Crystal M - $1,800/month

28 year old female working full time as an Occupational Therapist with a slight case of main character syndrome.

I work outside the home Mon-Fri 8:30-5 currently, in Staten Island. I enjoy taking various creative classes. Improv, dance and pottery have been the ones I've tried this year. I try to go out after work a couple times a week if not for a dance class or improv show than to the gym, out for a walk or to a coffee shop.

I'm a clean person but not a neat freak. I cook out of necessity mainly, sometimes for fun (rarely).

I have tons of kitchen stuff; really cute and good quality pink pots/pans, floral dish patterns. I enjoy decorating and have a bunch of apartment decor holiday and not holiday. I have a gnome for every holiday (you know once family/friends see you like things that becomes your thing) so don't be afraid of gnomes if you live with me. (although if you are maybe this is the time I get to detach from being the gnome friend with good reason because I can't be a shitty roommate and keep gnomes around if you're scared of them right?!).

I have a car (as long as our place has some sort of parking nearby) so costco trips can be made :)

As far as a roommate I am open to someone who we just live together and coexist or we hang out and become friends. Not going to brag but I'm a really good friend. As a therapist I am also a really good communicator.

I love being social, I love to entertain- but don't do so frequently. I have incredible friends and family that live in New Jersey or Staten Island so I am often visiting those places. Happy to share Staten Island stories and adventures. I'll share my friends too they're really great.

I enjoy a quiet weekend at home as much as I do a weekend out. I am respectful and all about boundaries so happy to set and follow set ones.

I have chronic migraine that is fairly under control. I will happily educate you about migraine any day of the week and may not be able to handle certain artificial smells (like certain plug in air fresheners). The only other thing that could be of concern to you is I would request quiet if/when I have an attack but also I am used to living with others and have ear plugs.

I consider myself spiritual and can sometimes be annoyingly optimistic. By spiritual I definitely mean I will sage the apartment, make a simmer pot from time to time and burn incense. My name is Crystal so I have some of those to cause how can't I? Still learning what spirituality means to me but hey life's gotten a lot better since I've started to trust in it.
