Want To Move to Austin?

It's about that time for me to post something like this again. Rather than digging up the old post (Because I am lazy, so lazy) I will start fresh.

My current roommate (who I imported from here/MU*dom) is doing well in Austin. She is employed and has an active social life. The first experiment has proven to be a success so I'd like to give it another go.

I am potentially looking for someone to sleep in the living room for a few weeks/months until they can get their own place or other group apartment arrangements can be made. (Unless the roommate should suddenly do an about face and be against the idea. I don't see this happening though.)

I won't be charging any rent and will provide free food/internet for as long as it takes to find you a job. As with my current roommate I can probably get you a job in security should you have a clean criminal background check. It's easy work and good for those who have issues with other forms of employment.

We are full up on pets at the moment (unfortunately) with a dog and a cat so the complex will allow no other pets.

All I ask for is moderate hygiene and a willingness to try.

If you're interested drop me a PM on here. I will discuss things with the roommate and we can go from there.

Edit to add: Gender doesn't matter. Just don't try one of those 'sex for lodgings' things.

I've had zero responses to this post so maybe I should widen the net. Have a friend or family member that doesn't do drugs who needs a place to go? Someone abused by a spouse or loved one? As long as there are no kids or pets involved I have room for you.

I'd really like to get someone as soon as possible (due to my lease ending in June and my desire to actually rent/lease a house instead of an apartment when it ends) and I hate resorting to Craigslist or other 'official' avenues because you get so many fake sob stories and people just trying to take advantage of the situation.

If it's safety you're worried about, I can point you to a couple other members of the community I deal with RL on a semi-regular basis who can attest that I own no murder-axes. So hit me up.

@admiral I've noticed that most of us seem to be in reasonable housing situations this last year.

@admiral I think it'd be a neat thing to do, but I'm here in Australia so

But if you were HERE you could teach me what that 18XX thing is all about. >.>

Australia is like, all the way over THERE.

@auspice I see how it is you just want me for my train games :<

@livia Yes come to America, ignore the news, we're not actually 100% on fire yet!

Livia · Jan 3, 2019, 3:49 AM

@wretched Hey I'm hoping to visit this year. Might be next year depending on how the savings go!

I'm still trying to get to Austin, but I have a giant dog and two cats, so I'm not a good fit.

It's a long ways off, but next November I'll prob roommate-shop myself (when my lease is up). I would not be opposed to finding a house to rent that can handle a handful of critters.

I want you for more than your train games.

...but they are a bonus. >.>

Awesome! I have some short term housing options available once I actually get out there, so that could potentially be a time frame that'd work. I don't have specific plans yet, but I'd really like to be there before next winter at the latest.

I'm looking to move into a three or four bedroom house myself, as well. The more the merrier, I say.

Oooh. Which part you going to?

Livia · Jan 3, 2019, 9:47 PM

@derp Basic plan is to head to Gencon in an August and then I dunno, tourist up a bit and meet some peeps. It's vague at the moment!

And that's how we like it, thank you.

But how are we supposed to drink whiskey and snark?

@auspice Discord voice chats? Get a webcam and you might as well be in the same room!

There's a reason I'm ten thousand miles away from her, you know.

Livia · Jan 4, 2019, 10:58 AM

@tinuviel That's a well made point!
