welcome! love it that you verified immediately. so many don't, simply out of not knowing. if you have creative urges, this is the place to get them out, make friends, and possibly a few sbd.

i'm sure you'll do great.

as far as san diego is concerned, I Love Ocean Beach. and you aren't so far from Slab city which has a hotspring and is it's whole own world. I'm sure your friends know about it.
