I'm loving this at the moment...

For the first time in my life, I was given flowers by a guy this weekend! Nothing extravagant, just some simple tulips but needless to say, I am completely chuffed!

Pink Shirt Thursday Pic...

It's Sunday and I'm finally getting around to posting my PST pic...so here it is, for better or for worse! It's one of those taken-in-the-mirror shots...so the quality is less than perfect.

Gratuitous eye candy...of Chris Evans...

After the reaction I had on my previous post about one of the yummiest actors to visit our Antipodean shores, my friend Evan kindly donated his personal collection of Chris Evans pics! This is one seriously HOT boy!!!

The Fabulous Four...

I was out with Craig last night for dinner in Darlinghurst/Paddington which was most enjoyable. After dinner, we decided to walk over to Oxford St and have a drink and ended up going to The Oxford. As we were walking towards the pub, we noticed a lot of people outside, lots of strong lights and noise. Upon closer inspection, it was a red carpet type event being held downstairs and there were security guards, photographers and TV camera crews there so obviously there were some famous people to be viewed. So, we stuck around and who should turn up? The cast of the Fantastic Four! I had heard that they were going to be in Sydney however I had also read that it was going to be only 3 of the Four, with my favourite cast member - the highly spectacular and magnificently gorgeous Chris Evans - the missing one. Well, imagine my surpise (and absolute delight) when I saw his handsome face through the crowd! He is just as cute in the flesh as he is on screen! Unfortunately, he was fully clothed but it was still a very exciting moment of the night!

And, thanks to YarravillePaul, here's a picture of him which makes me go weak at the knees! Hubba hubba hubba!

Snugglepot and Cuddlepie...

I've been thinking about this a lot over the last couple of weeks, essentially since I had The Californian over for dinner. We both wanted an easy night in and so I made some dinner and then we watched a DVD. Now, we've both had some long conversations since MG and our relationship has become one of friendship rather than anything more involved. And so, when we sat down to watch the DVD, I let him sit on the couch and I sat on a separate chair. He though, indicated that he wanted me to sit on the couch too, between his legs and lay against him. Now, he's a hot man and I'm certainly not going to say no to an invitation like that. And so, that's how we watched the DVD. I really enjoyed it; a feeling of closeness and warmth. There wasn't anything overwhelmingly sexual about it, we didn't make out or run our hands over each other or anything. We simply sat/lay there together and watched the movie. It was lovely.

And this is the question I have...all the previous times that I've snuggled like this, it's always led to sex. Which is more than fine! BUT, is snuggling with a friend a common thing in the gay world? Can friends snuggle without the sexual overtones? Or was this some sort of one-off glitch in the matrix that shouldn't happen again?

To be honest, I'd love to be able to do this with my other gay friends...I really enjoyed the feeling and I think it's a great way to express one's feelings of friendship, kinship and affection...but is it too risky? Am I playing with fire by putting myself in a position where something more can happen which could affect the viability of our friendship? Or does this happen all the time and am I just being paranoid?

It's also Pink Shirt Thursday boys! The three gay guys in my team are all wearing ours - are you wearing yours??? I will try and post a picture tonight when I get home.

It's a dating epidemic...

It's rather interesting to see that a few guys that I'm associated with have recently started getting into the dating thing. Whether they be fellow bloggers, readers of my blog or simply just friends of mine, it seems that while Monty is endeavouring to slow down the dating merry-go-round, everyone else is ramping it up! And it's got me wondering what's been the cause?

Is it, as I read a few weeks ago, simply that the change in season has got every single male seeking a warm body for those long, cold winter's nights? OR is it just because everyone's seen the one-man-dating-disaster-scene that your correspondent is and thought, 'it can't get any worse for me'? OR possibly I have inspired everyone with the joys of doing multiple dates each week, and now they just want to get some man-action themselves?

Who knows...but it's just blown me away to see the dating activity in recent times.

On another note, I received an email yesterday from my friend Oscar, the Frenchman I met in Berlin last year. I was excited to see that he's still with his boyfriend and they are about to celebrate their 6 month anniversary! Congrats boys!
