8:38 PM, EST It appears that I have done everything (and more) within my capacity to be ostracized. It wasn't like I was some sort of social butterfly to begin with either. Currently I am reading Party of One by Anneli Rufus, and I have realized that I am indeed a loner. However, the American media dislikes loners and places me in the category of serial killers and other societal misanthropes. Which I am...to some degree, especially with those that invade my personal space.
