Yet ANOTHER nerdy 30-something transplant seeking friends

Hi everyone! My name’s Laura. I moved here from Seattle to be with my boyfriend, who himself moved here so he could buy a house, about 3 months ago, and I just have no idea what I’m doing socially out here. I had tons of friends back home but I’d lived there since I was 11 and I met most of them in my teens or 20s. Now I’m 33 and since I’m not a big drinker the only place I could possibly meet folks is work, but I haven’t yet and I’m starting to get stir crazy. I’m looking for friends with common interests to chill and learn about the area with.

Things I do in my spare time: Sing, play ukulele well and guitar poorly, draw cartoony pictures of animals, play ping pong, air hockey, and rhythm and puzzle games, and smoke pot. I also help run the arcade at Sakuracon, the anime convention that takes place every April in Seattle.

Things I like: 90s anime, cats, Szechuan, Italian, and Ethiopian food, any TV show about lawyers, thrifting, mysteries, exploring parks, trying new restaurants, giggling at the world around me, most genres of music (but especially singer/songwriter, 90s alternative, and ska.)

I don’t have any kids, none of my politics are particularly extreme in any direction, and I can’t hold my liquor, though I’m a great designated driver since I love karaoke, pinball, and throwing darts.

Anyone out there with similar interests looking to meet people? Any suggestions where I can meet people with similar interests or other recent transplants in the same boat? Please, help me figure out what I’m doing here, LMAO. DMs are welcome!
