I am in full delulu mode right now that maybe I can find a cool person online to do this with. It's LBC, I'm good with weird, just not serial killer weird.

I'm really tired of looking at 1.7-2k studios that are obvious cut outs when having a roommate would give better options financially and way more space. Renting truly punishes single people. I mean it punishes everyone, but it's extra rude sq footage-wise when you're looking at studios.

Start off - I am a woman, mid-30s, wfh, which consists of mind-numbing teams meetings 8-5pm. I have a big dog. So if you have allergies/fears this is probably a non-starter.

I'm not trying to already set rules and be controlling or anything, just setting expectations so it's an amicable match and save time. So just a few things:

- I truly do not care what you do with your space as long as any shared space, esp the kitchen, is clean/free and clear of food at all times. And the bathroom clean. I've never had a pest issue and this is one of the biggest things for me. Pests, smells, and noise.

- This also might be a big deal breaker, but for safety and peace, I also would prefer if there aren't people coming over all the time. Truly just looking for a roommate that wants a nice quiet little beach haven.

- I don't really have furniture and I don't really plan on getting living room stuff. Like if I had a living room I'd get a rug maybe and a large bean bag chair and art things lined against the wall. But if you want adult furniture we can work this part out later. There's a good chance of needing a couch for my dog so he can look outside the window at his kingdom.

About Me: I'm a tired ass millennial that just wants a nice place to live and chill. I'm the type of person that will relocate spiders or moths, but I have a personal vendetta with mosquitoes. I'm more of arts and crafts person who loves pets, than a going out every weekend type person. Work pretty much sucks the social battery out of me. Love whimsical things and candles.

I turn off lights/electronics that are not needed and I'm not a wasteful person. (Especially since SCE is a gd monopoly that's just charging ridiculous price and hiking whenever they feel like it) I'm respectful and considerate so I hope you are the same.

My dog is a goofball but he's very sweet and is always by my side, so he'll keep to me most of the time unless you want to bribe him with love. He will not be anywhere without me. Does not incessantly bark like an a-hole for no reason. I bathe my dog frequently too. He never has that film on him and doesn't smell (not being nose blind here), he sleeps on the bed with me so i keep him clean, plus he weirdly likes bathes. I would not expect you to do anything, just giving you a short profile on him.

I've found a few places that are 2bdrm (with a living room) at around 3k, ocean view. If I'm rooming with someone, I don't really want my budget to go past 1.8k ish a month (includes rent, bill split, utility split, fee split, etc.) I'm only looking to be right by the beach because my dog loves it too much. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't bother with any of this, I'd just live in a box somewhere.

(I don't really smoke anymore and I don't care if you do as long as you're doing everything to have it cleared out with windows open or outside and not get us kicked out/bothering other tenants -- Not talking about cigarettes. Just don't get caught and don't let it linger in the apt)

Looking ideally for a Mid-June/late June move. Where the lease either starts then, or the landlord just pro-rates it for that time and the lease officially starts July. We could catch fireworks in our new home by then! Thought I'd ask now for maybe a roomie bc we can suss each other out before taking the plunge.

Obviously, in order to get an apartment, please have good credit and income.

I almost don't want to post this bc I have no idea what this will invite - but dear, universe, maybe someone matches? fingers-crossed

Hope this all sounds reasonable. Please don't roast me for internet funsies. I'm so tired

No MAGA. fk you.

Edit: Thank you sweet peas wishing me good luck ❤️
