationships. Blargh.

I've already received a number of responses and most of them have great potential so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Do I have to call it pop now?

So looks like I'm from Wisconsin, with Philadelphia a close second. Strange.

The one disappointing thing is I've been spending the last four months in and out of Boston and its endearing accent hasn't rubbed off on me, not even a little bit!


What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Inland North

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

just for you


My friend Alex looks exactly like this when she frowns. She frowns often but only to emphasize a point in a story or when she is speaking in her hilarious Russian accent. This frown always makes me smile. Thanks, Alex.
