Add me to the party list.

Since leaving Australia for the US, in 2009, I've not made any friends here and the ones I do have back in Oz don't take the time to contact me... well so much for them being friends.

Anyway, now with the passing of my Wife back in March of this year, it's really hitting home, how life alone can be tough. It's just not the social isolation, but having to do everything yourself, which can really take up your day.

I've tried the MeetUp thing and god forbid I try on-line self-esteem destroying sites (aka, Dating sites, POF and OkCupid being the worst offenders). However nothing ever came of those, well nothing lasting anyway. Maybe I'd get a few meetings but after that the groups would fizzle into nothing and I'm back where I started.

Now it's all about work, career and my computer gaming/programming/hardware building hobby/lifestyle. At least your computer will always be there for you.
