Just right

My apartment technically has six bedrooms. One is kind of an office, one is supposed to be some kind of guest room, three are taken, and there's been a steady stream of people coming through to look at the free one. We'd all kind of rather have two girls and two guys than three girls and one guy, but no one wanted the English guy who speaks no Spanish and came wrapped in his Catalan girlfriend who technically lives with her parents, or the Belgian guy who pretended to be American and then interrogated us at length about the exact speed of our internet. We also didn't want the hot pierced unemployed green-haired girl who wanted to keep a dog on the terrace. (I would love a pet, but there was no reason to think that this particular hot green-haired girl would take good care of one.) One roommate summed her up with "She's cool... but maybe too cool." So, the search continues. In the meantime, I'm learning new ways to say in Spanish that people are cool or that they suck, and trying not to wonder too much about how I made the cut.
