Lonesome in this old town
Cry in your beer if you want, but you'll probably feel better if go get some new friends. People all over the world are logging onto the Net, looking to make your acquaintance. Some of them even want to talk about rocketry or whatever you're finding compelling just now. And wouldn't it be nice to hear a kind word from some remote part of the world? So go ahead. It's easy. You will find people of almost every background online: Kids who love bugs. Canadian punk rockers. People who adore Precious Moments figurines. You can even write to someone who's in the big house, or find an e-pal in Siberia. Does it seem like you're the only book-lover in your town? Then find a literature partner who wants to discuss poetry in an online pub. If you want to find a buddy to ask about the best ski resorts of the moment, let a pen-pal search engine locate skiing enthusiasts who can advise you. Whatever your hobby or interest, you're likely to find someone who shares it on the Net. You can practice your French with a Parisian pen pal, discuss your scientific ideas in a physics forum, or trade recipes on the chocoholics mailing list. Maybe you've just retired and wouldn't mind getting to know some of your fellow retirees. If you need help getting through hard times, someone in an online support group or newsgroup might lend you a cybershoulder. So start looking for an e-mail friend right now. You've got plenty of good reasons to do it. Besides, you might get a few more presents on your birthday.
