do i want to live with a hippie?

so, when i got home, i was not able to sleep, so i've been online trying to find somewhere to live since i have to be out of my current apartment in about a month or less. so i was again trolling craigslist in the roommates section and about 10 minutes ago stumbled upon this ad:

I need a hippie-style housemate

I am a 31-YO male, employed hippie with a job, sometimes do sound design and theater projects as well. I need a housemate who is progressive-minded, peaceful, and cool. No indoor cigarette smoking, pets nego. Available August 1, for a 1-year long stay; shorter stay nego. We'd split bills, including cable modem access. I don't watch TV, but cable TV may be negotiable. I cook vegetarian/vegan, recycle/re-use, and try to shop locally (e.g. Wheatsville, Whole Earth) or not at all.

The house is a carpeted 2.5/1, with a 1-car garage. Cute place. Common areas are furnished, but not lavishly. I like to keep it clean. It's near Lamar, just south of 183. Quiet neighborhood mostly. I have a recording studio in the house, and will pay a higher share of the rent.


ok, so i can't decide if i want to reply to this ad or not. while the vegetarian and recycling i am down with, i watch a lot of tv and don't really shop locally. anyone that knows me knows i'm all about the 24-hour h-e-b just because i like to avoid people while grocery shopping. the recording studio sounds cool, too. plus, if i get that job in north austin, this would be in a pretty good location, being near 183 and all.

but could i really live with a hippie?

gah. i hate making major decisions. why can't i just decide whether to e-mail BJM or not to let him know the meat puveyors are playing on friday? that would be simpler than trying to find a place to live. i mean, at this time last year, i had already signed a lease for where i am living now, while i was still at my old place. gah. the fact that trying to figure out if BJM is worth it or not sounds simpler than finding a place to live is quite disturbing to me ...
