James

Hi! Name is James. I’m originally from New Jersey but I’ve been living in Chicopee for the past six years. My friends would describe me as easy-going, humorous, organized, and independent. In my free time, I like to spend my time outside, either alone or with others. On the weekends, I often head out play music, go to shows, go to different stores, hike, or otherwise adventure as much as I can.

I just started working at a mental health clubhouse and I work a pretty normal 8-4 schedule. During the week, I’m usually in bed by 10:30 and up by 5:30. On the weekends, I’m usually asleep by 12 and up around 10 or 11.

‍I’m a pretty social person, but I also need my alone time. I want my house to be a place where I can have people over, but not a place that’s constantly full of people. I’m open to the idea of my roommates hosting parties - I would just like to know about these ahead of time. I’m down to get to know each other; I’m not saying we have to be best friends, but I would like to do things like occasionally watch TV together and host cook outs for friends. If you’re not open to the idea of sharing a meal together every once in a while, we’re probably not a good fit.

I like to keep common living spaces pretty clean. I do my dishes every day and put away my belongings when I get home from work. I’m open to the idea of a cleaning schedule to keep things organized.

My monthly budget is $800, and I’m looking to move within the next month or so. I’m hoping to find a place in or near Greenfield (where I work) – which can include, but is not limited to, other nearby towns such as Montague, Turners Falls, or Sunderland to say the least. Ideally, I would like my own bedroom, and I’m open to living with 1-5 other people. Ideally, the house would have a yard or at least a porch. If the bedrooms are sized differently enough to justify different prices, I’m happy staying in the larger or smaller room.

Here are some quirks and relevant information: I’m sometimes overwhelmed by loud noises and can’t stand dishes being left in the sink. So, if you’re someone that needs to have the volume on the TV up to the maximum, we might not be the best fit. With that said, I’m not going to get upset at you for watching your favorite TV show at a normal volume. I rarely smoke, but I do drink sometimes, and I don’t mind substance use as long as it doesn’t get out of control. The social media thing ain’t for me.
