It's ten past eight on a Friday night., and I have nothing to do. I have no friends here close enough that I could call, out of the blue, and even if I did I can't think of anything to do. I can't even go out because its dark, and even if that doesn't intimidated me, it would still be a stupid thing to do. And besides, where would I go?

I have nothing to do here but read, or maybe work, all day, and how inspiring is that? Even if I can think of pointless errands to stir me from the house during daylight, they never last more than an hour, and then it is back to the same.

Its frustrating to think that this city is so lifeless, and that I seem so incapable of making the kind of close friends I had back home Who here would ever call me to invite me out to do something on a whim? No one. Anyone I know here has their own lives, and their own concerns, and people enough to fill them.

I just wonder whether, when the term starts up agian, will things will get better or worse? What's wrong with me? What's wrong with this place?

I felt the same when I moved to Toronto. I only had Lauren and dayna and sometimes Jen in the begining, and then Sandy later. It's taken me a long time to settle in, I had to join dance classes to meet people that I can really connect with.

I thought you were dead on IRC (or still reading) or I would have stayed...

I was still reading, mostly..... It's not the internet that's failed me: it's the Real World.

I finished Game of Thrones, though.

Once I have a computer that has IRC I will chat with you :( I think I would like to deal with people in English every now and then

Dunno when you went to bed, but you could have left me a message and I could have called you for a while, at least. Better than nothing...

I think you're on the right track with trying to get involved in dance classes and paying visits to the game store in order to meet some new people. I also think your idea of getting a small TV and dvd player is a good one (although I know about the fear of it being a slippery slope to more possessions ;)

Do you have a bike yet? If not, why? Transportation that's under your control would enable you to do more things.

Besides, your classes will start soon, and then you'll have more work to keep you occupied. Chin up :)
