Lonely In A Crowded Room

I've been very bothered lately by my lack of friends. I am beginning to detest social networking sites because it seems like people would much rather drop you a "happy birthday" note rather than get off their lazy bums and spend the day with you. It's getting old.

Living in the suburbs, I don't meet anymore. All of the people who live anywhere close to me are married with children. And here I am...a spring chicken of sorts, with a crappy car, Shaba and Bandit, and a Clif Bar for breakfast. I feel socially awkward. Like the girl on the swingset during recess. The one who smells a bit like okra, oatmeal, and Trident. The one who wears those colorful leather sandals and talks to the clouds. That's me. Nice to meet you.

It's not that I'm not social-I think I'm fairly easy to get along with. I just don't know where to begin! Lately, I've been so busy with my youngest sister and that helps a lot, but there's still something missing. I'd love to have someone I could catch a late movie with or go on a weekend trip with. Will that person please stand up?!

Anyway...just wanted to share that.
