My Stanford Roommate Essay!!

Dear Roomie,

As you plan on spending the next four years with me, know that I’m completely harmless and don’t bite. But I am characteristically insane. I love mathematics. I am funny. Oh yes, you can call me a joker too, I really wouldn't mind that after The Dark Knight. I also prefer to work in my head rather than putting down everything on paper. I do a lot of physics, both theoretical and applied. I like making circuits, though blowing them up is more fun. I can mimic actors, non-actors and people who fall into neither group. I can't spell too well. Yes, siriusly. I love looking up at the stars and drawing my own constellation patterns. I also love wasting time doing nothing, when doing nothing encompasses everything from reading comics, surfing IMDB, Wikipedia or GoogleMaps or watching Numb3rs or singing songs off-key. That's nothing? Yes, go fight with my mom. I love playing with LEDs. Yes, they are a fetish, but you were not supposed to know. I dream a lot. Everybody tells me not to, but thank goodness I never listened to my mom when she taught me to be obedient. I breathe movies. I even eat, sleep and drink movies. I am curious. I just have to know everything. I love cricket. I love coffee. I love cake, chocolate and everything filled with calories. I like taking pictures. I can't draw parallel lines. I can't open shampoo or sauce packets with my fingers, I need scissors for that. What else? I love life, smiles, joy, a pleasant breeze, my next door neighbor, the sun's rays on a winter morning, the rippling sound of a river flowing by, a child's laughter ... for me, life is one big adventure, fun-filled, thrilling and inspiring. Oh and I love my mirror too, it makes me look much more handsome than I think I really am. I look forward to staying with you, and hope you turn out to be as crazy as me, or maybe more!

Yours truly,
He-who-must-not-be-named
