Empty Spaces

Well continuing on from the last post, I had an awesome day that day. There were a few niggles which annoyed me, but apart from that, the positive experiences that day far outweighed the negatives.

That weekend, we had planned to go to Stradbroke Island (an island about 1.5hours southeast of Brisbane) for a camping trip. But those plans were disrupted when i realised that I had an exam that Saturday. Yeah i know, the exam timetables have been out for yonks, but I really didn't want to think about it and assumed the exam was either at 8am or 9am like my other exams. But it wasn't. It was at 12pm. So that would mean i wouldn't be back until around 2pm. Which my friends thought were a bit too late to go.

So we settled on just a day out. Which was fair enough. Better a day out than nothing at all. Plans were made and we had set the time to meet each other at Roma st station in the city at 7.30am to catch the 7.49am train out. Me being quite the punctual one, and having a phobia of being late, i left home at 6.40am, thinking that everyone else would have been mindful of when we were supposed to meet.

So I get there just a bit before 7.30. Noone is there yet. So i sit a while. Its now 7.49 and the train is here, but I still haven't seen my friends yet. Then i get a call. They're running late and have missed their train in. >.< gahhh.. so we now have to wait an hour for the next one.. Good on you guys!!! I can see your so totally prepared and organised. meh whatever.. They finally got here a few minutes later. I guess their being late was good for me in the sense that i was able to go to maccas to grab a bite to eat, since i didn't have breakfast.

So after food, train came and we headed out. My FUCKING god, that train trip was long....an hour!!! geez i seriously think even the train down to the gold coast was quicker.

Oh one embarrasing thing i forget to mention.. haha... well while at the platform waiting for the train, i was thinking about him..lets call him TN. TN is this guy I met from a car club. Although not the best lookin guy, he's kinda cute and we get along pretty well. He makes me happy when we talk. But he seems to only talk to me when he wants. Kind of like im only his friend when he feels like it. Anyway i had invited him to come along, but he didn't want to... blah.. he never comes to anything i invite him to.

continuing on... i was thinking about him. and for some silly reason my mind wandered and i ended up with a hard-on....(yeh if u don't already know, im a homo... yeh whatever.. big deal...nah seriously i don't really know what i am.. im still in questioning. im emotionally confused - which is partly why i created this blog so that i could open up my feelings instead of bottling them up).. just as the train came... urgh.. i was wearing really thin board shorts too so i had a prominent bulge. Luckily i had my bag with me, which i put infront of myself to cover it up. glad noone noticed.. i've heard of morning wood.. but this is ridiculous.. especially in public.. haha

Cutting things short, saw a cute boy on the train.. (refer to previous post), 1 hour later caught a bus to the ferry terminal and then a 30min boat ride later, we were there on Straddy. It was raining which annoyed me because i didn't come here for it to rain on me. Then got on another bus (which the bus driver was quite rude!) and headed out to the main beach and lookout area.

Surprisingly when we got there the rain had passed and it was a beautiful sunny day. We did the whole touristy gorge walk and taking photos etc. Then after that we decided to get some lunch. There were 4 of us, and we were all hungry. Except 2 of them, lets call them MK and MI were very undecided on what they wanted... OMFG there was only two options! a fish and chip store, or a bakery... how the F can u still be undecided? Frustrated and hungry we walked around for a bit, until i told my other friend, AB that i'm just gonna go order some fish and chips regardless of what MK and MI want to do because i was epically hungry. He said he agreed and said he'd order with me cos he was hungry too. MK and MI finally came to their senses and followed on with us and made their order. Apart from that no other dramas.. the food was pretty good.

We now decided that we wanted to go to the beach, so a bus ride later, we got to the main swimming beach, Cylinder beach.. at first i thought it was pretty ugly. But the longer i stayed there, the more i started to appreciate beautiful it really was. I hated salt water, and had initially said that i wasnt going to swim. I also said i wasn't going to take my shirt off because i didn't want to be burnt to a crisp. a bit of convincing later, there i was shirtless and in the water.

I have to say though, WOW. Im glad they did get me in the water. It was so beautiful. The water was crystal clear, water termperature was perfect and even 100m out i could still stand up - heck even the salt water wasn't as salty as i thought it would have been. I stayed in the water for a couple of hours, and then we came out to relax on the sand for a bit. MI and I made marine creatures out of sand. While AB and MK played some beach soccer with some brazilian guys we had met doing the gorge walk. :-)mm eyecandy... a few of them wore nothing but skimpy trunks which didn't really leave much to the imagination.

MI and I decided to go back into the water. We stayed there until eventually the beach closed. We got changed and got eaten by mosquitoes as we waited for the bus back to the ferry. about 2 hours later we were back in brissy and went to a cheap restaurant for dinner. I wanted to go to pancake manor after that for dessert but noone else wanted to so we all just disbanded and went home. Kind of dissapointed but i was so tired at that stage that i didn't really care.

Anyway all in all, it was an amazing day. I gained a great appreciation of the beach and of the ocean, plus i got to stare at quite a few hotties. The only thing i keep wondering is how much better the day would have been if TN had come along.

Today though was a pretty ordinary day. 5 Hours of uni straight.. urgh.
In between classes, i went into the toilet to take a leak, and caught two guys playing with each other.. :-) *dirty thoughts* haha.
