Shiny boyfriend is long-distance, so moving to a different part of the wrong continent changes nothing.

Being home all day is quite depressing, yes. It works as long as I can pick myself up and go on long walks/errands/errands that turn into long walks when I get lost, but I tend to stay home more than I should.

I'm not alone, though. I have a flatmate and spend all day Skyping with shiny boyfriend and talking to friends over IM and debating on IRC. I actually crashed recently due to lack of alone time, so in the future I'll make sure to take some.
