I know how you feel. I was homeless for a few months and it basically killed my gym-habits. (Can't afford food, so let's not burn EXTRA calories) Now that I'm back on my feet I feel terrible, but...
Heh. Here's one for my day/week/too long. I guess one of the guys in my friend group has had a thing for me. He told this to my roommate, who is a mutual friend. My roommate decided it wasn't in...

My social life has pretty much stayed the same, but I was always a bit of an introvert/loner anyway.
On the other hand, as a person who works for tips, I've been averaging $6-7 more dollars/hour. :)
