Was God lonely?

In Nashville, going north from the Capitol is the Bicentennial mall. On that mall is a timeline of the history of Tennessee.

The first entry on the timeline is a great error.
And God stepped out on space,
and He looked around and said:
I'm lonely--
I'll make me a world.
Honestly, it made me a little pissed off. This is not the type thing you want to engrave on granite as your belief about the God who runs the universe.

God was never lonely.

As Paul taught the Athenians in Acts 17, He is:
The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.
Another reason I know he was never lonely, is because the Father had the Son. And the Son is awesome. He's a whole lot cooler than the entire creation.
