My neighborhood has a facebook group, which I was kicked out of because I said "rude" things about the HOA. (What I said was basically "you know, as much as it's been raining lately, you'd think the HOA would understand that we can't mow our lawns every 3 days because it's wet all the time and would cut down the nastygrams." Which was rude and awful and ban-worthy. *eyeroll*) I typically run by myself because I like it.
I did consider joining the local run club, but their Sunday 8 am run doesn't really work for me. (I'd have to get up early in order to take my empty-stomach meds, wait 30 minutes to eat, then wait 30 minutes before exercise and drive 10 minutes into town. The 10-minute drive can be included in the digestion time.)
My hobbies that involve people are tai chi (which is only not solitary if you have class, and that isn't social time) and going to the pub. Talking about SFF is also social, but it really only works if other people have read the same books as you and are interested in, say, speculating about what Miles Vorkosigan would do if he'd been the one to hatch Temeraire. Which would be a hell of a panel at a convention.
Honestly, mostly what I want to do is sit around and shoot the breeze with friends, whether that's over dinner out or beers at someone's house, I don't care. But the friends I want to do that with aren't close by, and the ones close by don't feel very close these days.
