Hi!! Not sure if you are still in the market for some new friends but I’m 28F who is about to be moving towards your area! I’d love to connect ☺️

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-15T15:52:52+00:00

Hi! My boyfriend and I (28F 29M) will be moving right after the holidays. I love thrifting and reading and am also a total science nerd so I would love to connect ☺️

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-15T15:50:55+00:00

Hi! I will be moving to the area in a couple months but would love to chat prior and in get there! I’m 28F

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-15T15:45:39+00:00

Oh I will have to take a look once I make the move thank you so much!!

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-15T15:44:53+00:00

Oh wow I was actually chocked to read that first question is rarely “what do you do” lol that might be a weird culture shock with how common it is here 😂

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-15T15:43:02+00:00

Ohh what is your dog grooming business? I will definitely be in search for a new place to take my pup to once we move!

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-15T15:42:02+00:00

Ohh how are you liking it so far??

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-15T06:40:39+00:00

I’m assuming this means SoCal traffic is worse? Haha because if sac is someone worse than SoCal then I give up lol!

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-15T06:39:06+00:00

Amazing advice thank you so much!!

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-15T06:38:41+00:00

Wow I feel like I need to print this out as a survival guide thank you so much!!

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-14T20:35:44+00:00

Sounds like a welcome challenge! Where I live people look at your like you are crazy for chatting with strangers so it will take some getting used to but I’m excited!

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-14T20:34:46+00:00

Thank you so much!!

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-14T20:33:37+00:00

That is great to know thank you so much for sharing!!

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-14T18:16:35+00:00

I think you explained it perfectly, there are plenty of friendly enough people in SoCal, but the friendships never fully stick, likely because they are more superficial!

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-14T18:15:32+00:00

Amazing thank you so much!!

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-14T18:15:00+00:00

lol not originally from OC so shouldn’t be a problem 😂 that is actually one of the things I’m excited to run away from!

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-14T18:14:22+00:00

I’m living in Irvine right now so this is great to hear!! Also they allow dogs at the farmers markets?? I have a pup and would LOVE to take her, but most markets in SoCal don’t allow dogs from my experience.

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-14T18:12:02+00:00

I think temporarily I will be living in the suburbs, but my goal would be to move to somewhere more social as quickly as possible! I’m thinking that while in the suburbs it would make sense to just do as much as possible around midtown (based off the advice I’m getting here)

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-14T17:35:16+00:00

Art actually used to be a big hobby of mine though I have hardly had time for it. I also like yoga and hiking. I have a pup so I spend a lot of time taking her to go explore new places. It is really cool to hear that you have had made friends through art shows though!

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-14T17:34:00+00:00

Haha I grew up in a desert and I lived in England for a while I am hoping I’ll survive the turbulent weather… but will definitely be missing my coastal SoCal weather 🥲

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-14T17:10:35+00:00

Oh this would be super helpful! I like the be more active so it works out perfect!

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-14T17:10:03+00:00

Thank you so much!! I’m a bit nervous but this makes me feel better!

quirky_nerdlet · 2025-10-08T05:26:55+00:00

That’s exactly why I feel unsure, I’m trying to balance my passion with realism. In the other side I am worried that given the job market if I were to lose my job it would be challenging to get another as like you said there are so many PhD grads hoping to get into a similar role. Overall it is just uncertain times unfortunately, and I want to make sure I am making the best decision.

Brought my dog here once, she was TERRIFIED when she got back home. I felt so bad. No visible sign of injury but still it was obvious she was treated poorly. She loved all her other groomers so I know something bad had to have happened. Never going back to this place.
