What to do, what to do?

I have joined this site last week and must say that so far I have been happily impressed by the friendliness of the people I have met. However, I must say that spending my nights alone on my couch while chatting with people from all over the world might be fun, but I'd also like to go out and do stuff. Is there anything to do in or around Ottawa? Or is there anyone else looking for an activity partner (beach, hiking, movies, dinners, games, etc.)? I see that this group had no activity in two years, but there must be Ottawanians looking do be social still!!
