You guys aren't going to beleive this 5

Hey Thornton, I'm not sure if you got your kayak, but I noticed fishing in your post about what you've been up to. If you didn't get a kayak, do it, they really open up areas for fishing, you can sometimes find them at a big discount on craigslist.

I just wanted to give a suggestion for GAL, look online for fishing forums in your area, or better yet kayak fishing, and see if there are any people that want to meet up to fish. I joined a kayak fishing club through a NC forum, and a bunch of us get together every couple of months for a camping/fishing weekend, and individuals meet up for a day on the water in different areas. I can't tell you how many "friends" I've made since I've joined, and the best part is when you meet up, there is no social stress because if all you talk about is fishing it's completely acceptable/normal. And I also have people I now know personally that I chat with online on the forum, which is a bonus for those quiet times at home.

Being in a new state with only one friend nearby, it greatly accelerated my social life.
