My roommate search is going ok. I have had more people inquiring than I was expecting. Right now I have one girl that I think is going to work out. I still have to find a time to meet up with her and see if we click...Hopefully we do.
Should it not work out though, I have plenty of offers from people in Europe.
Not kidding people. To date, I have had 9 emails from people in Europe responding to my ad on Craig's List. The break down is as follows:
7 from the UK
1 from France
1 from Belgium
Oh how fun to live with a foreign person, is what you might be thinking, and it probably would be. But what frustrates me is that my ad clearly says that it's a 12 month lease and that the move in date isn't until JULY 27TH at the earliest. Then I get all these emails from professionals wanting to expand business in San Diego (note: SDSU area is NOT the place to expand business..nothing but college kids are around and college kids are broke) in their mid to late 20s, 2 dads and an uncle looking for their daughters/niece who are travelling to the US and need a place to stay for 3-6 months starting ASAP, and finally a male model originally from Ireland, now living in Beligum coming May 5th and wanting to move in.
My ad says that the place is not available until JULY 27TH!!!!! I don't understand how that's not clear. Plus, with one of them that wanted to move in now I said that it's not available and still this woman emailed me telling me all about her situation and key info about her. Don't you get it?? IT'S NOT AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW!!!!! They all seem to think I own the apartment too. I don't.
Another thing is that a lot of them think I have a spare bedroom. Which I don't. It is a one bedroom place, bedroom and bathroom would be shared by the both of us and they are asking if my spare room is still available for them. Others emailed me like I have already said yes and just want to know who to write the check/cashier's check/money order to.
Sigh. Why the sudden interest from international people? I'm just getting a bit annoyed with it because they ask if they can come now and such and I have to email them back saying 'You can't, good luck with another place' which wouldn't of wasted both of our times responding and reading this stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against these people and their countries, but if the information is all there, why are they asking things that could be answered by reading the ad?

Why do you hate foreigners? You should be kind to everyone.
Except carnies.
And those freaky-deeky Dutch.
I don't hate foreigners. I just don't understand why they are all sending me emails wanting to move in now when I said it's not available until the end of July. And that fact was clearly stated in my ad.
what's the matter with the DUTCH - your wife is over 1/2 dutch
