Nap,
Your story really resonates with mine. I know the Friday Night Loneliness all too well. I live in a very urban area where come 7:00 on a friday night, the place just gets wild. And even though I'm supposed to feel better about *not* being one of those loud drunk people causing a ruckus leaving the bars, I still get pretty envious.
Since I joined this board, alot of my loneliness has gone away. Stick around and keep posting. This is a wonderful place. Glad to see you here.
