pontifex, you sound like you are on the boat to Depression Island.
may i suggest you join a gym, get involved in an organization, do some volunteer work.
you need to be doing something besides work and the internet or else you are going to feel isolated and lonely... like you do.
The gym would be a good idea. Do something positive for your body with all of that time. And the money thing isnt an issue. Everyone can afford to join a gym.

oh, and right now's probably not the best time to be out meeting people since I can't talk properly because of the surgery I had on my mouth.
a positive personality attracts people and reduces the effort it requires to be social, which is nice because when social interaction is forced it becomes less-than-natural and generally sucks.
The reason I mentioned that is not because I'm selling self-help books door-to-door, but because from you numerous posts I've gathered that your attitude rather sucks. That's ok, it's natural. People tend to pride themselves on their ability to see the flaws in the world, but lifes a lot nicer when you take the time appreciate all the things that don't suck. It's unfotunate that this behavior is not natural to most of us, but if you make small efforts towards this everyday your percpetion of your world and therefor your ability to be a part of it will improve.

You know I've got to admit though, sitting by myself staring at othe people sitting by themselves sounds a like a reaaaaally awkward thing to do. lol I know what you're saying, but I can't help but get the image of pont (though I have no idea what he looks like) sitting in some chic coffee bar staring at people and "waiting for friends to happen" out of my head

Sorry man, NFL2K owns Madden.

Sad. Get a hobby. And I don't mean fvcking video games. Go to the gym right now, get a membership and vow to get in shape and do a triathlon next year. Join a triathlon club. Take some rock climbing lessons. Pick a marathon to train for. You are doing what most people do which is burn up hours that turn to days, weeks, years and then you die and you've done nothing of merit. What is your passion? Get one and don't make it video games, they are the path to nothingness and a distraction. Use them when you are in the mood or otherwise winding down, but don't center your free time around them.
