I recently moved to Sacramento at the influence of my friend/neighbor. I also needed to get out of a bad living arrangement with friends back in Martinez. I still work in the Bay Area but am occassionaly here in the Sacramneto area.
I'm rather shy at first but warm up quickly, however, I'm not exactly one to go exploring on my own so I've managed to spend my first 6 months here playing computer games, hanging out with neighbor and her co-workers. I'm not much of a drinker and I don't involve myself with drugs or those who do and as such I don't go to many parties and pretty much stay away from bars. I'll go with friends but usually stay so I can drive them home. My friends know that they can call me anytime for a ride if they need one - I would rather get woken up at 3am a drunk friend than getting a call from the hospital or the police.

Being single for almost 9 years has had it benefits - able to drop everything and travel for work - but it has been also been a very long, lonely and depressing time. I've seen my brother get married, which the family thought would never happen, my friends get married - some we thought never would as well.. ..and then there's me, still single. I haven't been "actively" looking for someone but I haven't exactly been ignoring it either. I do believe that if you're looking for someone to be with you will never find the right person.
