...And I think for the sake of what I laughingly refer to as my dignity I'll attribute the breaking down in tears just now more to the fact that what actually started it was sitting here thinking how I haven't even got anyone I could go hang out with IRL. My social network is a hell of a lot more robust than it used to be, but it's still almost entirely online or based around specific events, not the "I feel bad right now, you want to go out to lunch to cheer me up?" sort of interactions that make up most Normal People's lives. I need more meatspace friends... or maybe just a damn job that'd get me out of the house, that would probably help with the Meeting Live Humans part.
