Sheldon Cooper

I don't know what possessed me to become Sheldon's roommate. I should have ran, far, especially when he presented a Roommates Agreement in which I was forced to sign. I am sure this sounds extreme but you have not met this guy, and if you did, even if it's a five minute walk up the stairs together, you would understand.
