What all these activities have in common is that they are all little worlds -- activities that a lot of people work together on and grow very tight while doing. They all become communities and can also lead to outside social scenes that are tied into them. Find something like that and you'll get to know a lot of new people really well and, with luck, never be bored.

wow, excellent post.
he's on the ball.
if you really want to spice up your life, force yourself to do something you wouldn't expect yourself to do. sometimes when you're thrown into different situations you adapt and learn a great deal, expanding your life. when i moved in with my roomates, they were the type of guys i would never have voluntarily moved in with. and it ended up providing me with a whole new perspective on life i never would have found.
instead of trying to pick what you want to do, you can let it be random. print out a list of local classes and events and tape it to the wall. throw a dart blindly and see where it hits. do it, take the class. you may end up sewing, dirtbiking, dancing, or cooking. either way, the worst you'll end up with is a new skill.
want to travel? that commercial where the college kids show up at the airport not knowing where they're going to be going and pick something at random from the monitors would definitely be a break from boredom.
