I'm currently searching for a new flatmate and I've found the responses from Craigslist entertaining. It's fun to read through an email and try to figure out what the person on the other end is all about. Most of the time they don't end up being much like what they their email indicates, but that doesn't take away the amusement. After I make my decision I might post some of the responses and let you guys try and guess what the people were actually like (names and specifics excluded, obviously).
Oh, this wasn't a backhanded attempt to have you find a friend to move into my soon to be vacant room, but if you happen to know someone who needs a place September 1st, I'm your guy.
