Mate.. I am not from Brissy, but I am kinda in the same boat. Well atm I am a feeling a bit reclusive partly because of stress from work. But few month or even an year or so ago, I found myself feeling pretty good and I wanted to socialise, and do things that others do, but just found that I knew no one from here apart from people from work. All of them have established social groups.
Oh yeah, I am running out of excuses to say to people when people ask what I did during the weekend.
