That could be a problem. My family was in Hiltonhead, SC the other week and for 8 days I was home alone. I spent almost all of those days hanging out with friends, playing Settlers of Catan (with friends) or playing SC2 to kill time. I also did a few productive things like work and go to the gym 4 times.
Too bad you don't have a job or friends. You should really get on that. I have both and I still felt like killing myself when I came home to an empty house at night. My self worth is based a lot on my social activities though, so you might experience this differently if you're used to being alone.

This blog made me laugh so hard. <3
Do a 72-hour scare fest where I do not sleep and go outside at 3am every morning to run around for an hour with a flashlight strapped to my head, while watching horror movies during the day and eating nothing but chocolate and energy drinks.
loooooooooooooolllllllllllll

LOL that always tends to happen I find. Perhaps it was a good thing  You can still do a bunch of online stuff at least.

Totally not surprised you can't think of exciting things to do...I live an hr or so away and it's the same with me. I also don't drive much. So the options I usually consider:
1) you could always take the Septa into Philly for a day (I think there's a line that goes to Reading?),
2) go to the gym,
3) text/facebook one of the few people from high school you keep in touch with on the off-chance they're around,
4) go to grocery store, buy a ridiculous amount of unhealthy, microwaveable, and canned food, then sit in front of computer and read TL, catch up on shows, online shop, and play games
I usually end up doing #4. Since you're ill, this one may be best for you too. Just take care of yourself and eat lots of oranges! (This really works for me when I start getting sick.)

Maybe it's just being old, but I'd use that sort of time for a combination of gaming and trying to teach myself a new skill, like maybe learning how to make good rainmeter skins, or teach myself calculus.
But then, me home alone would mean my wife and son were out of town. That doesn't equal party when you're a geek with a wife who does IT and lets you buy computer stuff.

This is an astonishingly good idea.

I'm thinking of going outside right now and hosing myself down in the midnight cool air.

I guess a hospital stay could be an interesting tale to tell? I'm not sure what you are going for with the whole hosing idea. I recommend a movie marathon! You can do Starwars, LotR, Harry Potter, or by genre, etc.

Do you have anything you generally want to do at home, but don't feel comfortable doing because of other people? I'd cook extravagant meals, play instruments, clean, and work out if I had my own place. See if there's anything like that for you.
If you're already socially phobic, I think inviting randoms over might be a bit much. I'd encourage you to push your comfort zone during at least one day of your freedom though. And don't let mild sickness hold you down!
