Casting the net a little wider.
I'll probably take this over to 
dcmetro in a few days, and maybe Facebook, if this doesn't yield results, but I'm trying to expand the circle slowly. So -- DC-area folks, or those who know someone who's in the area or who will be in the area! The goal is to avoid going to Craigslist at all costs.
I'm going to need to sublet a room for the summer, from mid-June (I move in June 12th, so then or later) until around the end of August or the beginning of September (exact dates are flexible). The room is one of a two-bedroom place; it's 11x10 and the rent would be $840/month. It's a corner unit, there's a full-size washer and dryer, and the building allows cats; I can't tell you intimate details about the apartment because I haven't moved in yet myself, but from my walkthrough I can tell you it was just lovely. There's a lot of closet space and it's got a really nice open floor plan. The walls, floors, and ceilings are very thick -- eight inches of solid concrete -- so it's unbelievably quiet (that was probably the first thing I noticed on my walk-through).
The neighborhood is fantastic -- it's in Silver Spring, MD, right across the street from the Silver Spring Metro station and a Giant. The building is very secure (there's a front desk with someone on duty 24 hours), the maintenance crew live in the building so responses are pretty quick, there's an outdoor pool and jacuzzi, plus a 24-hour gym with cardio and weight rooms. It's very near College Park (my parents, who both went to UMD, took a look at the neighborhood and described it as "our old stomping grounds"), and since it's right on the Metro line most of the other schools in the area are accessible, if someone's taking summer classes and needs a place.
If you were pointed here by someone else and aren't from my flist/circle, for a little about myself -- I'm twenty-five, queer, in the process of converting to Judaism, very geeky, and very much a feminist. I work in an e-publishing office in Virginia, and my penchant for capslock on the Internet notwithstanding, I'm pretty laid-back. I can be a bit messy, but never unhygienically so, and when I'm sharing a space with someone I'm very conscientious about containing my mess to my own areas and keeping it out of the common ones. I love bright colors (they will feature prominently in the decorating scheme), Bruce Springsteen (ditto for posters of him), and books (there will be two or three bookshelves just to start with). I'm equally happy to cook or to microwave or to order out, I will keep the liquor shelf/cabinet well-stocked (the building has a beer and wine shop on the second floor!), and I will probably throw a few barbecues in the summer, because I love barbecues. Also cupcakes. I love cupcakes.
If you're interested, comment here, or email me at cidercupcakes at gmail dot com. And this entry's public, so please do point your flists/circles this way if you think there are people who might be interested.
