On most days, I go to her house around 5:PM or so, take her out to eat, take her back home, and sit on her sofa playing my Nintendo DS or something until I send her to bed and go home (usually around 10:30 or so). My parents set up an Internet connection there, so I can go online if I want; it's not much different from simply staying in my own house doing what I normally do. As for social contact, well, you're probably right about that. I am on a first-name basis with some of the staff at my local IHOP, though. ;)
