Desparate for some peers...
The longer I stay in my pseudo-depressed state the more I wonder about it. I have it nailed down now: I don't have any peers here (or elsewhere) since Minor and I don't communicate anymore. I feel utterly alone in the world with regards to my interests and personality and aspirations...
