    Hello all. I thought it was apt to say hello on my first day on EC. I'm 21 years old, I'm a student, and I'm currently in a state of confusion about my sexuality (which is perfectly fine, I think). I think I'm bisexual - I have had one or two sexual experiences with men in the past, and I enjoyed them. I'm pretty certain I sit somewhere towards the straight end of the spectrum - women are my preferred choice, but I find I'm attracted to both.

    I'm not entirely comfortable with my sexuality yet - I've only really told two people, one of whom is the girl I'm seeing at the moment (who is really cool about it, which is awesome - before we got a little more serious, she was even actively encouraging it) and the other is my friend, who is openly gay. I had a chat to him about how I was feeling while we were very drunk at a club the other night, and he was very supportive about it, as you'd expect. He's made me come to terms with myself a little more! I suppose when I was a teenager and experimenting I thought it was just that - experimentation; but perhaps we're all on the continuum. Right?

    I like to write (I keep a regular blog, but I can't post it on here - bugger! Could have got some views...) and I've written some things for small-time blogs and journals. I also play guitar, and I love blues and jazz. I go to the gym four or five times a week, another passion of mine, and I like to run too; recently I ran a half marathon in 1:57:46. Not great, I know, but getting there.

    So that's my lengthy introduction to myself. I want to thank this community in advance, and the founders also. Hi everyone!
