How to Win Friends and Influence People

[mermaidcafe.livejournal.com]

...or at least win friends.

I moved to this area a few months ago from far, far, away and don't really have friends here yet. I'm finally realizing that my job/lifestyle aren't conducive to making friends here, so I wanted to both get some suggestions on awesome social functions and "introduce" myself in case anybody is in a similar situation. My work schedule is demanding enough that I can't commit to regular volunteer gigs, which has always helped me meet people in the past. How do smart, artsy (but not hipster), progressive, twenty-something women make friends around here?

I'll also add that I'm applying to be an adjunct English instructor and I'm a writer, so I'd love to meet people involved in academia and/or writing. I'm happily coupled and not looking for a date; I'd just like to try to form a social life here. If you have any suggestions or want to say hi, let me know of any awesome activities or send me a message.

Thanks! :)

*snerk!* I still don't believe it without photographic evidence! Whee!

Oh, there's plenty of photographic evidence...

But damnitall, not much of you. Hmm... Must remedy this.

I'm not photogenic. That's why I'm glad there isn't much photographic evidence.

Of course, you sexy thing! Hahahaha. ;-)

Hey, when we going to the symphony? Wait. Season ended. There's still stuff to go to. I got the mad crazy hookups for free tix, yo.

Mmm, okay! We can go to the Symphony during the next season if you want. I was looking at the schedule and there's a couple of things I do want to see.

Otherwise, there could be the other stuff also. I'll have to see as to what it is so as to be able to get the appropriate dress.

Incidentally, I need to get black tie for the Symphony next season...
