I don't know - going to parties and pubs sounds pretty typical to me. :-P

Unfortunately for me, these things happen, like, once every few months. 
The rest of my life I heardly *speak* to another living human being. 
(Posting stuff on the Internet isn't the same.)

At the moment, just finding somebody to give my CV to is the problem.

Also, I really hate the way you apply to half a dozen people... and then 
never hear anything about it. It's like "gee, did I *really* apply to 
all these companies? Or did I just imagine it?" It's massively, 
massively demotivating. Why spend hours of your life doing something 
that produces no results of any kind?
