Lonely?

As of today, my three favourite hobbies have been singing, writing, and talking to myself. Kind of weird thngs to do, I know. But what is a talkative person like me to do when the people she chats with the most (her mother and sister) are gone and she is left with the dog and the dad?

Its really not that bad actually because I kind of like to be alone, well, sometimes. Actually I'm not really alone but I do feel kind of lonely from time to time. Wow, that really didn't make sense did it? I guess that what I am trying to say is that I enjoy having time to myself to just think, read, write, and talk (to myself, yes!), but I also would love to just hang out with friends. It seems like forever since I've done that!

Actually, in my mom's opinion I never do it..or not enough. Sometimes I feel like I am being considered anti-social...but really I am not. At least I don't think. Just maybe not the most social person in the world. I'm the kind of person that if they have a good book would rather stay at home and read it then get together with a friend...unless of course that friend were to phone and say "Hey, lets do something." Do I just feel like being wanted?

Yes, perhaps that is it. Almost all of my life, nearly every day until two years ago, a knock would sound at the door and a girl would be there asking if "Elizabeth could come out and play." I would go to her house and ask her the same just as often. We had a lot of fun although we also argued often. But then that girl moved away.

But I'm not really lonely....I do have half my family at home, people I can phone, and...people I can write about (strange to you probably, but to me most enjoyable.) And I won't be a homebody very long--I'll be at an art class next week and then I'm going to visit my best friend accross the sea (island.) So there really is a lot to look forward to besides songs, books, and computer screens.

Note: Yes, I know I can also be quite shy at times. But if you know me well then you know how I can talk!
