Today I had a whole day to my self, but there was no where to go and no one to see. So I ended up searching the internet for people I could hang out with -- and failed. MeetUp.com offered up a local D&D group; it meets up on Tuesdays at Cape Fear Games (THE location for all my Magic the Gathering needs). However, the lack of the car for the day rendered me shackled indoors. 


I could've gone out for a walk again, true. I've been taking Kyle's parent's dog, Kona, out on frequent walks as of the past two weeks (no doubt attempts to escape the monotonous scenery behind the doors). Still, aimless wandering alone can get risky around these parts. Plus, chances were that Front street wouldn't be as populated with vital life/activity quite yet. I did fancy going up towards the College area, though, and attempting to spark up some random conversation with anyone interesting I happen to come upon. Still, the more I chewed on the idea, the less appealing and more awkward it seemed to be. Eventually, I ruled the idea out altogether. Hence, I turned to the internet, the world's largest information resource, in attempts to find any otaku or gamers in the area -- those being the basic interests that would hopefully yield awesome people (Nerds are, after all, awesome).


Still, as I searched and clicked, nothing of value seemed available. Even Facebook, with its self-proclaimed Networking prowess, couldn't let me search for friends via interest. Disheartened a bit, I reluctantly resigned my endeavors for the day and came to write about them instead. What's making me so hesitant?


I could go down and read by the pier? Chances are I'll just end up attracting creepers, though. The thought of being hit on bothers me at the moment. I don't want to attract lascivious minds; I want to find the simple, fun, and intelligent. How to? LoL.


 I'd like to hang out with our older friend, Robert, more. He's a philosophic type and I can tell we'd have good things to talk about. The only problem with that proposition is that I've only really met the man once. Plus, I don't feel quite comfortable intruding (since I don't have his contact information), especially without building up that security that comes after the acquaintance phase. 

[RANDOM]: So...somehow, the back left side of my scalp fell asleep. o.O'  That would be a first.

Well, I guess I'll keep looking. There has to be something around here. I'm sure as we get more settled in we'll run into more social events and this problem will dissipate. :)
