I am kinda shy and was wondering how someone like me meets new people instead of the same people I see everyday at work. I like music alot (mainly older pop music) and like to work on computers and read books mainly astronomy. shhhh Carl Sagan is my hero. lol. Oh and my name is seven because I was born in 1977 on the 7th. Cool huh?

No. Just livin by myself now. Just a small little house my Mom left me. I was taking care of her up until she passed away away a year ago and I just kept livin here. I swear she died of a broken heart because my Pop passed away 6 months before her.

To meet NEW people I pony-up and take on new activities. There will already be a common interest (unless I don't like the activity) with the people you are around.....viola.....I meet people. Sometimes friendships grow from these.
There is this question though. Do you want to simply meet people and/or do you want new friendship?
