Looking for a room to rent or apartment to share around Fairfax for ~$1200, flexible on price and area

I've been searching for a new place for the last month or so without much luck. Hoping to find a place to move into by the last weekend of this month, Sat the 29th or Sun the 30th.

I work in film but also have a steady job as a pharmacy tech in the Merrifield area of Fairfax. I'm hoping to stay in the area or around there, as a short commute is a huge plus for me.

I've lived with young and old, men and women, couples and singles, straight and queer, cats and dogs, and ethnicities from around the world in the past with no issues. Prefer a clean and quiet household. I usually keep to myself, don't take up much space, and it's extremely rare that I have guests over.

A little about me: 35 y/o male raised in Va beach, went to film school in Florida, lived in New Orleans for most of my 20s working in film, now I've been in Nova for the last 5 years where most of my immediate family lives. Still working in film, but work is a bit sparse up here, moved here primarily to work a bit closer with a college friend who produces my scripts.

I'm a bit of an introverted nerd who likes all kinds of games, movies, tv, etc. and occasionally go out to concerts. I like to spend my weekends going out to read and write at coffee shops, play board games with friends, have a leisurely stroll in a park, or watch movies.

I appreciate any responses and am open to any questions!

When to switch to Graphene

I got the pixel 6 pro around the time it came out and it's going to be at the end of its security update life in October, which is unfortunate because my phone is still running perfectly fine despite having been dropped at around 30ft at one point. I'm thinking of either getting the 11 if it is released and Graphene can run on it by October. If not it'll be the 10 pro xl, or if I want to see what Motorola has in store for the Graphene community next year I'll just go with the cheaper 10a for the time being.

My question is since my p6 can run GOS should I make the switch now and then transfer everything over when I upgrade phones in October? I'm really excited about GOS and would just go ahead and make the switch now, but I saw people recommend to not let a new phone connect to the Internet before loading GOS onto it. Since my p6 has been attached to Google's ecosystem for the better part of five years, it's clearly been more than just connect to the Internet. Would that make my phone "compromised" and should I just wait to make the switch when I upgrade?

As I'm typing this, I'm realizing I could just skip transferring from this phone to the next and just set up the new phone from scratch. But it would be nice if I could get used to GOS now and hopefully seamlessly switch later.

Appreciate any input! And I'm still reading up on GOS, so I'm happy to hear any beginner tips as well.
