So, it's getting pretty bad. My whole social life revolves around the computer these days. Except for the few times Micheale has rescued me with a diet coke, I haven't seen or talked to my friends in weeks. I've been lonely and the computer is filling the void. Yesterday as I was putting on my shoes to go to aerobics (I did actually get OUT of the house yesterday!) I realized that the Reebok's that I bought at a GNO several months ago just weren't going to work. My first thought was "I'll see if Micheale wants these". Instead of getting the phone to call Micheale, my first instinct was to ask her via facebook if she wanted them. How pathetic am I? Is this what it's come to for me? Communicating via facebook and comments on blogs? Coveting those highly-traffic blogs thinking that my value is based on how many comments I receive? (comment PLEASE so I can feel good today!!!) Everyone has heard my story about hard my move to our current house was. It's been two years now and I'm still feeling like an outsider. Things are definitely better but I'm afraid I'm still trying to fill the void by living a virtual life. Sigh...I need some human contact. Anyone?

5 people not afraid to say something:
Hi Ang, I know how you feel. I love seeing little messages from my friends. Somebody does love me! We need to get together sometime real soon. Oh, and I have a solution! Move by me!
Indeed. I often MSN Cheryl from the other room because it's easier than yelling or getting up and walking 10 feet. Same thing happens at work. I will spend hours texting when I could just get what I needed in a 2 minute phone call. Strange world we are living in now...
You can generally find a group (the members of the group vary by the week) at The Barn on Wednesdays about 1 PM each week--wait, you DID find us. Next time, come join us. we'll help corrall all the munchkins!

I feel the same way... I constantly check for comments and such and more often than not, I get none.
We'll have to keep up on each others blogs and comment a lot and then we can both feel good about ourselves!
The difference is that I can check, post or comment when I think about it and get a chance--what is convenient for me isn't always convenient for the rest of the world. Right now its 1030pm and you are probably home from a run and crawling into bed. You really don't want to listen to me babble...on the other hand if it was 1030am and I had just changed laundry and picked up a beverage I'd call (or just ambush you:). GNO is next week--put it on your social calendar!
