I would if I had a cam, buuut I don't anymore. Kinda screens off the Study Hall idea as well. Thanks anyways. :)

Skype works great without a camera; I use Skype frequently and rarely use a camera.

Oh would you look at that, my ignorance is showing. Haha!

ahem Thank you for informing me. I wouldn't be surprised if I end up striking up some sessions with people, now, at some point.

Getting a camera seems pretty low effort.

What's your true objection?

Have a rather lowly living situation, and several moderate things that need saving for with a no-nonsense attitude. My true rejection was indeed the price, buuuut I've no sense of actual cost... Looking up the price of a camera...

Hm. I could just put five bucks aside every time I want to walk to town to be around the crowd. I'm just as productive either way, here or there. Thanks for forcing me to notice this possibility! :)

How hard would it be for you to get a cam?

It is on the list of things-to-be-done, but not near the top. Maybe around a month's time, it might be feasible, and I'll pounce on it in anticipation.

Just in case, I will write down that I think this is a plausible candidate for solving a significant portion of your problems. That, and asking interesting people to Skype. :)

I agree with you. :)

I can tell I need to tackle any residual shyness or what-not that may get in the way, but it should hardly be difficult. Thanks for the input!
