Glad we can entice another BMer into the fold!
I've found you. You seem to be far away from everything, ever. Your nearest neighbour is Sacha, but even he's about a month away. On the plus side, you don't have to worry about being picked on by the bug guys 
johndoenuts to your right (quite far to your right) seems to be inactive. He has a level 1 planet with an odd number of people on it. You can check on the neighbours tab (might only populate next turn). If you fancy grabbing another planet, his might be your best choice.
It should liven up around there fairly shortly as I'd guess players will start spawning there soon.
I do feel ever so lonely
If he is inactive I shall do my best to go kill him!
For the moment though, going to try colonising what I can and seeing what happens
