Las Primeras Dias

Haven't really been on a computer because I didn't have the foresight to buy an adapter for my laptop and it has no battery, assumed I couldn't write on here via mobile and couldn't really be bothered to if I could to be honest. Didn't give enough thought to how demanding of an endeavour this blog thing is, documenting everything is testing and I am no Kerouac esque personality who can lay out his feelings with any sort of ease anyway, but I´ll carry on writing (if in a slightly superficial way).
Settling into Quito pretty well all in all. Spent much of my time in Cumbaya, stalking Juan whilst he attends Uni and doing not much at all in the grounds of the place. Pretty much a continuation of the last three years aside from the geography and stalking. Cumbaya and the University itself are both really beautiful places though. 
Last Saturday I went to a party of Juan's friends' which was pretty cool, the house would cause Kevin Mccloud to have the biggest orgasm known to man and his friends were jamming which was good entertainment. Ecuadorean beer is pretty good too, I mean I was drinking Brahma so I don't know why I'm saying that here, but I have tried it and it has my approval for sure. The DJ played Tribe for me too, so all in all it was a success. Didn't intend on commenting on the standard of girls there but I realise that my friends from Whitehaven are an assuming and suspicious bunch, don't wanna be called a big gay or anything - Ecuadorean girls are hot. And are puzzlingly interested in British people. Although my accent scarcely gives away the fact I am British. I feel like my first experience of a party here should have bore more fruit in terms of this being a longer, more interesting account, but then I guess all parties comprise pretty much of a bunch of people getting pissed and having a good time - so there isn't much else I can say.
I think this entry is gonna be very mundane cos the only entertaining characteristic I have is occasionally being able to make people laugh and I only source my humour from acerbic thoughts about life, maybe here I am at the moment too happy to be funny and therefore entertaining. As Lee Ranaldo says though 'you can change your clothes, change your hairstyle, your friends, cities, continents, but sooner or later your old self will always catch up, always it waits in the wings'.....plus the class system here is already stressing me out so maybe in time this will ferment into a-musings. 
I auditioned for an advert selling cable on the TV here yesterday, which was a pretty funny thing to do. I can confirm to anybody out there insane enough to think I have it in me to replace Heath Ledger that this is not so, but it was good to have a go at it anyway. If I by some miracle am selected then I'll be sure to link you all to the Youtube clip, and never return home knowing the abuse I'd get.
Sorry to waste your time with this shit, I know that if you wanted the rambling of an egotistical prick and no laughs in between then you could just buy a Michael McIntyre DVD.....I just really don't have it in me at this moment in time. I have been trying my hand at some creative writing for the first time in a long time and I'd share that instead but if you know or are one of my home friends then you will understand my motives behind withholding them. 
Tomorrow I am going to my first Spanish lesson, sure to be a disaster and therefore perhaps provide a laugh or two, so will jot down how it goes and then maybe upload it onto here should there be anything worth telling.
