I need to do stuff

I need to pick up some hobbies. I'm afraid that I'm losing touch with social reality, by which I mean that I don't interact with people very much outside of work. It's really frustrating, and I'm pretty sure I keep getting depressed because of it. I sit at home every weekend and play games with my brother on the 360, but it gets so frustrating after a while.

I need hobbies. Unfortunately, this isn't the biggest city in the world, so my choices are limited. Apparently there's a very large hiking group nearby, but I don't know if I'd be into that too much. I've found one--yes, one--book club in the area but have yet to attend a meeting...I'm afraid I'll be too disappointed by it. I could be wrong, but right now I'm not willing to take the chance. I'm half-tempted to start my own book club and get some different people involved. The problem with book clubs is that I hate pretentious, elitist bastards, and more often than not those guys will show up to the meetings. That sort of thing happens a lot in college especially. I always felt like an outsider, even among fellow English majors. I guess that's why I didn't keep many friends after I graduated.
