Silent night

What do you do when you feel lonely and there is no one around?  When the time is such that you can't call anyone or meet anyone.

Watching an episode of Due South and one character is sitting near a window, watching outside.  It is very late and the only lights come from a couple of street lights.  No traffic or anything else going on.  It reminds me of images from when as a kid I would spend time in the town of Xanthi, just outside of it, in a huge and very cold factory/home building of some relatives.  I would sleep on the sofa, living room while having a clear, but dark, view of the highway and further on the horizon the mountains of Rodopi.  Watching cars and mainly trucks go by.  I remember the feeling of both loneliness and excitement.  Something about the night that I just can't have enough of.
