Bad joke. You can do better.
I've found that I'm too busy for most social interaction these days, and my so-called "friends" are also. Not too concerned about it ... like I said, I'm busy, like 20 hours a day, 7 days a week. Definition of "friend" is also important ... I know people from 20 and 30 years ago that are still friends, but we don't get together much, sometimes for five or ten years now. We all got lives that consume us.
What you are and who you are isn't measured by your friends. Do what you want to do, what you enjoy doing ... and have pride to do it with a clue. You'll find yourself surrounded by other people into the same things. Life is about moving forward, including meeting new people, instead of stagnating with the same old crowd forever.
Besides, you're on teh 'Netz. You'll be glad that you're out of touch with people while it's still possible. Within 10 years everyone you every knew will be in your computer and you won't be able to hide.
Social interaction is highly over-rated, anyway. Most people use it as a drug to piss their lives away because they don't know what to do with themselves. Those sorts bore the fuck out of me.

I've only got one real life friend, or best friend. We hang out on the weekends. Everyone else I decided not to keep in touch or they decided not to keep in touch.
Sosseres:
I have dropped 3 or 4 sets of friends and havn't tried to make any new ones after dropping the last ones (which were nice and I liked, also shared interests). I simply can't bother with the upkeep of friendship, not even in easy online ones. It is a failing that I consider time spent chatting with people on a shared schedule to be a drain instead of a recreation (I include my biological family here as well).
If you do want friends then you have to consider which type you want. Online ones that share your interests exactly. Offline ones in kind of the same sphere. A special type of friend offline or online and so on. Then figure out where you can meet people like that and prepare to be disappointed until you hit it off after a while.
Soryon:
Friends are over rated. Aside from "drinking buddies" I only have 2 real friends (as in I can count on them for things when I an in need and we hang out doing things other then sitting at the bars.) Not counting the ones who have died. I often find myself more content by myself anyway, but its nice to have people to call when you wanna get out of the house, playing some golf or going fishing is pretty boring alone.
Anyway- As you get older, friends grow apart and become less important to enjoying your time. If you really need friends then get into some social activities. They aren't going to come to you, just like girlfriends. You gotta make an effort also.
