Aside from my debilitating introversion, I have a hard time meeting people because I have yet to find people who are interested in the same things that I am. This has a great deal to do with the fact that I have lived in a small town all my life. For one thing, there aren't a lot of people to talk to and then, the people that are around are concerned with small town drama.
Well, last fall I moved out of that small town environment. I have moved to a bigger town. It is a small town too, but it is growing rapidly and it is less than a half an hour from an exciting city that is modest in size but it is also growing. The city is attracting young and smart professional people. And it has an Occupy group. I want to participate in this movement very much; I think it is what I have needed for a long time, but I do not know anyone who would go to the meetings with me.
I have done a lot of things on my own, but I am a bit nervous about getting into this by myself. It would be nice to have a friend go with me. So, I have decided to put up an ad on Craigslist to find a politically savvy woman who is looking to get involved with the Occupy movement and would like to carpool with me. This will be my first time on Craigslist. I'm a bit worried but hopeful. I have perused the local personal ads and it looks like there are some people who are looking to meet new people. Let's see if any want to get radical..
