    Hey everyone

    You may (or may not) have noticed that I haven't been on here too much for the past month or so. I must admit that it was a self-imposed break, but it was necessary due to my current circumstances. I'm currently house-sitting for my aunty and uncle on the other side of town, and their monthly internet download allowance is ridiculously small (and I hate their computer), so I had to make some sacrifices, and EC was one of them. Thankfully, I am now back at uni so I can at least access EC when I am there. Unfortunately, it will largely only be in a lurking capacity, with no chat until I move back home in September.

    For the first few weeks, I really missed it here. I lost count of the amount of times that I wanted to get on here. In fact, there were a couple of times where I came so close to logging on, but I managed to stop myself (I didn't have the same luck with Facebook though). But now, I think having the break has been good. I think I now realise that I was probably spending a bit too much time on EC before I went away and that I should cut back on the amount of time I spend here, although at the moment I don't have much of a choice.

    So, what have I been doing during this time? For the most part, I have been working and watching TV and some DVDs. I have explored a few nearby suburbs, and visited one of my friends at his work a couple of times. I have even done some baking a few times. I have really enjoyed my time here so far, and I hope to continue to enjoy it.

    However, the biggest thing that has happened so far is something that I just have to tell you about.

    Last Saturday, I went to the gay bar in the city for the first time ever.

    And I had an AWESOME time!!!! :grin:

    In fact, I even had my first gay kiss while I was there. It blew me away and I just can't describe it.

    I would go in a bit more into what happened that night, but that would create an even bigger wall of text than what is already here so I will write a blog and post it some time in the next few days to tell you everything.

    Anyway, that's all for now. I have heaps to catch up on.

    Alex
