JR - haven't read up on your sitch before, but since you're looking for friends with similar interests I wanted to recommend checking out meetup.com. It's basically an online way to find people in your area with similar interests. I've been to a number of meetup events and have met some great people that way. It's a little awkward at first but it really is just a bunch of normal people trying to find others to hang out with.
