What is wrong with being reclusive?  I think it is great not to have to deal 
with the mass of humanity and its noise.  As I write this I am parked behind 
a house on a farm in the San Benito Valley.  I am hearing the faint noise of 
an airplane but that could well be because of a rather large grass fire not 
all that far away.  There is no danger of it reaching here as the wind is 
blowing the other way.

I like to control my exposure to people.  A chat now and again can be 
stimulating if the other side is interesting and knowledgeable.  Last night 
I was invited to a showing of an anti Iraq war movie and I found a place 
away from the crowd but did mingle after, mostly to get nearer the food.

I just need to find a female friend with similar views.
