Hello everyone. I discovered this place a few nights ago. I was bored and lonely as usual, typed "loneliness" or some derivative into google and this site came up. Hopefully I can meet some friends here, or at least enjoy it enough here to stop by and kill some time. I've been in chat a few times. The people there seem cool. I guess I should tell you a little bit about myself.
As my name implies, I am a sad sack. I always expect the worst in life. And why not? I am pretty much a total failure. I'm 30 years old, live in the eastern U.S., work for a quasi-governmental agency and am very much alone.
My loneliness is somewhat by choice and somewhat due to circumstances. I had friends once upon a time but I abandoned them all a few years when I had a mental breakdown of sorts. Never bothered to go back, and being that I'm pretty shy and socially awkward, I never made any new ones. I had a girlfriend......once.....briefly. I'd like to meet somebody one day but I'm not holding my breath on that one. For about two years pretty much all I did was read, watch TV, take long walks, aimlessly surf the net and sleep. Lots of sleeping in those days.
For a long time I was fine being alone in my own strange bubble. About a year ago that changed. I met somebody online that I really connected with and even after a falling out, that gave me a desire to socialize again....even if it was only over the internet. I've met some cool people so far but they seem to come and go
Anyway, now I've become an internet junkie. Hopefully I can meet some nice people here too.
I read a lot. H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King are my favorite writers. Watership Down is a great book too. I'm also a fan of the Harry Potter, Dan Brown, and "Narnia" books.
I don't watch my TV nowadays but I'm hooked on The Office and Fringe. Seinfeld is my all time favorite show. I was also a big Simpsons and South Park fan. I used to be a TV junkie. Chances are if it's obscure, I've seen it at some point.
Some of my favorite movies include The Shawshank Redemption, The Big Lebowski, all the Star Wars movies except Phantom Menace, Rocky 2-4, Clockwork Orange and The Usual Suspects.
I used to be really into sports when I was younger. Not so much anymore, although I still follow the NFL pretty closely. I was also a huge pro wrestling fan once upon a time.
I don't have a religious affiliation. I believe in a higher power. I just think he/she/it is totally insane and/or indifferent to us lowly humans. I'm pretty nihilistic. There isn't too much I care about. Nor do I get excited about things very often.
But I'm not all doom and gloom 24/7. I swear! I don't think anybody can pull that off. It's more like 20/6 in my case
I also know tons of useless information. I'd probably kill on Jeopardy if I could get over the stage fright.
Some of my favorite bands are Europe~!, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, GnR, older Metallica and Rush. I like My Chemical Romance a lot too. As you can see, I mainly like classic rock/old school heavy metal but I went through country and hip hop phases as well.
OK. I think I've rambled on enough. Now I'm just telling bad jokes. This is why I didn't post right away. I tend to be long-winded and rambling. Needed to make sure I had plenty of time to type away as the thoughts came to me
