Great Studio to share with student/professional (nob hill) $650

Hello, I just moved here about a year and a half ago from Montreal Canada and I go to school and work full time. I am looking for someone to live with me and share the rent. I have a large studio in the heart of it all. It has great light at a great location and comes with a great respectful roommate (you should be to). Right now I live in the larger room and your room would be my closet which has a large window that opens and gets sun all day. The closet however is very large and can fit a bed, clothes and even desk if you want but I am also willing to negotiate as much room as you need in the kitchen if you were to need more room. I have lived in this place for a year and I love it. You may be thinking it is small but 3 of us use to live her for 6 out of those 12 months so it is more than enough for 2 and I use to rent the closet myself for the first four months. I prefer a male but I am open to meeting anyone. The person that I am looking for however has to be clean and very respectful. I have lived with a few people who were nothing but and it did not work, so this is very important to me. I am looking for someone fun but does not bring the party home (to often that is). The person has to be very open and liberal as I am (meaning no anti-gay or anti-anyone for that matter). If this sounds good to you hit me up this would be for at least 6 months to a year maybe longer depending how well we get along. Thank you for reading this. Hope to hear from you soon.

Truman Show Disorder

Montreal psychiatrists Joel and Ian Gold are studying the Truman Show Delusion, a mental illness they've identified where individuals are convinced that they are the stars of imaginary reality TV shows. By the way some people act on Flickr and YouTube, I'd say that this disorder, with varying severity, may be more common than we realize. From Canada.com: While (Joel) Gold says they could have easily called their new disorder the EDtv Delusion or the Matrix Delusion -- both films that refer to an unreal existence-- three of the five patients he treated at the storied mental health hospital directly likened their plight to The Truman Show, the 1998 film about Truman Burbank, an affable suburbanite who slowly becomes aware that his every movement is broadcast 24/7 to voyeuristic viewers around the world. The five patients Dr. Gold treated were white men between the ages of 25 and 34, the majority of whom held university degrees. "I realized that I was and am the centre, the focus of attention by millions and millions of people," explained one patient, an army veteran who came from an upper-middle-class upbringing. "My family and everyone I knew were and are actors in a script, a charade whose entire purpose is to make me the focus of the world's attention...." "The wish for fame is a form of grandiosity, and the fear of threats such as surveillance can bring about paranoia," said the Montreal-based (Ian) Gold, 46, who specializes in delusion. "New media is opening up vast social spaces that might be interacting with psychological processes." Truman Show Delusion (Canada.com, thanks Lyn Jeffery!)...
