The first step

It strange. I've been feeling all fangirly over DW the last couple of weeks. Anticipation was filling my head with loverly mushiness, I couldn't wait for Open Beta to arrive, I couldn't wait to start exploring this new, potentially wonderful, place.
Or rather, I could wait. I didn't mind waiting at all, it was a nice feeling. I don't know anybody to bug for an invitation code, and I felt good enough about what I saw that I wanted to pay for it.
April 30th rolls around, and I suddenly feel... Well, not apprehensive. But I... This is a totally new place, and everywhere I look I see people who already know each other. I don't know anybody here. And all of a sudden I'm shy. Haven't felt this shy in a long time, but there you go.

I want to use DW to find new people, new friends, and it seems like a good place to find awesome people. Just need to figure out how it's done. ;)
