Leave Me Alone!

[StarBase 118 Staff]

A friend of mine is actively looking for a new roommate and she asked if I would consider. For the last year or so, I have lived on my own and enjoyed it immensely. I answer to no one. I come and go as I wish and even though I am a clean person, should I leave a bit of a mess behind before heading out the door, I don’t feel bad that someone else may stumble upon my mess. However, I do sometimes feel lonely when I don’t want to go out and I also miss the presence of another soul with me where I live. So I’m kind of in a dilemma. Should I or should I not take my friend up on her offer? I guess I will decide soon enough.

Nevertheless, that brings us to this week’s Poll of the week. What species in Star Trek would make the worst roommate? Would it be an Andorian who always keeps the room bitter cold? A Bajoran who prays to the prophets all the time? A Betazoid who can read your dirty thoughts and dreams at night? How about a Cardassian who keeps the temperature at the highest levels in your quarters or a Ferengi who only discusses profit with you as you chit chat? What about a Klingon who smells not quite fresh, or a joined Trill who speaks of memories of a time long before your grandparents were alive? How about a Vulcan who would not understand your emotions should you have a particularly difficult day? So who would you deem to be the worst roommate? Head on down to the polls and let us know what species would be the one to make you wish you lived alone!
