Looking for awesome roommates

Hi

I'm looking for awesome roommates to join me in searching a new apartment (Start Date May 1,2015). I am looking to find a place near to Palo Alto or Mountain View (or we can decide over depending on the work or study place of you).

About me:

I've had a great relationship with my roommates and I'd love to find that again here. I moved from Chicago recently. I love to explore new places, enjoy cooking, hang out with roommates and friends, some really good, creative (sometimes) conversations, having a drink or two with roomies or friends. Started to play pool 6 months back and getting really good. I work at Stanford as a Research fellow (usual work hours 9:30 to 5:30). After work, I like to hang out with roomies, watching TV, cooking.
On weekends, love to go to new places and explore bars n restaurants.

A few things about you:
Awesome and chill person, Likes to hang out. Not looking for someone who just needs a place to sleep.
You would enjoy cooking together or grilling out in nice weather over a bottle of wine, whisky or beer. I'm looking to share home with a new friend, not someone who will be in his/her room all the time.
Pets are okay.
Likes to explore places with me (sometimes), going to different bars or restaurants or just chill around.
Male or female (doesn't matter). Will be a plus if you likes to play pool.

Budget:

I'm hoping to find something to be in the range $900-$1200 per person. Let's figure out if we are a good personality match!!!!
