I am seeking a female roommate bet 25 and 35 to move into a 2+2 with me in the Culver City, Mar Vista, Palms, Venice, West LA, or Santa Monica areas around June 1-15. I am wishing for someone nice, kind, honest, not insecure, not overly talkative, not angry or bitter, loves cats, is a professional, clean, mellow, respectful, sane.

About me: 33, employed as Business Development Manager at a marketing research firm in Culver City that is ranked among the top 25 research firms in the U.S., graduated from CSUN in 2002. Prior to this position, I was self-employed and had lived for 14 years in the same apartment in West LA. I am a spiritual person, kind, compassionate, love animals, easy to get along with, clean. In my spare time, I like to draw, paint, read books, watch a little TV but not a lot, go out dancing, and dream up new business ideas. What inspires me to work is to one day be able to do something about the atrocities I witness going on in the world.

About my cats: I have 4 of them, and while that sounds like a lot at first, when you're around them it doesn't seem that way. 3 of them are older (13 years) and 1 is the baby of another 1 (he's 8 years). The baby is very shy and doesn't come out much, so it seems like there's only 3. Mostly they just sleep and want attention. 3 of them are shaved in the summer months so they don't shed as much. They're very well-behaved, very sweet, and much loved. My house does NOT smell like a cat box because I clean up after them every day, and I own my own carpet cleaner.

If me and my "kids" sounds tolerable to you, please let me know if you'd be willing to meet and see if the chemistry (for lack of a better word) is there for us to be not only roommates, but friends also, because that's important to me. Please respond with a photo, as I've attached mine, and with a bit more about you, such as what you do for a living, what you enjoy doing in your spare time, what inspires you to work?

-verse-

Love was a former owner, but quiet is renting our house
It seizes my lips from speaking, but forms a sarcastic smile
Suspense now raised one of your eyebrowes
You ask me if there's someone else
I replied yes, hell yes
You asked me if it's another man, I say no
You laughed and say is it a woman, I say yeah
Surprisingly you asked me for honey's name

-chorus-
And her name is me,
And she loves me more than you'll ever know
And I finally see that loving you and loving me
Just don't seem to work at all
So patiently, she's waiting on me to tell you
That she needs love
And to choose between you two, boy you know
If I have to choose, I choose me

-verse-
And she told me to tell you to never to hurt me again
Cuz if you haven't heard she's a bad chick
Even though I haven't been, no
Yet and still you try and test me by raisin' an angry hand
Put it down, put it down

I'm leavin don't try and stop me, (no)
I'm late and she is waiting, (yes)
My love for me is too much so I can't stay

-chorus-
And her name is me,
And she loves me more than you'll ever know
And I finally see that loving you and loving me
Just don't seem to work at all
So patiently, she's waiting on me to tell you
That she needs love
And to choose between you two, boy you know
If I have to choose, I choose

Cuz she's actually formin' a threesome
And I'm happy that I can join them, and
Their names are me, myself and I

-chorus-
And her name is me,
And she loves me more than you'll ever know
And I finally see that loving you and loving me
Just don't seem to work at all
So patiently, she's waiting on me to tell you
That she needs love
Gotta choose between you two, and you know if I had to choose
I'd choose me, me, I gotta go with me.

My birthday wishes: for friends who not only profess to care but actually do...for the direction that I'm supposed to go in my life to be made clear...for love and peace to surround me...for myself and those I love to be internally well and finacially stable.

Save me, O God, for the floodwaters are up to my neck.

Deeper and deeper I sink into the mire; I can't find a foothold to stand on.

I am in deep water, and the floods overwhelm me.

I am exhausted from crying for help; my throat is parched and dry.

My eyes are swollen with weeping, waiting for my God to help me…

But I keep right on praying to you, Lord, hoping this is the time you will show me favor.

Psalm 69:1-3, 13 NLT


Praying when hope seems dim

David's prayer recorded in this psalm essentially amounts to a simple, "Save me, I'm sinking." It's the cry of a desperate man who can't even think of helping himself. But at least David knew whom he needed to ask for help. Although he was exhausted from crying to the Lord in prayer, he kept on shouting to his God, the only one who could save him.

When waves of adversity threaten to drown you in despair, pray to God. Remember David's persistence, and keep on asking God for help.

Prayer for today:

Dear Lord, I am exhausted from crying for help, but I will keep on praying to you.

He's in the Pacific Palisades in a big cage with a plastic igloo and has 2 new rabbit friends. His new mom is a stay-at-home mom so he'll get lots and lots of attention from her and the kids. It's a fab situation and my heart is happy :-)
