[New and looking for friends!]

I have indeed looked at the other threads in this forums and am doing so right now. Is this not the place to post threads looking for friends?

[New and looking for friends!]

Hey all,
I've been on SL for a couple of days and haven't really met anyone. I'm looking to meet people who are cool and have similar interests to me (which are reading, history, video games, art, animals, music). Come and find me or tell me great places to go if you would. I'm pretty shy so I don't have the easiest time meeting new people.
