My DW/LJ fen, I turn to you. My flatmate of 2+ years is abandoning me to move in with her boyfriend. This is very awesome for her, and very sad for me, because we were great roommates, and now I have to find someone new to live with. At first I thought craigslist was my only hope, but then I thought, wait! Why must I throw myself upon the mercy of skeevy strangers, when there is a whole marvelous community of fannish types who might know someone nifty in need of a place to live in the DC metro area?
SO.
I'm looking for a fan-friendly female (or female-identified) flatmate to share my comfy two bedroom/1 bathroom apartment in Arlington starting on or around Dec 1. It's a 10-min walk from the Clarendon metro, with multiple bus lines stopping quite literally across the street. Nice, safe neighborhood, ample street parking (if you have a car), easy access to Clarendon shops/restaurants/nightlife, super simple commute into downtown DC. Rent is split evenly and comes to $767.50/mo. Included in rent is water and heating. We split the power, gas, and cable, which in total runs about $70 extra a month per person, a little higher in the summer months. The open bedroom will be unfurnished; also, some of the living/dining room furniture belongs to my current roommate, who will be taking it with her when she leaves. So if you have furniture, awesome! If not, we get to redecorate however we like! (My roommate has the ugliest dining chairs in existence, I am so excited about picking out new ones, you don't even know.)
Me: quiet, geeky mid-twenties professional who works two jobs (non-profit and theater stage management, respectively), which means I'm not around much, and when I am, I generally keep to myself. But I'm very friendly and easy to live with, as my current roommate can attest. :) I'm also a big fan of keeping our common space clean. Looking for someone clean, respectful, and responsible. A fellow fan is totally a plus, but in no way necessary!
Crappy iPhone camera pics:
Entryway/dining room!
Living room! With couch cut out of the shot here -->
Kitchen!
Your bedroom! Except only an awkward camera angle of it taken across the bed! And with my current roommate's stuff strewn everywhere because she just got back from a long weekend away!
So...yes. Any signal boosting would be very much appreciated, you can link them here (DW or LJ) or contact me at kaydeefalls at gmail dot com. Fandom is awesome, and it would be really nifty if I could find a fannish flatmate rather than, y'know, posting this up on craigslist and risking total sketchballs.

His hobbies include cooking, collecting fines wines, gaming, and online comics (he was a mod on Penny Arcade).
