Where has all the fun gone?


I just recently made a major change in my life and uprooted my whole life, boyfriend and all and moved across the country to sunny (well not today) California. I have been visiting here since I was little and have tried to get out here before thinking it would be this wonderful Mecca and I would be crazy busy with nothing but fun things to do. I have spent more hours at home in my house then I think I have since before I got my walking shoes.
All the people that I know are friends of my father, the reason that I moved out here. He runs his own automotive repair shop in the East Bay of San Francisco, lost his secretaries and needed some help. I was whining one day about my health insurance and he offered me a job and thus the ball rolled on... Sorry side ramble...not that I think that anyone is reading these but it feels right to get it out there in the world. The other people that I know are family and they have their own lives. I am struggling trying to find something to adjust myself here and make myself happy.
This is the first time that I have not had a sturcture means of getting introduced to a new surrounding, the last experience I had with this would have been back in college and even then I knew about 5 people from High School and it was living in on campus housing so you had no choice but find people to meet and talk to. How do you do it when you move to a new area??
