Indy, make friends with your local librarian. Really. When I first moved back here, I lived in a small rural town that had little money and was full of people who didn't value anything literate. But I found support at the local library.
And, I got all of the town gossip there, too.

That's a very good suggestion, especially since (a) I haven't been able to make any friends in my town and (b) the library is just a few blocks away.
