brother, im facing the same problem as u are, yes i am working, but my gf not here, my family not here, but i got internet, got online games, got dota online, and i have a huge collection of pc games (i havent own a console but planning to buy one soon), and the internet gives me a lot of tv series and well... there is just so many things to do within so little time

so now what i do is to get into portable gaming, not necessarily to buy a psp or ds or gba, i just load those games onto my 6600 and play....

other than that, try to talk less to ppl online, or reject your frens' invitation for online games, more time to play games but risk of losing your frens...

hehehehehe
