I was also not very social for a while when I initially joined; one you "take the plunge" and start posting more, though, you'll find that the people here are extremely interesting and usually very warm-hearted.
Have you ever been to the Space Center in Huntsville? I have always wanted to go-- I live in the Southeast U.S., but not close enough to Huntsville to where I can go on any random weekend.
Does your username have any correlation to your hockey interest?
Anyways, I hope that you are able to make many useful connections here.
