Hi!
I was totally dejected by your posting, as the size of the room is too small to FIT my dining room table!! I have all the communal stuff from my last venture on the upper east side - which is NOT my scene - and I was trying to juggle selling it AND moving! But, let’s hang out! Maybe this is the perfect apartment for us!
I’m female but boyish - probably would turn the 3 person apartment into a straight 50-50 guy/girl split, and totally laid back to the point of devolving but, yet, i’m a biomedical consultant… hmm… I’m hard to agitate and quick to get over stuff. I was the ONLY person cleaning my last apartment - which got annoying - but I also don’t want to live alone. I’m from a big family and would be sad if you guys were hermits. I play sports, go to bars, take art classes, have a car and a flatscreen (which, you’d be surprised how much of a draw that is for people), and i’ve only played guitar hero ONCE in my WHOLE LIFE. so if i get addicted, it’s because YOU own one and have great solicitation skills. ;-)
I’m around the hood all night tonight after 6pm. Let me know if i can swing by and maybe meet at least 1 of you?
Thanks!

Hello,
My name is _____ and I’m interested in seeing your apartment for rent. I’m moving to the east coast from Los Angeles and I plan on going to grad school at NYU in September 2009. I’m pretty laid back, west coast beach bum at heart, but I’m in new York to make a difference. I was a finance manager for MTV and I’ve got headhunters looking for a new gig for me. Money for rent won’t be a problem because I have savings and a mother who is very well off. I know it makes me sound like a trust fund baby, buy I work for what I get so I’m hoping not to rely on her, but a safety net is good thing for all of us. My friends say I’m easy to get along with and I try to always be considerate of others. I always keep common areas clean but my room tends to be a reflection of where my head is at. I enjoy a quite night with friends as much as a crazy party…though the former tends to hurt a lot less. I guess the best way to really get to know me would be to give me a call so my cell is _____. I’m available to talk or see the apartment anytime.
Hope to hear from ya soon.
Cheers,
_____

Hey guys, my name is _____ and here’s a few things about myself: I’m a young 34 years old and have been living in NYC since 2000. Prior to to then I moved around a lot- Vermont, San Francisco, Seattle, Alaska, Minneapolis, Ghana… I went to university in Montana and studied creative writing and sustainable agriculture. I’m straight and currently living with my girlfriend of many years in the east village but we are separating. I’m roughly 1/4 into a novel I hope to finish writing this winter, so I guess you could say that I’m a writer in-the-making. A couple years ago I began working in restaurants and that’s what I do now. During the day I like to get a lot of exercise, go to the park or gym and I’m a pretty big cycling enthusiast- I bicycle everywhere (I’m hardly ever in the subway!). My musical tastes are wide ranging- everything from the wu-tang clan to vintage reggae, jazz, old country and Frank Zappa to….well, I like a lot of different shit! I play a little music myself- guitar and mandolin. A lot of my friends are musicians. I like to cook nice food and drink tea and have a nice home so you can defiantly expect from me honesty, respect, good humor, cleanliness, helpfulness, and a genuine, kind, healthy heart. I do like a clean crib- particularly the bathroom and kitchen. I’ve got no problem with keeping weekly cleaning chores- I can get a little zen-like with that shit (probably stemming from my years spent working on farms!) I’m not a party animal and I don’t smoke. I make decent earnings so rent will never be a problem. OK, I look forward to hearing from you. E-mail or call _____. I work nights except on Sunday and Monday so with that exception daytime is better for a visit. Thanks, _____

Hey guys! My name is _____ and I currently live at _____ with 2 roommates (sounds very much like what you guys have going on). It’s a great situation but long story short our apartment got bed bugs and my roommates (as much as I love them) aren’t taking it very seriously. We were fumigated on Saturday, but we think they may still be around. I swear I am easy to live with, but I have a very low tolerance for blood sucking bugs. :-) I’ve spoken to my roommates and they are willing to stick it out, whereas I am not (I am the only one who threw away my bed and took all of my clothes to the cleaners, etc - I really don’t want to keep doing this). So I am looking for a new place! I’m a 23yr old account coordinator at _____.
Originally from Michigan. I’ve only lived in NY for 5 months but I love Park Slope and a lot of my friends are here so I want to stay. I’m easy going, clean (but not crazy about it) and respectful. My current roommates are a 28yr old male and a 25yr old female so I don’t see any problems there… If there is anything else you’d like to know, please feel free to email me. I’d love to meet you guys/see the place. I’m looking to move out ASAP.
Thanks, _____
