I'm feeling kinda lonely tonight. I think it's finally sinking in that I'm living in a new town, knowing very few people, all of whom have other friends and stuff to do, and that I want to have plans but don't. I can't expect people to hang out with me all the time, but I really need to make some more friends around here so I can hang out with people and do stuff and get out of the house. If it's like this when I'm currently living in shared accommodation with someone I get on with and sit with chatting sometimes while we watch TV, I'm starting to wonder what it's going to be like to live entirely on my own...

I can't really offer for anyone to stay over here (at least until I move around September-time), not that you'd want to since hospital accommodation is so rubbish, but would anyone like to make plans to hang out on a weekend or something? I can drive and come to you, we can do whatever, I'm not fussy. I just want to have something planned so I feel less like I'm going to become the next victim on CSI who had no friends so they can't ask anyone questions about her life, and end up poking around her home commenting on how sad it must have been.

You can be the most social person in the world and still find it difficult moving somewhere to start a job - joining clubs and stuff helps to an extent but it's kinda like, for the most part you just see people there, and the evenings where you're not doing that kind of thing are still lonely. Especially when everybody's older than you and have kids and all the rest of it. Nobody up here would be even remotely interested in half of my hobbies and interests so I just don't talk about it. As time goes on I think you'll find a few kindred spirits around the place but it's difficult to stay occupied in the meantime. When my annual leave renews at Easter I could probably come visit or something :) Hang in there!
