That would probably work, if I did it.
On the other hand, that would mean parting with delicious, delicious cookies! I couldn't do that! ;)
And my neighbors probably wouldn't appreciate being woken up at four in the morning, either. :(
Indeed, "being lonely" is something I should be able to fix. There are lots of people I used to know that I could get in touch with, and at least one lives pretty close by and has said I can drop in any evening I want. It's just so hard to get off the computer...
If you believe that you spend that time on the computer because you're lonely, this would seem to be a prime example of "experiential pica". If I were you my hesitation would probably be inertia, feeling like it would be odd to just stop in even if they left that offer open. In which case, perhaps you ought to will yourself to do it a first time so that it becomes more normal. You have little to lose, presumably.
