I usually go camping. Nature is the only thing that makes sense in those moments. And then I get to spend a different kind of time with people, but don't have to deal with the random stupidity that seems to overtake civilization from time to time. Maybe the less romantic reason is that the novelty of camping is just a distraction... but I don't think I believe that.
My other solution is to spend an evening in the dark with some DVDs and one or two non-offensive people. That way, I get the physical presence of company in the room, yet I don't feel obligated to entertain anyone.
That's probably no help, but it's an answer to the question... it's good to hear from you, though.
