alone... being raised as an only child is loneliness. Talking to yourself as a child because you were the only one is loneliness. You might feel alone, but thats probably because you've never been truly lonely your entire life.

That or you just really want a closer companion to fill that void *ahem*girlfriend*ahem*

I was thinking about writing a book about my time in London, called "Seven Million Lonely"

its called independance. let it embrace you =P
