Cold and Lonely Places

I've been searching for an apartment in Manhattan (and choice areas of Brooklyn) for about four or five weeks now, with no return contact from any of the posters I've e-mailed or called. This is not the worst part of this search for a new apartment.

The worst part is how much the pictures scare me. Every apartment looks cold and lonely. This is made that much worse by the fact that I've never lived alone. I'm a little worried, very scared, and unbelievably stressed out over all of this.

I don't want to live alone. I'm not even sure I can.

So this is a call to anyone I know who happens to read this even semi-routinely.

I need a roommate.
