I think I've been in some sort of depressed slump lately.

Haha! Oops! Well, I forgot about you guys and your hick laws... That's quite a good excuse though! How about some fake ID?

Fake ID works fine for getting drunk, but not so well for getting a job.

GET A JOB IN A CAFE

Why?

I can't be bothered to write another list... Trust me, it's a good idea!

I'm there with you guys too. I don't leave the house unless its to go to work or go eat. Instead of hating it, I sort of love it. I've all this money to buy every game I ever wanted, ever, and I have no time to play them. So I get to play an hour of this, an hour of that, and move on. I love it. Barely ever do I invite anyone over or go anywhere to be social, and if I do, I have a gameboy of some kind with me. 8) I feel so awesome.

I even work night shift so I have to deal with less people! It's great!

For whatever social whatever, you sound like you're ahead of me. I barely talk to anybody outside the girlfriend. I do the twitter thing, I hang out here and Destructoid writing stuff, I write for a toy website sometimes, and that's about it. Most communication I have with people, people say I'm a dickhead or too much to handle. I've gotten to this angry bitter point where I don't give a fuck what anybody thinks or says of me, I'm just out there. I barely contribute anything to places I go like racketboy or hardcore 101, only coming out of that social hole to throw some wisdom or foolishness out.

My days are like this:

Wake up.
Go to work.
Come home to play games for 4-6 hours.
Sleep.

And I can't complain about it. I love it!

As for the girlfriend thing, don't try dating sites. Those are stupid. Use myspace or a facebook, find girls in your area (within thirty minutes) who are into watching movies/video games and that want to stay home all the time. You'll find the perfect player two to your player one. I have. We're at a point now where she went out and bought a 360, and now we end up playing over live instead of in person. There are chicks into this, you just have to look for them.

And if you're not looking for that and just want someone, anyone, this might come off strange, but find girls you sort of know, read whatever their interests are in music,movies, or books, whatever they fill out on that site, look up just enough information to pass as a fan from wikipedia, and talk to them about it. Use that as your in.

Also never ask a girl out over the internet, use things like "hang out" "come over" "spend time with" that sort of thing. Always kiss on the first such hang out, at the very end. That's been my luck. I'm three for three on this, it works.

What makes it a hick law? Hicks wouldn't even have a drinking age. Maybe the UK definition of hick is different.

I am pretty sure you can sell alcohol at 18.

I think there's a distinction between sell and serve. For example, the guy in the grocery store is selling you alcohol, while the bartender is serving you alcohol. And I believe it's 21 to serve alcohol.

+1 get a job at a cafe and +1 exercise

I personally do jogs. It takes 30 minutes every other day and isn't very exhausting that drains your energy. And I think I feel the most healthy after doing that compared to working out certain parts of the body. Working out the heart gets you longer life too and you sing better!
