As I drove home from San Francisco last night, I had a hard time believing that I was really 'living' in California. I've never dreamt about making my way west, yet here I am. I've been here now for 2 months, but it doesn't feel like it's been that long or that I'm settling in. I think I've really been holding back on a lot of things due to the issue that the plan was to be in one place for 3 months and then move as my new roommate moved out to the area (which is now happening in a few weeks).
As much as I hate moving, I really can't wait for this to happen. I think it will allow me to FINALLY get settled in. I'm living out of my bedroom right now. I've barely used the kitchen because all of my stuff is still packed. The house I'm in, with 3 guys, is great, but it's just not my 'style.'
The new move will allow me to be much, much closer to things happening in San Francisco, which means building more meaningful relationships. First off, the culture I'm working in is mostly male. I usually prefer guys as friends over gals (less drama!), but I'm really needing some girl time. There are two ladies that I've connected with, but it's sometimes hard to get all of us together as schedules are crazy busy. With the new company I'm working with, my 'shit radar' is trying to tune in more with who is genuine and who isn't. A lot of people will try to 'friend' me only for the reason of who I work for. I don't need or want those type of friends.
Once I make the move, I can see myself branching out to getting involved in more community things. I checked out a church a few weeks ago and enjoyed it, kinda. I just don't want to plant somewhere until I'm settled into my home first. I definitely need to find some 'non-tech' related things as right now, my entire world is tech which means I'm feeling more and more OK with working all the time as I have nothing else to do right now. That's definitely not healthy and I need to break that habit.
All in all, I'm loving life and work. There are pieces missing that I hope will start to fall into place in the next 2 months or so. May need a little push from the blog world in holding me to getting out more once the move is complete. Think you can help with that? ;)

You sound like you're in a much better place all around. I think the move to your own place where you can settle in will make things even better still (I know it did for me when I first moved out to NM).
Good luck with things. And um...get out there and do more non-techy stuff already! ;-)
ahem...where have you been?
