I could go the mystery science theater 3000 route though, just make it up in my mind after gleaning enough craziness from people's overheard conversations, probably be close to as good by then. Or my senility will be advanced enough by that time that my own craziness will be entertaining enough on it's own while I wait.

OMG!!! MST3K is one of my all time FAVORITE shows!!! I wish it were still on TV. I think my favorite episode was The Screaming Skull - with Hobgoblins coming in a close second.

I liked it for the most part, some of my friends loved it. It was a hoot for parts, it was like Life of Brian to me, parts were funny, but I can't see playing it over and over like The Holy Grail. Friend of mine when we were in our later teens gave that movie to me, nearly peed myself the first time I watched that.

To the OP, stop torturing yourself. We all know people build their lives up and try to sound like they have much more going on than they do.

seriously. get some friends that you can make memories with.

join a running group,
start a sewing circle,
frequent your local coffee shop, book store, library.
get a pet,
if you game, join a gamers group,
join a bowling league,

just get out and start making friends.

that way you wont have to fantasize about having them...

One thing I like to do is listen in on other people's conversations. (Yes I know that is weird and spooky, but!) Many times there conversation is dull and means nothing to me, but in other cases the people seem so interesting. I fantasize that I am sitting at their table and are one of their close friends. I wish I was with them because they seem so interesting.

As they leave and go off to their glamorous jobs and lives, I return to my own little world, all alone.

I can be in all the clubs and activities in the world but I can not force people to want to spend time with me. Ever heard of being lonely in a crowd? Look at my postings, they are the real me, how I think, what I wonder about, does this sound like someone who is going to be popular?

Been there done that. Somehow, I don't fit into the common dribble of life. But I don't write myself as the odd one out at all. If you met me, you'd never think that.

well with that attitude, never.

if you are a generally friendly person then it is not hard. if you are a happy person then it is not hard.

are you the type of person people want to be around?
if no, why not?
