Roomies

Grytherin · 09-25-2007, 07:03 AM

First off, I'm not entirely sure I'll be going, but I'm hoping, and roomates save monies.

Ok, my name's Jessie, I'm going to be 20 when Portus occurs, and I'm pretty much a dork, and I'm really easy to get along with. I Luuuuurve Harry Potter, so yeah, I guess that'd be pretty obvious, huh?

Anyway, I don't mind males or females, preferably 17-28 age range, but no big deal eather way. I REALLY am wanting to go, it's just money is my problem. So anyone interested?

Hey Jessie! I'll also be 20 when Portus occurs, and I'm a dork too. ;-) I'm definitely going but I am just a poor college student so I'm definitely looking for roommates. I don't know anyone else going so I'm hoping to find some people through these message boards. Maybe something could work out for us.

Hey, there!

At this point, I'm about 80% sure that I'm going. Money is a major factor for me as well. As it's only a weekend long retreat, I'm sure I'll be able to get the time off work, but the money is my cause for worry at the moment. So, yea, it would be great to have someone to room with. Much like SilverDoe, I'm a poor college student, so I'm definetely looking for any means to save money.

I'll be 19 (5 months shy of being 20) by the time Portus rolls around. I'm a total dork as well. I don't snore, sleep walk, or do any crazy things in my sleep. I marginally well-organized, so I won't be a messy room mate. But yea, I'm travelling alone, so on top of the money-saving factor, it'd be really nice to be able to have someone that I knew when I got to the hotel.

Feel free to chat with me, my myspace is www.myspace.com/chrispystine and I think my profile has most of my contact info. Even if we don't end up being roomies, we may still bump into eachother if we both do attend the event.

Good luck finding a roomate.

Haha, yeah, it's mainly money, but I'm hoping VERY much to go. Thank you both for replying! I can say I'm about 40% sure I'm going, so yeah. It's still almost a year away, so money might be OK, it's just I'm going on a HP cruise next October, and that's some money, but I should be about to go. If either of you have AIM, you should add me, I'm Jebbles19 on it ^_^

Yea, with the actual event being so far in the future, if I start saving a portion of my paycheck I'll have enough money.

You're going on Wrock the Boat? Soooo jealous. It's enough that I'm able to go to one HP event, but the cruise sounds really, really awesome. It should be loads of fun.

My screename on AIM is BookWorm2188, I'm hardly on considering my work/school schedule but you may be able to catch me on there every once and a while.

Hey guys!
I'm looking for a roommate too...as a fellow poor college student, anything that helps save galleons is game for me!
I'm definitely going, although there's always that 1% chance that something can happen between now and July 2008.

My name's Shivani...I'll be 19 by the time Portus comes around, three months shy of 20. I'm from Plano, TX, which is about 30 minutes north of Dallas.
I've been reading Harry Potter since 1999, and my love for the series has reached the point where I have my own Potter website. =P

I'm totally open and flexible. I don't drink or smoke, though. I'm pretty organized, though I don't mind if someone else is messy. I promise I'm a pretty easy roomie to get along with.

I'm a proud dork as well, so if this all works out, I suppose all four of us dorks will have a grand time at Portus. =D

My AIM, by the way, is sheeveez. I don't get on too often nowadays with classes and such, but if I am on, it'll be at nights.
You might catch me on my website too, I'm there more often than I am on AIM (just because I have to manage things). It's Plano Hogwarts, and my username is HMShivz, so feel free to drop by a PM! I'd love to get to know some people who will be at Portus, even if we can't room together.

Well, this would be quite nice, there's 4 of us. Yeah, I'm going on Wrock the Boat, and Wrockstock the end of next month, lol. But I shoulld be going, and this would be cool. ^_^ I'm excited now, lol.

That'd be really cool if there was four of us in the room. I imagine that it would never get boring. lol.

You're going to Wrockstock as well? I'm even more jealous now.

I've just gotten into wizard rock...you're so lucky to be going to Wrock the Boat! I've never been on a cruise before, and a Potter-ized one sounds just unbelievably awesome!

Yes, if all four of us do room together, I imagine it'd always be a party.

Have any of you been to another con before this one? Portus is my first.

Plus having four of us would certainly help in the financial department for us poor college kids. This does seem like an awesome group. When do you guys think you'll know for sure if you're going?
